The postpartum feels is no joke. I kept telling myself that, with time and grace, I’d eventually get back to feeling more like myself. Until I started coming to the realization that I’m not going back. There’s a mourning of the death of your old identity, one that was consumed with countless things that never really mattered. Now it’s time to celebrate and look forward as I’m building the next version of me. And I really like where she’s headed. 🤎

[Maria Ho @MariaHo]

I completely agree. I have been exposed to the negative environments but I don’t actually have any information I am sitting on and not sharing outside of one person who stole money from me directly but it was so long ago I just am protecting my peace by cutting her out of my life a long time ago. I try my best to not surround myself with those kinds of people. I have a lot of secondhand stories I’ve heard that are not mine to share but I try to encourage people to come out with them but they are not my stories to tell because I didn’t see it firsthand.

[Maria Ho @MariaHo]

💯 I’m glad you didn’t let the bad apples sour you on the game. Poker is too great a game to let scummy people ruin it for you or anyone else. The environment was less predatory when I first started. I hope new players just discovering the game can find a safer, more enjoyable scene to play in.

[Arden Cho @arden_cho]

I love poker. I stepped away from the public poker scene for a while because I saw enough behind the scenes to know who & what I wanted no part of.

But I never stopped playing.

Great games exist. Great people exist. I just choose my games and my company very carefully now.
