    What's the most memorable gift you've ever received?

    A handwritten letter was one of the most memorable presents that I have ever received, and it wasn't expensive but it was written by a friend who knew me very well and he captured every moment of my life in that letter. Having such a connection was better than any material thing could be.

    There is nothing like a rainy day when you cover up in a warm blanket, a comfort food, and some great book, or a long binge of your favourite show. There is something about the sound of the rain on the window, making it very enjoyable. What about you?

    Have you ever learned a new skill or hobby as an adult?

    One of the most difficult and, at the same time, the most fulfilling things I have ever engaged in was learning to play a guitar as an adult. Initially my fingers would hurt and I would think that I was not improving at all but gradually I began to play actual songs. It made me remember that...

    Has betting ever made you stop watching a sport?

    At one point in time, sports became almost nothing to me because of betting. I would be so obsessed with each match that involved my bets as opposed to enjoying the game. There was a moment when I found myself not watching the match due to my passion for the sport, but because of the money I stake.

    What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?

    Among the most spontaneous things I have done was to get a last minute bus ticket to another city without having any idea.

    If you could create a new holiday, what would it be?

    If I have the opportunity to create a new holiday, I would invent a Do Nothing Day, one of those days where we does not feel guilty about anything and can simply take a break, re-energize and perhaps eat well. No pressure, no expectations, simply a national psychological reset day.

    How do you deal with losing streaks, and what strategies help you stay resilient?

    I have never seen anyone that is completely immune from losing streaks in poker. It's something that hits everyone, but it's meant to test your patients even more than your skills. For me, I deal with it by setting limits and sometimes I step away to avoid chasing losses. I also make sure to...

    What handicapping techniques and statistics do you rely on most when sports betting?

    I think the best approach for handicapping is to follow the head-to-head stats, player injuries, possession rate and the expected goals. Apart from that, I also try to pay attention to factors like travel schedules, weather and team fatigue. All these signals are crucial to choosing the handicap...

    What are your strategies for analyzing odds fluctuations during live sports betting?

    Analyzing the odds during live betting is quite challenging and it's also very difficult to spot the shifts that don't really match the flow of the game. So what I do is to watch the momentum swings, injuries, time left and how odds are adjusted in real time and when you find the bookies...

    How do you use RTP (Return to Player) and variance to pick which slot machines to play?

    Most of the players always considered RTP and variance when it comes to slot games. A high RTP say 96%+ suggests that you have long-term returns. Variance indicates to you that you are in for a small but steady payout. If you are lucky, you could probably get a big swing with jackpots. Low...

It gives you variety and convenience to play from anywhere, but you would definitely miss out on reading your...

    Are 6 max or 9 max cash games more beatable?

    6-max has always been swingier but more profitable with the aggression, but 9-max is safer.

    Do players tilt more often in cash games?

    Yeah, I think so. In tournaments, when you bust, you are out of it--there is no opportunity to continue and keep digging. People will continue to stick their hands into their pockets as long as they have cash, which only contributes to the tilt cycle.

    How to deal with tilt after playing cash?

    I attempt to review my hand histories when I tilt rather than sulking. Knowing whether I really played a hand wrong or it was simply a bad luck makes me relax. It lets me step up my game.

    Playing Cash Games Live Vs Online

    I tend to lean toward online games since I can enjoy the volume and the ability to multi-table, but I have to admit that there is no substitute for live poker, in terms of the reads, the banter, even the nerves.

    Do you get an adrenaline rush when you play cash games?

    It has to depend on the stakes. I don't get an adrenaline rush when I do micro-stakes but when it comes to big money, my heart would be pounding.

    Do you have a go-to "good luck" charm or ritual when you gamble?

    Most gamblers acknowledge that they have rituals prior to making a bet, be it wearing a lucky jersey, tapping the screen twice, or even betting at a particular time of the day. Personally, I laugh it off as superstition, but some people believe it increase their confidence. Do you believe in that?
