    What's the most money you've ever won or lost in a single poker session?

    My biggest tournament win was in an online MTT on PokerStars for $750, finishing 1st out of about 3,900 players in a $1 buy-in. My second-biggest tournament win was on ACR for $732. I don’t play enough tournaments with large fields or higher buy-ins to give myself more frequent shots at bigger...

    Have you ever lost your bankroll while sticking to your bankroll management rules?

    Every time I’ve lost my bankroll, it was because I broke my bankroll management rules at some point. It took several difficult lessons before I finally built the discipline to stick to what I’m trying to do and not deviate from my strategy. Ever since I committed to bankroll management and...

    Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano Netflix Card - How Many Viewers Will It Draw?

    Ronda Rousey has been overhyping her MMA return on Netflix, but I still think the card will do well. What do you think? I’m also looking forward to seeing Francis Ngannou fight in MMA again, it’ll probably be a quick knockout.

    Do you think the Paramount deal was a smart move for the UFC?

    I think the Paramount deal with the UFC is good for viewers because it’s cheaper to subscribe to Paramount than to buy UFC pay-per-view events. However, I don’t think fighters are benefiting from higher pay, at least from what I’ve seen some of them say. Sean Strickland comes to mind off the top...

    Would you rather watch MMA or boxing?

    I usually prefer MMA over boxing, but it I’d rather watch MMA when the fighters are standing and going for the knockout. I usually prefer MMA over boxing, but it still depends on who’s fighting. I mostly watch for the knockouts or a good scrap. How about you?

    Article Understanding Variance in Poker Tournaments (Why You’re Not Running as Bad as You Think)

    Tournament poker can feel brutal, even for solid players. You can study, play well, make all the right decisions, and still brick tournament after tournament. That’s where variance comes in, and understanding it is essential if you want to stay sane and make long-term progress. Variance in...

    Article The Dark Side of Online Poker: Superusers, Scandals, and Black Friday

    Online poker has come a long way from its early 2000s boom, but its history isn’t exactly spotless. Alongside the growth of the game came a series of scandals involving “superuser” accounts, insider access, and questionable business practices that shook player confidence and forced the industry...

    Do you change your strategy when you’re the short stack at a final table?

    For me, it depends on the other stack sizes at the table and whether players are playing aggressively. I’m always looking for a good spot to double up when I’m short stacked, especially at a final table, since the real money is in the top three. Do you play differently when you’re short stacked...

    Does sports betting worth long term investment?

    I think it’s possible to sustain long-term winning in sports betting, but for me it’s not something I’m willing to commit to as a main source of income. I do enjoy occasionally betting on sports or making small wagers against friends or family for a bit of money and bragging rights.

    Do You Need Rakeback to Play on a Poker Site?

    Rakeback is a nice bonus, but I’m still willing to play on sites without it if the games themselves are rewarding. How important is rakeback when you choose a site?

    Do rich people still gamble because they want money?

    Everyone is different. Many wealthy individuals gamble out of boredom or for the thrill of winning. I’d assume those are the main motivations for the rich.

    Have you ever used the cash out feature in sports betting platforms?

    I only used sports betting on poker sites that offered a sportsbook. Unfortunately, none of those options are available to me anymore unless I submit my ID to the major poker sites to regain access.

    Do you think that casinos are transparent?

    I don’t see why casinos wouldn’t take steps to protect their players. Failing to do so could be harmful and might expose them to legal action, potentially forcing them to shut down.

    Which software or app do you actually pay for?

    Pretty much the same here. I stopped paying for Spotify once I started using it through the Brave browser, since it skips ads for free.
