Sounds solid to me. Zero Risk of Ruin since you have a job for now. Top off your stack as you lose pots, so rarely a full-bullet (all at once) rebuy. It sounds like you know the numbers but need to give yourself permission to jump in there. Maybe you're nervous — understandably. And maybe you're still saving. Breathe, make small moves, and take one day at a time.
I'm a bankroll nit. I know that losing a large amount would compromise me psychologically for a time. If you're like me, start slow. And bankroll management could be even more important than your technical skill — you'll rarely make huge gains but you'll never tilt off your whole roll. GLGLGL

Right. I don't need trolls effing with my head when I'm running cold. I beat myself up enough already.

Thanks! Yeah sorting out one's personal life is a prerequisite to playing decent poker. I'm a garbage player when I don't meditate or center myself somehow.

We all adapt to our new environments
Yeah, perspective for days, I hope / I think. It was very grounding. I appreciate your note.

Sure, it has a certain appeal. But I won't assume that skipping the report precludes success. I'm avoiding a situation in which I mindfkkc myself.

I didn't know anything else at the time. But now it'd be hard to revert to the outhouse.

Nah my high school was 1200 in a town of ~20k.

There are many roads to the same place.

Thank you very much.
