I met my guys last weekend, not big plans. We just sat outside, bought small drinks, and gist till night. There was no loud music. Those are my favourite moments. Once you add too much to it, the enjoyment disappears. It's just friends laughing, dragging each other and remembering old stories. I...
I was complaining to an older guy one evening about money and stress. He just told me “don’t rush life, but don’t sleep on it either.” It sounded simple, but it stuck with me. Since then, I try not to panic when things are slow, but I also push myself every day. That advice balanced everything.
I was too tired to cook yesterday, my body was just weak. I checked the kitchen and saw bread and eggs. That's my standard lazy combo. Sometimes I just add tea if I like. When you’re lazy, you don’t need too much enjoyment, just survival. Bread and egg has saved me many times honestly.
I remember one night they brought light suddenly around 11pm. Without thinking too much, I ordered food online even though the price had jumped. Hunger and excitement teamed up on me that day. The food came late and I ate very late that day. I still don’t regret it fully, but that was reckless...
I was just standing at the bus stop this morning, scrolling my phone, when one man tapped me and said “boss, your shoe is damaged.” I checked, nothing happened. He just smiled and walked off. I stood there confused for like 10 seconds. That's was so crazy though 🤣
Chasing losses is still the number one mistake, no debate about it. I’ve done it before and it was a bad move. Once you can't control your emotions, your strategy leaves quietly. Now I just set limits and make sure to respect it

Poker needs a maturity more than age. I've seen grown men chase losses like kids. Personally, I think if you can't control your emotions, you’re too young mentally to play poker.

I once entered the wrong wallet address and just stared at screen. It was actually my fault. The other one was a verification or using bonus rules wrongly. Those sites take their fine print seriously. Now I read everything slowly to understand it well

Some poker sites going crypto-only makes sense if you think about it critically. Banks are quick at rejecting gambling transactions. Crypto doesn't ask any questions, it's a straightforward process.
I started using crypto payments around covid time. Everything was locked, banks were slow. So, a friend showed me how USDT works and I have never looked back since then.
The bank card issues can be very tiring honestly. My bank card has declined for no reason many times while trying to use it. Sometimes it could be caused by the network and sometimes, they just block it for security reasons..
That Argentina vs France final is still in my head. I watched it at a viewing centre and it was so tense, noise was everywhere. When Messi lifted that cup, i totally forgot where I was.😂
I've used both PayPal and crypto and each has its own stress. PayPal once held my small money for days and it almost broke me. Crypto moves faster but the network fees can shock you. I now choose based on urgency

Switching from online to live casino is not easy at all. The first time I sat in a casino my hands were shaking. Everything is slower. In online games, I click very fast, but in live games, I have to watch people critically. I fold more now and talk less
.
In online poker makes you could be playing rubbish hands without noticing. Everything is so fast. I caught myself clicking out of boredom one night. Now I reduce tables and take breaks as much as I need it. Playing less actually helped me think more.
Money from online and casino feel different to me. Online feels like numbers on screen, but the casino cash feels real. That alone changes how careful I play. I'm slower in live games but faster online.
Bluffing online feels very weird to me honestly. There is no facial reaction, it's you and the screen. Live games at the small casino I used to visit felt more readable. People leak some info without knowing.
It's very difficult to maintain that kind of balance. For some days I feel bold, other days I would just be folding. I’ve noticed patience saves me more money than aggression ever did.
The table selection is a silent skill a lot of people ignore. And once I notice that the table mood has changed, like everybody suddenly becoming serious, I just dip. That has saved me a lot of stress.
