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

    I used to get mad at bad beats too, especially when a hand slips away on the river. Over time, I’ve learned to step back, stick to bankroll rules, and trust the process. Taking breaks when frustration builds is key because playing while angry only makes things worse.

    Position is huge in poker. Being in late position gives you more info because you see what others do before acting, which let you play more hands or control the pot size.

    Do You Like to Play Online or Live

    Playing For Fun Vs. Playing For Money

    For me, poker is fun first but the money definitely adds extra excitement. Winning makes the game feel better but if you worry too much about the money, the fun disappears and the pressure takes over. The best spot is enjoying the game while still paying attention to what’s at stake.

    What coping mechanisms or strategies work best for you when dealing with urges to gamble?

    When the urge to gamble hits, it's better to distract yourself with another activity. Go for a walk, listen to music, cook or keep busy with a hobby. Keeping your hands and mind occupied can break the cycle and give you a chance to reset before the urge takes over.

    What's the best way to deal with stress or anxiety?

    I can relate to that. When stress or anxiety hits, stepping away is the best move. Doing something else like watching a show, listening to music or just zoning out for a bit really helps take the edge off. It’s amazing how much a little break can reset your head and even ease the physical tension.

    If you won the lottery, what are the first three things you'd do?

    Exactly, the amount changes everything. A small win like $1k might feel nice, but it’s not enough to make a big impact or take big risks. People chase the bigger numbers because that’s what really motivates decisions not the small stuff.

    Legal gambling can do a lot of good, like funding public services, but it can also cause serious problems for families and individuals. It really comes down to how it’s managed and whether people can keep it under control. Too much of it without boundaries can definitely be destructive.
