I do not have a personal coach so the only training that I got was during the three seasons of Poker Sports League (PSL). I mostly watch tutorials and hand review videos online. Recently, I started using softwares like ICMizer and Holdem Resources Calculator (HRC).

I have always maintained a good balance between work and poker.

What is your bankroll management like?

You should never play with money you can’t afford to lose.
