Yes, I had a lot of luck on the day which I am grateful for...though I did also have some shocking luck during my December slump.
I haven't played any live cash games yet though I know it's where a lot of the pros make their money. Getting up to the casino to try the cash games up there might be one of my next goals.
I am a bit wary of the fun diminishing. That's happened to me with my sports betting, where I did very well for a few years 2013-2017 but have since lost the passion for it. I'm hoping with the poker that the friendships I've made and natural competitiveness that I have will keep me going.
