    If you have the best possible hand, do you bet big right away or try to "trap" people?

    Frankly speaking, if I have the best possible hand I bet right away. I want to intimidate people so that they can fold and I can win. I think trying to trap other people can be risky because they also might have good hand.

    What is the hardest poker rule for beginners to learn?

    Technical skills are easier to learn in poker. The more you play, the better you will become with technical skills. However, soft skills such as making good decisions, emotional control, playing within your bankroll limits are harder to master.

    Talking during a hand – Do you like it when people talk while they are playing, or should it be dead silent?

    Little bit of talking is fine for me, but talking too much breaks my concentration and I don't like talkative people, especially when I am losing. I want to concentrate more on the game when I am not performing well

    Do you track wins/losses in home games?

    Whether I play in the casino, online poker sites, or home games, I always track wins and losses. I track my performance in order to minimize losses.

    Do you know how to skate?

    I don't know how to skate, I never learned. When I was a kid, I wanted to try but my father did not encourage me to take skating because he feared I would hurt myself.

    Soccer players that were extremely talented as teenagers but failed to fulfil potential?

    Spanish footballer Ansu Fati was expected to be the next Messi but went on to beocme a benchwarmer. Alexandre Pato is Brazil's forgotten prodigy. Another player worth mentioning is Bojan. The Spanish player had a promising career when he was yound but fail to charm as he grew older.

    What sports do you refuse to play?

    These days I only play squash and badminton. But when I was in teens, I played football and cricket. There are a lot of sports that I don't think I will ever play, and one of them is wrestling.

    Poker Etiquette in Home Games

    Demeaning other players is extremely prohibited at my home games. I don't host home games for people who are only looking towards winning and then running away.

    Online Home Games vs. Public Tournaments

    I have never participated in public tournaments but I do play home games frequently. Sometimes I go to my friends or cousins' houses to play, and sometimes I invite them at my home games.

    What keeps your home game fun?

    Food, drinks and and light-hearted chats make my home game fun. I don't serve alcoholic drinks because I don't drink, I mostly serve soda or sherbets.
  14. Nomad

    What are the possible taboos in poker?

    Poker has a lot of unwritten rules of etiquette. I think these unwritten are the taboos because breaking these rules are considered disrespectful to other players. Some common taboos are using deceptive tactics to gain an unfair advantage) and taking too long to reveal a winning hand.

    What's the best poker-related purchase you've made?

    I once bought dual toned casino poker chips and a deck deck of water proof plastic cards. Even though I buy cards frequently, I don't usually buy expensive cards but this one cost me a lot.

    Do you collect poker memorabilia?

    I am not a collector but once I received a poker chips set from a friend and I have kept it as a souvenir.
  17. Nomad

    Do you watch poker content outside of playing?

    I enjoy playing poker but I am not very good at it. Therefore, I sometimes watch poker content, especially, tutorial and tips videos on youtube.
  18. Nomad

    What's the Hardest Part of Poker?

    I also believe emotional control is the hardest part of playing poker. If you start losing, you are tempted to increase your stakes to recover your losses, and even if you are winning, you are tempted to increase your stakes in a hope to win more. You can hardly contain your emotions.
  19. Nomad

    Do you prefer playing with friends or strangers?

    I am not very good at it, so most of the time I lose. When I play with friends, losing does not matter because the winner always gives treat to the losers. Therefore, I like to play with friends.

    Do You Prefer Playing During the Day or at Night?

    When I play online, I usually play in the late evening. However, when I play at home, I usually like to play in the afternoon.
