They're starting to call me an addict. I wouldn't say that I am one. I do look forward to playing poker at the end of each week. Not 'cuz I like courting lady luck or taking a chance on chance...

Poker is helping me overcome my big fear of losing and letting go of money. Poker is helping me loosen up with my money and be more open to investing some of it. Poker is also breaking down my risk-aversion, and is helping me figure out how much to rely on my intuition. I'm learning how to recover more quickly from losses and get right back into trying to win the game.

So, at this point, whether I gain or lose money playing poker, it's win-win.
