    If poker didn’t exist, what game would you play instead?”

    Poker isn't the only game I am playing for fun, there are a lot of other card games that I enjoy playing. I don't do sports betting but I play a few casino games as well as video games. We have a lot of local card games that I enjoy, Teen Patti is one of them.

    Do You Try and Help Other Players Improve at Poker?

    I am certainly willing to help but sadly I am no expert. In fact, I am also a learner. Having said that if a complete novice asks for guidance I am always ready to help

    What's the biggest strategic mistake you see recreational players make ?

    One mistake I see a lot of people making is becoming too attached to a hand simply because money has already gone into the pot. Recreational players often keep calling when the situation clearly looks bad. They rarely accept that folding is sometimes the best decision.

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

    Yes, I do get annoyed after a tough river card or a bad beat. I think that's a pretty normal reaction. However, the frustration is usually temporary. After a few minutes, I realize that variance is part of poker.

    Is high IQ needed to succeed in poker?

    I don’t think you need an exceptionally high IQ to succeed in poker. What I believe is more importan is discipline, patience, emotional control, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. I’ve seen a of smart people struggle because they lack those qualities, whereas others do well simply by...

    What's your biggest poker mistake?

    Making emotional decisions and chasing losses. Even though I know how bad it is to make emotional decisions and chase losses but when you are deeply involved in the game, you sometimes end up making these mistakes

    What's the best piece of poker advice you have received?

    Don't make emotional decisions and never chase the losses. Most people lose frequently when their decisions are based on emotions or when they chase losses

    Playing For Fun Vs. Playing For Money

    It is always playing for fun for me. However, even when I am trying to have fun, I also like to win. When you play and when you win, your fun element just doubles.

    Be honest: Do you study to be a better poker player? or just play for fun?

    I try to learn so that I have greater advantage at the table. However, I play for fun more than playing to win. I have no desire to become a pro, I am just a casual player.

    What are the difficult challenges experienced with playing poker in your life?

    Online gambling is illegal in our country and playing in casinos is allowed only to foreigners. I cannot play poler without breaking the laws. This is the biggest challenge for me.

    Are You Playing Too Many Hands in Online Poker Without Realizing It?

    This actually happens to me quite often. When I'm playing online, the pace can make it easy to drift into hands I would normally fold without much thought. Sometimes I catch myself playing more hands simply because the action is moving fast, not because the spot is actually good.

    Essential Poker Concepts Every New Player Should Learn

    A new to poker should focus on the basics concepts like position, starting hand selection, bankroll management, and pot odds. I see a lot of beginners jump into advanced strategies too quickly, but having a solid grasp of these fundamentals are more important.

    How Important Are Table Reads in Online Cash Games?

    I think table reads matter even in online games. Even without physical tells, you can learn a lot from how someone bets, how often they enter pots, and whether they adjust to different opponents. Those patterns often become your biggest source of information.

    Aggressive vs Conservative Bankroll Management – Which Wins Long Term?

    Conservative bankroll management usually wins long term because it reduces risk of going broke and keeps you in the game during downswings. Aggressive approaches can grow faster, but they also increase the chance of big losses.

    Have You Ever Gone Broke From Poor Bankroll Management?

    I have lost my entire deposit a couple od times but I haven't gone broke due to poor bankroll management..I play with a fixed budget and if I lose, I don't fund my account immediately. I will come back only after few weeka

    Too much money?

    I top up my account with $20-$30. I stop playing of my bankroll goes down by 40 percent. If I win, I try to withdraw my deposits. I don't play with big money. I play for fun and I don't want to become frustrated with losses
  17. Maya

    Should poker winnings be regularly withdrawn or fully reinvested?

    I withdraw 50 percent and keep 50 percent in my account. Winning is uncertain so I do not "reinvest' all my winnings. I keep some portions of wins so that I can play next day or next week.

    Bankroll Management in Deep Stack vs Short Stack Games

    Deep stack games need a bigger bankroll because swings can be larger and decisions postflop get more complex. Short stack games are usually more stable, but you still need discipline since variance can hit quickly.

    Why Do Some Players Struggle to Fold Strong Hands When Boards Get Scary?

    I have observed even experienced players finding it hard to let go of premium hands when the board becomes dangerous. Is it due to the attachment to hand strength or fear of being bluffed? How do you train yourself to fold confidently in high-pressure spots?

    How Much Does Game Selection Matter Compared to Skill in Poker?

    I hear some people saying that choosing the right table is more important than improving technical play. Is “table selection” the most underrated edge in poker ? How do you decide whether to stay at a table or leave it mid-session?
