Dear Poker... Thank You

[JohnnyHumongous]

I just want to take a moment and thank poker for everything it's done for me. Poker, you have given so very very much and asked so little in return. You have given me a lifestyle almost all men would envy, at an age when my peers are up to their eyeballs in debt and living well below their means.

At an age when most men have long since retired from athletic careers they pursued in high school and instead taken up the sport of career mobility, Poker, you have given me an activity that I can excel at, in direct competition with others, and that gives me a tremendous sense of satisfaction.

You have challenged my brain to analyze enormous amounts of information, both quantitative and qualitative, in a short amount of time and with a lot riding on the outcome. For all these things, I want you to know that someone out there is appreciative. I'm sure I've missed a lot but you get the idea about how I feel.

Best of luck in the future, and please, stay healthy and safe.

Sincerely,
Johnny H.
