New beginnings

What a blast. I decided to re-revive my blog after more than two years of inactivity. There are couple of reasons for it as I'm starting a live stream on twitch ( http://www.twitch.tv/aca_90 ), and another one is that I'm making a new challenge. During two years of inactivity, it has been a real roller coaster poker-wise and life-wise for me. Life-wise I can't cry a lot since it's been fun rude most of the time. I sailed into relationship with my best friend, but it didn't go too well because it seemed like we're not made for each other + she didn't like what I was doing for living (probably the main reason). We've been hanging around for almost a year, and then broke up after which I had real problems that have affected to both my poker career and mental attitude. The downswing at poker (not really sure if it was downswing or just bad plays) started and it lasted for almost 6 months. As they would say, it was only time that needed to get over it. A

Blog reincarnation! How did I came back from the mental and poker downswing

Jeez, it's been a long time! Over a year and a half I've been going up and down with my poker game. I'll try to remember the most important thing which occurred during that time. Let's see. After big mindset problems after I came back from Cyprus back in September 2013, I was trying so hard to get myself back. I tried with a pause - didn't help a lot, I tried with more play time - didn't help at all. The only bright thing happened close afterwards was winning a satellite for Danube Poker Masters Main event and Highroller event held on October '13, but it didn't go well either. After months of thoughts what I should do, I finally decided. Locking down cash game was truly a bliss for myself and my bankroll. I totally switched to tournaments (not really much of a choice at PlanetWin365 room, but still fine). It was like end of the January 2014. Somehow, things started to go really good when I was close to busto. I got a call from a friend asking me if I

WPT Cyprus and bad cashgame run

Hello everyone, again :) Wow, it's been a long time since I've been writing, there are lots of things to talk about. It's kind of hard to get back there to August and correctly write about everything, but I'll give my best. WPT Kyrenia - Cyprus After successfully completed 5k August challenge, I got a call from a friend telling me that he would share his hotel room with me. Things already went better than expected. I bought a plane ticket, but sadly, from Sofia to Larnaca (which is on Greek side of Cyprus). Irresponsible, as I am, I didn't google anything about Cyprus. After I landed there, things got complicated. First, I didn't even know where the Hotel & Casino were, so I asked the taxi driver. He actually told me that it was on the other side of the island and that there is no direct transfer there, except taxi. I was curious to see if he was lying or not, and then googled it. He was actually not lying, so I had to pay 100e to go from Larnaca to

UMF, an August challenge and future plans

Alright folks, After a long time of no posts, I decided to write a new one. The post will feature some interesting or less interesting things :) Firstly, I finally decided what am I going to do with my life. I'll quit my faculty (sadly, I really liked professors and people around me there) to start a little business with my close friends. Also, I'll definitely continue to play poker professionally because that's by far the best 'job' I could imagine. Ultra Music Festival - Split and Hvar, Croatia There are some things in my life that I simply have to do. One of them is to go to Ultra Music Festival, and luckily, for the first time since they started the project, they came to European land, to our neighbour's country - Croatia. Right after I heard about it, I bought ticket for me, then my room mate was added to the group, his brother, our best friends and another friend who we met few days before the start of the journey. Split seems to be very

Eureka Poker Tour and something more

Hello to all the readers, Actually, this post will feature another two big successes at poker in May. 1) I managed to cash at the biggest tournament I've played so far 2) I managed to complete my 10k challenge in no time :) 10k Challenge As you could read in the previous post, I challenged myself to make 10k euro profit until the end of July. The challenge started on the May the 1st. I went for live cash games in Grand Casino Belgrade. The game running was 2/5. I made like 2k profit on that game in 2 days. Then The Danube Poker Masters was announced. I played all 4 events: 200e side event, 500e main event, 150e bounty event and 1100e highroller event. Unfortunately I cashed only at the side event for 900e. On the main event I was busted by Eros Nastasi who played pretty f*cking awesome hands versus me! In the bounty event I was knocked out with QQ versus Greek player who called with AJ, of course A on the flop (lucky Greeks lol). On the Highroller event I played only dozen

Tana Delle Tigri (Nova Gorica) + new challenge!

Hello dear followers, Recently, after that huge up & down I mentioned in last post, I was about to take a small break from poker. I went to my hometown, had a lot of fun with good old friends, had some relaxing time in Grza, and while we were there, I got myself a phone call from my friend Loncar asking me if I'm willing to go to Tana Delle Tigre tournament in Nova Gorica, Slovenia. I called my friend from faculty asking if we had any tests, and after I was told we hadn't, I knew I was going to that tournament. The tournament was held from 24.-26. April. Beautiful lake of Grza The trip started, and I found myself in the car with Loncar and his wife. It was kinda annoying to me, but after I've met Ceca (his wife), I was pretty much okay with it. After 6 hours of traveling, we were in hotel Perla in Nova Gorica. The manager the managed us a special discount for rooms and I was happy about it. The tournament was starting at 21h, and we arrived at 19h. I took a show

Bulgarian Poker Tour and a huge up & down

Слика
Greetings followers, The day after I came back from Malta, a friend of mine, Igor Loncar, asked me if I was willing to go to Bulgarian Poker Tour. I agreed instantly, although I don't think it was a good decision. I had a party the day before we started our trip, and managed to rest only 1 hour. In the car there were few more friends of ours, so the trip didn't go too bad but I couldn't sleep either. We arrived in Pravets, small but beautiful village near Sofia, and got our rooms. RIU Pravets Resort I liked the hotel a lot even tho I didn't have the time to enjoy all of its possibilities. We had the time just to take off our baggage and to get down for the tournament. Right from the start I was feeling tired, but of course, I was going to do my best. The tournament has started and I was happy to play on the table next to the big windows so I could see the day brightness which would keep me awake as long as possible.  Players on the table weren't so
