Poker in 2018

So, One of my new year's resolutions in 2018 was to make more male friends - so I started looking for a poker game in my local community .... And had no luck. And then I decided to gather some (non-poker) friends and head to the local casino for $1/$2 face to face poker. Twin Rivers is the Casino. We get together once a month, and I bring $300 (the max you are allowed to start at the table) - and sit and play for a few hours after dinner. So far, I've been 4 times and walked out with ~$320, ~$40, $550, and $644
