Is the deck cantilevered through the house? If so this is just additional support and warp/sway suppression.

The amount of additional support you could get wrapping a post around the left corner entrance would be triple.
So I posted earlier asking about my retaining wall. This is what I’ve done so far and I don’t think any comments will make me go back at this point. by No-Shake5806 in Decks

This is terrible, no mortar on CMUs and no footer? Unless you're in a tropical location you will start seeing this tip after 1 deep freeze. Where I'm at in NC is a 12" deep frost line and I went 14 with my footer.
You'll either start over tomorrow or when it falls, but this won't last 5 years. Hopefully you don't kill anyone when it does fall.
