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

    I believe for most players it it is easier to build a bankroll playing cash games. That's because cash games have lower variance, steadier results, and flexible session lengths, as compared to tournaments. Also, you can quit anytime and protect your bankroll better.

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

    If you already know basic things and want to build knowledge and experience playing, I do not see any harm in trying cash games but make sure you play with just a small fund. But it is generally advised that you build knowledge before you try with cash.

    General Strategy What's your approach to bankroll management in cash games?

    Bankroll management is non-negotiable for me. I always keep at least 30 to 50 buy-ins for a stake and move down when needed. I do not usually chase losses.

    General Strategy How do you handle table selection & knowing when to leave a profitable game?

    I choose tables with weaker, loose players and avoid tough lineups. I leave when the table tightens, strong players replace fish, or I feel tired or unfocused. I also leave table when I think I have lost or won enough.

    That's Nepal. Gambling is altogether illegal. However, there are casinos and only foreigners are allowed to enter casinos. Gambling brings a lot of revenue but they only allow foreigners to play. Sometimes they allow gambling in the name of raffle or fun events.

    Comparing Poker to the Lottery

    We don't have a lottery here but in the past government organized lottery especially when trying to raise funds for certain events. I don't think Poker has anything to do with lottery. Lottery is just a game of luck, if you are lucky, you win. Poker needs to played with a strategy.
