What's your favorite way to stay entertained on a long road trip?
My favorite way is to download plenty of music and podcasts before the journey because network might not be reliable. One minute you are on 4G, then, the next minute it's E that can't even load WhatsApp messages. So I download about 50 songs that I can play on repeat.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Does Your Sleep Schedule Affect Family Life?
This one is indeed a very serious issue in my house. My wife sleep by 9pm while I wake up by 1am to catch up on work because that's the only time it's quiet and the internet is very fast as well. So we practically live like housemates that is sharing different time zones. 🤣- uptrendfinancialsignal

What made you smile today?
Today I smiled when I saw my neighbor's 2 years old boy dancing to a song that was playing from a passing bus. The way the boy was shaking his body was very funny. He didn't know the rhythm but he really tried.- uptrendfinancialsignal

When should you move down limits/stakes?
A lot of people don't what to move down their stakes. They feel it's a disgrace but I don't see it that way. If your bankroll as reduced to certain point why force big stakes because of pride? There is no point doing that.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Bankroll Management for Cash Games?
Cash games can be very tempting because you can reload anytime.. I treat cash games differently because swings can come faster than expected especially if you get emotional. Once i notice that I am forcing myself to play instead of waiting for good spots, i just close everything.- uptrendfinancialsignal

My Simple Bankroll Management Gameplan (Tournaments)
Simple rules are always easier to obey than those complicated spreadsheet that will be even discouraging to open. I like the idea of enough buy-ins before moving up because tournaments can be very funny. Some people gain little profit and rush higher stakes immediately, that's where the problem is.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Did you ever use your poker money for other personal expenditure?
Yes, I have spent my bankroll before. Sometimes unexpected bill could show up, or maybe the fuel in your car finished or probably you are our of data all of a sudden. In that situation, your poker balance would look like an emergency fund. .- uptrendfinancialsignal

Do you implement stop-loss target in your poker online game?
If didn't set stop-loss limit,.I could be chasing losses because my mind would be whispering one more game and that's a dangerous trap. I learnt this in a hard way after turning one bad session into a complete disaster because i refused to log out. Since then, once i hit my limit, I'm done...- uptrendfinancialsignal

Is it possible to management your bankroll with bot?
App can help but it can't teach you discipline. Thats the truth. If you don't have any self control, even the smartest bankroll software will not stop you from breaking every rule. Tracking wins, losses and buy-ins automatically are useful, i wont lie, especially if you play often.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Do you ignore bankroll management, and take chances in bigger buy-ins when on a heater?
There are so many people that has fallen victim of this. You win today, and it gets you excited, next thing it's bigger buy-in because you feel that luck is on your side. For me, I don't trust that feeling again. One bad session can wipe all your money before you even blink.- uptrendfinancialsignal

How many buy-ins/chances should you give yourself before moving up stakes?
Moving up because you won one tournament is one of the fastest ways to give your money back. I prefer waiting until my bankroll can comfortably supports the next level and when I also feel confident with my decision making. Numbers matter but mindset matters too.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Do you set small or big goals for yourself when trying to build a bankroll?
I think setting small goals wins. Big targets sound exciting until you start to get frustrated after two losing sessions. It is better tto aim for steady progress. Funny enough thats when growth usually comes naturally.- uptrendfinancialsignal

What is a bitter lesson that you’ve learnt with bankroll?
The biggest lesson I learnt is hinking one lucky streak I had made me smarter overnight. That was a very costly mistake. After winning consistently for some sessions, my confidence got into another level and i started playing bigger than my bankroll could comfortably handle.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Set aside for poker?
I have to separate the money meant for poker from the money for expenses, otherwise there will be a big problem. Once your rent money and poker bankroll started mixing together, your emotions will start to control every hand you play.- uptrendfinancialsignal

At what point is your bankroll ‘too big’ for your current stake?
I don't really believe that my bankroll can become too big if the games still give you value. People are always rushing to move up because their ego starts whispering. They just need to calm down first. If you are consistently beating micro stakes and enjoying the sessions, nothing is wrong...- uptrendfinancialsignal

What Is the Safest Way to Manage Your Poker Bankroll?
I think you need discipline first, every other thing is secondary. The safest bankroll strategy doesn't even looks exciting because it involves saying no to games you can't really afford. So many players know the rules but they ignore them after one hot streak.- uptrendfinancialsignal
