Hello guys, let me first say that I have only learned English in school, and by watching cartoons as a kid on Cartoon Network, and then improved it by watching movies & tv series, but I’m pretty sure that everyone will understand what I want to say. Maybe not the perfect spelling and grammar, but I will try my best!
Anyway my name is Adis and I’m coming from Bosnia & Herzegovina, a small country in Europe. I’m 21 and I’m a student. At the moment I’m second year on IT faculty, so we learn many stuff about programming and other “information technology” stuff. It’s not easy, especially when you are playing poker every day, so you can’t concentrate normally neither on programming or poker. So yeah that sucks, and I’m trying to find a solution for that, I think I did, but we will see. I’m a big football (soccer) fan of FK Željezničar, from Sarajevo, I’m the guy that never misses a game, that is always standing up and cheering. I visited some of European cities with my team, Maribor (Slovenia) , Prague & Plzen (Czech Republic), Skopje (Macedonia), etc… Last year I almost stopped going to any of the games when I got in situation where I thought that I will die. I was laying down on ground, with hundreds of people running over me, and then really beaten up by the cops. Well I guess I survived, since I’m writing this blog
, or I died and continued in some other parallel universe.
I never thought that I will play poker for living. My dad played poker before 30,40 years, with local mafia guys. In those times you were not able to just win money and leave the cash game, otherwise they would beat you and take your money. My dad used to hide every winning in some of his pockets, and that was his way to run away in those spots. That wasn’t a holdem that he was playing, it was a 5 card draw game, but he never even thought me that. So in 2012, a local Bosnian gambling site (wwin.eu) made a poker software that was giving out plenty of free rolls with added 10,20,50,100€ prizes. At that time I was living with my mom (still am) and she would give me one or two euros every other day. Of course I didn’t like the process of me begging for her money, so I was trying my best to make any money. Bosnia is really poor country(except for the politicians) and there are many guys that are working really hard for 5-10€ (five to ten, yes!) per day(yea for day, not per hour), so I was really happy even for the fact that I could earn something by only sitting in front of the computer. At that time i didn’t even knew the basics, so i wondered how come did JJ beat my Q-10, on Q-J-Q-4-8, and I’m still wondering. LOL, I’m joking obviously. I figured out that if I study a little bit more about the game I would have higher chances of winning more. So I started reading, studying, watching videos… In the first month of August in 2012 i earned about 150€, and I almost spent it all on food, drinks and table tennis. I was so excited, first time earning some real money! Anyway I stopped playing there because its one of those actually really rigged sites (yeah it was really rigged). Decided to move to PokerStars with my first deposit of 10$. It was a big change for me, especially after playing on the rigged site, where if you don’t have at least A-high flush, you are no good. Went broke few times with my first deposits of 10$, and when I was about to quit I managed to hit my first bigger mtt score for 82$. I decided to cash out most of my money, and started playing 2,20$ HU 4man sngs on FTP, with 25$. Step by step, built my bankroll first to 200, then to 500$, which allowed me to play higher hu sngs, and tournaments. Last year I was mostly playing 15 $ hu sngs, and some mtts. Few months ago, I managed to hit my biggest mtt, runner up on The Big 16,50 for almost 6k!
Biggest problem with me is that I’m really lazy! Sometimes I use to play one or more 15$ HU sngs, win maybe 15-30$, be satisfied with it, and just go out to spend it. When you play one day like that, it’s OK, but when you do it every other day, then you know that you need a change.
My friend that is also playing hu sngs(he is not lazy as I’m) told me about BPC, how his friend (Maestro) managed to earn 10k playing hu cash in month December. When I heard about him and about BPC I just knew that BPC is right thing for me. BPC will destroy my laziness, and will help me to earn a lot of money.
These are my graphs from PokerStars and FTP:
I always told my friends, I’m going to be a millionaire, eventually. OK, you can laugh, but I will. I’m not sure how, poker, programming, or something else, but I will! Did any of you guys watch old UK tv series called “Only fools and horses”? If you didn’t you should! Anyway it’s a story about two poor brothers that are working on market. Their main motto was “This time next year we’ll be a millionaires! ” They did eventually. Yeah it is only a tv series, but they thought me that its only important to have a dream, work hard on it, and dream will sooner or later become a reality!
So yeah, this time next year, I’ll be a millionaire!
