    The importance of anonymity and privacy in cryptocurrency

    I don't think anonymity is only for shady moves. Privacy is a financial dignity to each and every one of us . I dont need third party analyzing every transaction I make. Yes, full anonymity attracts bad actors and that is what brings the regulation pressure we see around crypto. This is to...

    Do you think crypto/bitcoin will still be around in 10-20 years?

    Comparing Bitcoin to Terra collapse is not balanced. Terra is an experiment with shaky structure. Bitcoin have survived bans, crashes, FUD since 2013.

    What's the impact of cryptocurrency regulations on the market?

    Regulation is a double-edged sword. When CBN first came for crypto that year, the market panicked . I remember trying to move funds and my bank didn't allow me do that. But the twist is that the P2P volume increase after that.

    How do you handle a "downswing" that lasts more than 3 months?

    One deep run can change everything. Yes, it is very important to fix leaks, study more, move down if the bankroll is tight, but don't assume that long downswing automatically mean you are bad.

    Should dealers be allowed to give strategy advice to beginners?

    I was in a small cash game once and the dealer quietly told a newbie “maybe check here.” and that changed the dynamics of the game instantly. Dealers are supposed to be neutral and be professional. Helping beginners is good, but maybe after the hand, not in the middle of the game. The game is...

    How do you feel about "celebrity" players getting special treatment in rooms?

    I could remember a game where a celebrity entered and instantly, he got the best seat. That's a preferential treatment. Meanwhile, the regular players are in a queue after paying for membership.I understand the business angle, we all know that fame attracts a crowd, but fairness is also important.

    Should the "One Player to a Hand" rule be strictly enforced in casual home games?

    I just remembered one house game where three people were analysing one guy’s hand like a coaching session. These days, it seems people don't respect simple boundaries anymore. Even if it's a friendly game, fairness still matters. That's my thoughts though.

    What’s the polite way to leave a "hot" game when you’re winning big?

    I know a couple of players who hate when the winner stands up. But the rule is to protect your bankroll with no hesitation. If I'm winning big, I would rack up calmly and bounce. Afterall, we are all there to make money. No hard feelings. At least, that’s how it should be.

    Should casinos ban phones at the table entirely?

    I watched a game and one guy kept checking his phone with every hand. To me, that is a distraction. Banning phones fully might not work, but there should be restrictions during active hands. A total ban might not work.

    Should professional players be forced to wear "uniforms" or "patches"?

    I saw one clip where the pros were fully branded like it was a billboard and I just laughed. I think that's a marketing opportunity. I think the game is supposed to feel personal, not a trade fair exhibition. We just overpackage everything these days

    How do we attract more "recreational" players back to the game?

    I was on a poker app this afternoon and the atmosphere just feels too intense. Everything is strictly grinding and grinding. No room for vibes at all. I believe if newbies gets into it and get crushed in 20 minutes, they will never return again. I think more fun formats should be added, less...

    Is "tipping the dealer" mandatory, even after a small pot?

    So when I win a small pot, maybe just enough to cover for my data, tipping sometimes feels heavy. I respect the dealers, but players too are struggling. So, I tip when I can, but it's not mandatory.

    How do you handle a "hygiene issue" with another player at the table

    Sometimes, the table hygiene is so lacking and within 10 minutes, you would want to change the table. So, you have to know that basic hygiene is not a luxury. Bad body odour at the table is demeaning. I think the casino should try to enforce simple freshness policy. What do you think?

    General Strategy Are solvers ruining the fun of poker for recreational players?

    I was actually watching a livestream and the way some guys talk about GTO is very concerning. I think the human instinct is gradually disappearing. Even a small friendly cash game, people would still run to solvers. Poker used to be about reads and table talk. Now it’s charts and screenshots.

    Which business can i be able to run on autopilot?

    The word “autopilot” is almost mythological. I was so surprised when someone said the POS business runs itself. That's a white lie. Every business venture requires supervision

    General Strategy What's your go-to strategy for playing low-stakes cash games?

    People love to call too much. What I do is simple. Bluff less and bet your strong hands heavily. Also, don't try to impress anybody.

    General Strategy Do you have a pre-game routine before playing poker?

    My routine is a small stretch and a quick review of the last session I had. If I jump in without better preparation, I would play loose. I don't underestimate preparation at all.

    Best poker books that changed your game?

    The Mental Game of Poker hit me differently, no doubt . That book made me realize that poker is a long-term grind and it strictly needs discipline.

    What's the most epic poker comeback you've witnessed?

    I saw a guy come back from 2bb stack once. The tournament was almost done and everybody has already counted him out. He doubled three times and that was it.

    How Do You Reset After a Brutal Session?

    Bad beat can be a pain in the ass. Sometimes you just have to take a walk away for a while untill you are more composed to play again. You can't jump straight back into tables with anger.
