    When Should You Quit a Session?

    When I have won substantially and then start losing little, I quit. I also quit when my bankroll drops by 50 percent.

    Reading Yourself Before Reading Opponents

    Self awareness and reading other players, both are important to become successful in poker. However, when I compare both I give more importance to self awareness. Since poker is hugely depended on how you play, I trust self judgement more

    Fear of Moving Up in Stakes

    I move up when I lose, I also move up when I am winning. However, when I move up no matter the reason, I am always afraid of my decision. I have not been able to over come the fear of moving up in stakes

    The Role of Patience in Poker Success

    I think patience is underrated skill. A lot of people want quick results. Poker isn't like other games where you start winning immediately, you need patience at the table.

    Trusting Your Reads vs. Following Theory

    I try to follow theory, I also trust my reads, however, when theory and my reads conflict, I always go with my reads. It is easier to trust myself than a theory based on some other people's perception.

    How Much Does Mindset Affect Win Rate?

    I would say 50 percent. Poker needs technical skills but just because you have technical skills does not mean you will always be on the winning side. You also need emotional control and decision making skills. Therefore, mindset plays a huge role

    Dealing With Poker Burnout

    Frankly speaking, I have never played to the point that I started feeling burned out. I do get bored while playing, especailly when I am playing long session. However, I don't play too much to feel burned out

    Do you get angry when losing on the river/bad beats?

    I never got mad when I lost but I do get little angry and frustrated. Losing is a disappointment and when I am disappointed, it is natural for me to get little angry, however, the situation is temporary, and soon I take control over my emotions.

    Become too popular?

    In my place, it isn't very popular. Online poker scene has certainly become more popular than in the past. I see a lot of new sites evolving and becoming popular.

    Why no chatting at the tables

    I think a little bit of chatting is fine because it makes the game fun. However, too much talking can come as a distraction. A lot of people I know avoid talking and try to play in silence.

    What's the Most Underrated Part of Poker?

    I think a lot of people forget about emotional control. A lot of people easily give in emotionally, whether they are winning or losing.

    How do you explain poker to people who don’t play?

    I am not very good player, therefore, I am not in a position to give advice to other players. However, I can give few tips to newbies based on my experience. I tell them to learn technicalities and also control their emotions.

    The Best Poker Trip You've Taken

    I haven't traveled long distance for poker, I haven't been outside the town just to play poker. However, in few occasion when I went to other towns for vacation, I have played in the local casinos

    Poker and Friendships

    I haven't made any friends online or live while playing poker, however, I play with friends. Sometimes my friends and cousins bring in new player at home games, we get familiar but never went too far to become friends.

    Poker Superstitions

    In the past, I used to read horoscope before playing poker. If my star signs were favorable I played, and if they were unfavorable, I avoided. Interestingly, I used to lose even when the star signs were favorable.

    How Has Poker Changed Over the Years?

    I haven't played for a long time, so I haven't seen noticeably any changes. The only change I saw, especially in online poker, is the payment method. When I tied first time, they did not support bitcoin or other cryptos, I had to use Skrill or Neteller. These days almost all poker site accepts...

    Home Games: Love Them or Hate Them?

    These days I play home games more than online games or in the casino. I absolutely love love games, I either play with my cousins or friends. Home games are casual, winning or losing does not matter, it is all about having good times.

    What's Your Favorite Live Poker Venue?

    We have over a dozen casinos in the town, these casinos are located in five star hotels. They offer free foods and drinks to the players. These days I don't visit casinos too often but in the past I liked going to casino called Everest casino. I had a relative who was a manager there

    What would it take for another poker boom?

    I think sponsoring major events like sports tournaments, music festivals, or even movie festivals will help Poker to gain popularity. Poker needs more marketing for gaining massive popularity.

    Does anyone actually make a full-time living from betting?

    I know a few people who gamble as a full time income. However, I wouldn't try it myself. It is too risky as it is not possible to be on the winning side always.
