    What Bankroll Size Do You Recommend for Online Poker?

    A lot of people are shouting 50 buy-ins like it's that easy. I tried playing with a small bankroll before, and honestly discipline saved me, not plenty of money. If you are reckless, even 100 buy-ins will still vanish. I would say start with what you can lose , then build it gradually.

    Do you play differently when you’re confident vs. unsure?

    Confidence change everything for me, no cap. When I am sure of something, I make bold moves and even read people well, but once doubt enters, I start to play safe.

    Can mental toughness be trained, or is it natural?

    Mental toughness is crucial. Over time, I noticed that if I step away from games a little, drink water and reset, I play better. It's just like the muscle, you train it. And experience can build it slowly, but you gats be intentional about it.

    Why haven't Liverpool sacked Slot?

    Sacking coach is not always the solution. Sometimes it's the player or system issue. If you are changing manager every season, how is the team going to be stable. Liverpool board see something the fans doesn't see.

    Arsenal beaten by Bournemouth

    Arsenal again? This is exactly why I stopped trusting their hype. Arsenal need a mentality upgrade, not just tactics. Because this kind slip is not good at all.

    Barcelona have won the La Liga 2025/2026

    Barcelona have carried that league already. 9 points with 7 games left? That's a formality. Unless miracles happen, it’s done already. Football does not experience that kind of comeback again, especially when the team is consistent.

    Twitter/X bots account purge

    This bot purge thing is long overdue. I think I saw someone drop from 20k followers to like 8k overnight 😂. Twitter is full of ghost accounts and fake engagement everywhere. But some real people will get hitted too.

    News Can poker overcome the YouTube ban hammer?

    YouTube is not a saint too. They control content based on what can bring in money. Poker will always look like gambling to them, so any little thing, they will definitely strike. Even normal creators are complaining about this talk less of poker.

    Save money?

    Saving money is a serious discipline. I try to save small amount of money but inflation can be a great enemy. Sometimes you would keep your money, next month, the value has reduced. That's the problem right there.

    What did you want to be....?

    I wanted to be a pilot that time. I was even drawing planes in my notebook everywhere. Fast forward now, see me hustling online finding a steady income. Dreams change when reality enters. But I’m trying to pursue a better life.

    What is the most important skill in poker?

    The most important skill is the emotional control first before anything. I have seen someone that knows everything but one bad beat can finish everything because they can't control their emotions. If your mind is not stable, even the best strategy can fail.

    How do you handle aggressive players?

    Aggressive players can bring in a lot of stress and pressure. I was literally talking about this today after i saw one guy kept raising every hand like it was a competition. In that situation, all you need is to calm down and watch. Those kind people burn themselves at the end of the day.

    Confidence vs. ego: where’s the line in poker?

    Ego and confidence is a very thin line. There was a session where I overplayed a hand just because I felt unstoppable. That’s ego talking, not skill. Confidence is supposed to make you calm, ego will make you make reckless decisions.

    Does Playing with Better Players Improve Your Mindset?

    Playing with better players can improve you, but only if your ego doesn't block you from learning. I joined one tougher table and it didn't work out. At first I was annoyed, but later I realized that they show me my weak spots.

    How Do You Avoid Playing When You’re Not Focused?

    If I'm not focused, I won't even open the app at all. I remembered the time I forced myself to play, I lost concentration. Playing like that is a slow way to lose money

    What’s your biggest mental leak at the table?

    That “I’m the best” mindset is a silent killer. I have found myself in that trap before. You win small and your confidence rises, next thing your decisions are driven by ego. Once you stop respecting the opponents, that's where the problem start. Confidence is good, but once ego enters, just...

    Can burnout ruin a good player?

    Burnout is not a joke at all. It can even destroy the big players. I tried forcing sessions back-to-back during one hot week, thinking more play equals more money. That was a terrible mistake. I keep making worse decisions and my anger was building up. That's the big mistake right there.

    Can Barcelona make a comeback against Atletico Madrid?

    Comeback is possible but Atletico is not a small team to joke with. They are good in defence like their life depend on it. Barca will need serious game. It's not about all this careless possession they are used to because one single mistake can cause a counter attack.
