While browsing a travel forum about backpacking in Asia, I saw someone mention spinogambino as their go-to pastime between trips. Out of curiosity, I tried poker — not my best skill, but I enjoy the challenge. The first few rounds were rough, but then I caught a streak that completely turned things around. The win wasn’t massive, but it was enough to make me grin. It reminded me that patience — in travel and in games — usually pays off.
