    How do you handle downswings without depleting your bankroll?

    Downswings are brutal, and they'll test your mental game as much as your bankroll. Most solid players will drop down a stake level or two when they've lost 10-20% of their roll, which gives them breathing room to rebuild confidence without the same financial pressure. Taking a few days off to...

    What percentage of your bankroll should you risk on a single game or tournament?

    The general rule most pros follow is risking no more than 5% of your total bankroll on any single cash game session, and even less around 2-3% for tournaments since they're higher variance. So if you've got $5,000 set aside, you'd buy in for maybe $250 max at a cash table. But here's where it...

    How do players typically read their opponents’ tells during a live poker session?

    Reading your opponents' tells is crucial when you're playing poker in person. Most players watch for small things maybe someone's hand trembles slightly, their face twitches, or they have some nervous tick that surfaces when they're bluffing. Others pay attention to betting patterns or how...

    What's the best thing about getting older?

    I think it's caring way less about what other people think. Like when you are younger you are so worried about fitting in and looking cool but as you get older you just stop giving a damn. Also having more confidence in who you are and being comfortable saying no to things you don't want to do...

    What's the best way to deal with stress or anxiety?

    Everyone's different but I think finding what actually works for you is key. Some people swear by exercise like going for a run or hitting the gym clears their head. Others need quieter stuff like meditation, deep breathing or just sitting somewhere peaceful for a bit.

    Transition from Tournament to Cash games?

    The transition seems really tough because the whole mindset is different. In tournaments you're thinking about survival and chip accumulation with escalating blinds, but cash games are about maximizing value on every single hand with no time pressure. I've heard players say the hardest...

    Cash/Ring games

    That's solid advice, especially that Mike Caro quote about raising versus calling - really makes you think about why you're in the hand. Playing patient and waiting for good spots is way smarter than getting involved in marginal situations.

    Heads up Cash Games

    I don't play poker at all, so I can't speak from experience. But heads-up seems way more intense and skill-based since you're playing almost every hand. From what I've heard, it requires totally different strategy than full tables - way more aggression and reading your opponent specifically...

    Is it easier to build a bankroll playing cash games compared to tournaments?

    I'm not into poker myself, but from what I understand, they're different skills. Cash games seem more about consistent, patient play and bankroll management, while tournaments require adjusting to changing blind levels and survival mode. Tournaments have that high variance where you can play...

    Is it advisable that a newbie should use cash games to learn playing poker?

    I'd say yes, cash games are probably better for learning than tournaments. In tournaments, one mistake can knock you out and you're done. Cash games let you keep playing, see more hands, and learn from mistakes without waiting hours for another tournament. Plus you can leave whenever you want...

    Absolutely, bankroll management is mandatory if you want to survive long-term. You can be a skilled player but still go broke if you're playing stakes that are too high or not managing your money properly. Variance is real even good players have losing streaks. Without proper bankroll...
