Last movie that you watched?
The last movie I watched is one action film on netflix after work. I honestly started because I wanted to relax but it seems the electricity provider had other plans.

How do you stay patient during card dead stretches?
Card dead stretches can be very frustrating. Folding hands after a hand can tempt you to force some actions. That's where many mistakes actually started from. I just remind myself that patience is actually part of the game, it's not punishment at all.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Do you keep a spreadsheet of your wins and losses?
I started doing it late but it opened my eyes. Before, I honestly believed i was winning more than i actually was. Your memory can deceive you in that regard. When I started entering everything on a spreadsheet, that's when I saw reality. All the small losses i ignored had added up quietly.- uptrendfinancialsignal

Does a "cold" dealer ever make you leave the table?

Is Baccarat a game of skill or just a coin flip?
No matter how people argue this, I still believe baccarat looks mostly like a luck to me.

I've seen some persons celebrate one hot streak today then tomorrow everything...- uptrendfinancialsignal

How do you prepare mentally before a session?
I can't just open tables immediately. My brain doesn't work like that at all. I normally relax a little check if the network is stable, clear all sorts of distractions then maybe listen to quiet music before playing.- uptrendfinancialsignal

What do you think about weight cut in MMA?
The weight cutting is a thing of concern to be honest. Watching some fighters during weigh-ins is even scary. Their faces are dry and their body is weak. The current system needs serious adjustment. people shouldn't nearly collapse just because of weight advantage.- uptrendfinancialsignal
