I have seen people finish work and are looking around for how they would get paid, simply because they failed to settle the issue of payment method before they accepted the job. That stress and pressure is not worth it after completing a job to be paid. There are many payments methods that one...
The most impressive thing about my culture is the attribute of respect. It implies that any person that is older than you deserves respect by default. That has been one culture that I personally uphold.
I always take a posture of humility as a poker player. I have actually improved since when I started playing poker but I know I have not arrived. I am always open to learning with poker because every poker game you play has something that you can learn from it. I always review my hands to see my...
Do I really ever go offline. I am always online. Even my work demands that I sneak online to check one or two things that I need to use and work. The only time that I am not online is when I am sleeping, but even at that, my internet connection is always turned on for all my devices.
I would prefer to keep my very sensitive information and files in multiple hard drives than keep them in cloud storage. The only thing about me that is stored in the he cloud are backups of my contacts and WhatsApp messages.
Teams that play highline always have very quick defenders. And Barcelona don't have those kinds of defenders. That's why they keep getting exposed when they play that highline against teams with fast attackers.
My most joyful moments as a soccer fan this year came from individual awards that players that I love won. Dembele won the Ballon D' or. I was really rooting for him to win. And Hakimi won the African Footballer of The Year. I have been cheering him on to win that too since last year.
When players hit and run in poker, they have not actually broken any rules. But I personally detest such kinds of poker players. The flow of the game is broken with such behavior. Staying around and playing a little shows respect for the table and other players.
Heads-up is never my strongest poker format. I would always prefer a 6-max or 9-max. I am a poker player that really thrives on multi hands table where I can use table dynamics to steadily grind.
Instead of calling too much in cash games, I would rather make it a raise and be in charge of the pot, and that is actually dependant on if I feel very convinced that my hand is strong enough to continue. I have learned by experience that calling too much in cash games is where players burn money.
One of the biggest mistakes I have seen poker players make at tourneys is allowing their emotions to get over them. A bad luck, and a player loses a big pot, and they just change their playing pattern and strategy to chase pots. To get above this, I always advocate every poker player to approach...
A habit that I personally use is to try and keep my play tight early on in the game, and I would loosen up later. I always play my very best hands in the very early points of the game. As the blinds get big, I add aggression to my game by raising first.
I am at best an amateur poker player and I prefer the slower pace of a 9-max table. There is reduced pressure to open up your ranges earlier. And in 9-max also, you are not obligated to be very tight with your opening hands. And then you also talk about the social connections in having a full...
I don't panic when the final tables approach. It is the time that I just play solid poker the most. I don't take unnecessary risks. Rather, I would be patient and always wait for strong spots. I always pay attention to how everyone else is playing when I am at final table. And then, I would...
The main drawback with massive player fields is that the variance is higher. But every other aspect of massive player fields poker tournaments, I love. From the tougher competition and the excitement of potentially running deep in a huge tournament is something that appeals to me. Making ye...
