Markov Chains & Long-Run Behavior · Superchallenge problem

Two players play a sequence of points; the game ends as soon as one player leads by 22 points. You win the first point with probability 1/21/2. After you win a point, you win the next one with probability 3/43/4; after you lose a point, you win the next one with probability 1/21/2. What is the probability that you win the game? Express your answer as a common fraction.
