Poker is really socially and mentally isolating and sharing time with people at a good firm if that’s doable has to be more positive
Maybe so, depending on who your coworkers are. Personally I didn't like some of my coworkers at my last job, very negative personalities, a couple were nice though. The problem is, the toxic or negative ones really sap all your energy and outweigh the positive vibes from the good ones, in my experience.
Ended up winning around $50 last night, $2k at 2/2 early on, mainly AKK87ds in 3! pot on AA3 to a cold called J9933 (...) and AKQhT5 in a 3! pot to nut flush on KT5hhh, checked through twice and I jammed turn and didn't get there with my three pair against the nut flush.
At the big game, was pretty card dead and spot dead, won AT987ds multiway early on then slowly lost it back from the blinds, the blind $300 was on one hand courtesy of me ($100/$200 and the pro to my right offered to make it $400 if I made it $300...I obliged, prompting fist bumps and "you're invited to the next three games" from the organizer lol), but didn't wake up with a hand. Folded crappy AA752 no nut suit preflop once to a squeeze and would have won, flopping a bad flush. Finally got the double with top set near the end before the game broke. Did see a $35k pot KK v. 77+nfd on K72cc, the loser was pretty shell shocked. I would have been too, brutal. Game will be good and running tonight again, will try to get a seat. Was donning my new sweater half zip, green and blue tints and green slacks and hat last night, looking very chic if I am say so myself.
