Hi everybody,
I'm from Belgrade, Serbia and I've decided to start my own blog.
Let me start with some graphs and my career since I am a Poker strategy member.

Well as you can see I am a winning player since I have joined Poker strategy. I do well in tournaments, and I have managed to take my BR up to over 1k.
On the other hand I am bad in CG, I have lost entire RB (well much of the RB came from CG anyway), first deposit bonus and some of tourney winning in CG. All tough I was somewhere unlucky in CG, my game is still bad, and I really want to improve it.
Unfortunately, the biggest lose in CG came when I became more serious about my poker and gave a shot in NL25 SH. I have played solid on that stake and my EV line is actually around 3.0 BB/100 hand, but I am down 18 BI at NL25 SH.
Now I will stick NL10 Rush (will explain later why)
Also I want to say that my entire BR is based on tourney winnings, all though I have made deposit of 100$ (when my BR was on around 400$, from 50$ starting capital), but I had one withdraw of 250$.
Why blog?
Well, two months ago (after second downswing in tournaments) I've decided to get more serious about my poker. You can say I was pretty recreational player before that. So now when my BR is over 1k I think blog will help me to keep better track of game, thoughts and emotions.
Also, I will set some goals from now on and I will keep track here of the progress.
Goals
1* Take BR up to 2k in next two months
2* Learn and play CG
1* I will try do this by playing S'n'Gs and MTTs as my main game (mostly rush tournaments, cause I don't have time for very long sessions and I'm doing well in these)
2* As have mentioned before I will play NL10 Rush. Why? Well I still play CG (all though I suck) cause several reasons:
- playing CG improves my tourney play (at least I think so)
- I will never be good enough player if can't beat at least lower and middle limits at CG
- collecting FTP that I can exchange for tournament tickets
- maintaining Iron man status so I can receive bonuses and medals (I can exchange for tickets to)
- will play rush cause of lack of time
- NL10 rather than NL25 (can play according to my BR) cause I'm not confident enough in my CG skills.
Poker before and outside PS
I've first started with poker a year and a half ago when a friend of mine invited me to a home game and I liked it. Well before that I watched it couple of times on TV, but I didn't really know nothing about. We still play home game almost every week (we can say it is NL10, when exchange local currency to USD). I don't really have exact track of home game result but I think I'm up around 50 BI. (from now on I will keep track of it here)
Also, from time to time I play in some local poker clubs. I have played several tourneys (few of them were freerolls) and my biggest successes are 5th place out of 54 entrants, in 20$ bi tourney, for 90$ cash out, and 3rd place out of 40 entrants in one freeroll (I have won card shuffler and tournament ticket, 20$ BI). All in all I'm u about 100$ up playing tourneys in poker clubs and about break even in CG. (don't have exact track but from now on I will keep track of it here)
Also I gave a shot at online poker before Poker strategy. I've deposited 50$ on LuckyAcePoker and PokerStars each, played some S'n'Gs, withdraw same amount I've deposited. So, all in all I've lost bonuses.
So, I think it is fair of me to say that I didn't know much about poker before I found out about Poker strategy. (most of the successes in live game, came after I became a member)
Today
Today I've played one session of NL10 Rush (650 hands, two tables), and I am up two BI. My profit and EV lines are at the same level, so I didn't receive or give big bad beats.
Also, I will play some tourneys later. (will post results)
S this is it for the start. Sorry if this post is too long (it is first, it will be shorter in the future), and if my English is bad.
Good luck everybody!
