I know this because I had Serbian work collegues... ♠_biggrin:
Top dish we call Pogacica and is sold in every bakery even in super markets - it is very famous and popular.
2nd dish looks like old school cookie for Saints day celebrations or such. There is no particular name for it, at least I can't think of it

yep i think it is
i make it every Christmas, it is so easy to make and it so delicious 
All the food talk is making me think of carbs and candy. STOP IT !
Can't wait to train hard, this is too tempting and hard to resist without training.
Happy Easter all!
Spend time in peace, love and harmony.
Thanks for participating, reading and following the blog.
Since its Easter and I will very likely play 0 poker today, I decided to complete BR challenge update now.
Week 3 of BR Challenge:
Starting BR: 2910$
Current BR: 4500$ (+273.62$ between previous update and now)
Target BR: 25000$
Swings in the week and very low volume. At one point was down to 4100$ or so and then won twice 10x and adjusted my SB in HU for most of the parts excellent and edges were there. 110 cEV today, 59 cEV since beginning of the BR challenge which is right where I was setting it to be as a target for whole 2017!
BTW, cashed out some more money, this 4500$ is BR now as I find it easiest to deal with as starting BR while in deal with Rocky. When we finish deal I will likely move money different ways (for starters Phuketinho complete BR for 7s and then remaining rents for 2017).
Next week will be super low grind wise. Friend is arriving today to Nis, will spend time with him until 18th. On 20th I leave for Sofia, coming back on 23rd or so. So only poker activities will be coaching Phuketinho, working with Rocky on HH reviews and working on my own in PIO saving ranges for SB and BB for all different types of scenarios (SRP, Limp, 3bnai IP and OOP).
Look forward to those study sessions are revelations that come from it.
Enjoy your Easter holidays on and off the tables.

CCCC, old school, new school, it's looks to me like "gužvara". In Croatia "gužvara" with walnut is called "orahnjača" and with poppy "makovnjača" but generally it's "gužvara".
Food junkies everywhere!
Prim, thanks and I hope you had a great Easter!
Past 2 days for me went like I planed. Very little to no poker (if you count sweat session with Phuketinho grind then I did grind) Very happy that my friend Cune came to Nis and we spent almost whole day together. Also got a chance to see him last night more in a low key way where we just went for beer and to eat something. Night when the Easter was happening, there were 8-9 of us that went to my favorite coffee place and we stayed there several hours and had lots of laugh - great times. Look forward seeing my friend Cune in the future soon.
In the near future, lots of things happening. Besides Sofia on 20th now which is huge deal since I will meet in person my friend troll and Rocky crusher, I will later in May host my 2 Bulgarian friends that are very good friends of mine AKA Gavra and Kurkkie + my friend troll will also visit me for couple of days.
So lots of poker but non poker related activities. Today plan is to save ranges IP and OOP for 8 different scenarios total for 1 stack depth at least. Will grind later for 2 to 3 hours and watch some games, there is Partizan game playing SNS United aka Crvena Zvezda starting at 17:30. Also, expecting to hear from student about guitar lesson today at 14:30. Last but not least, will do session with Rocky today, half HH review half live grind.
Might place a bet today for Serbian Super League game(s) but I doubt it - I still feel in relax state of holiday/vacation mode no need to go for those edges now with this BR.
Enjoy your April on and off the tables!
Hi IvicaIliev ! Very nice and interesting blog !
I'm trying to get good at spins too. Hope reading your thread will help me maximizing my EV 
By the way, are you still streaming on twitch? I followed you a week or two ago and still didn't catch you online yet. I'm really looking forward to it. Especially hand history reviews and study sessions since I don't really know how to do it for myself. If you are still streaming, do you have some kind of schedule? I live in Canada, I hope it won't be too hard to catch you with the time offset.

Hi krugger3000!
Thanks for checking out the blog and glad you find it of value for yourself.
I have paused Twitching for time being because of 3 main reasons:
- I now play on my desktop where I don't have the same setup for Twitching. Lack of proper equipment stopping me to Twitch.
- I have switched from 4 tables to 2 and to 3 and now back to 4. Waiting to do steady 4 tabling and continue streaming from then on as hourly on 2 vs 3 vs 4 tables is very different. Now I am at the level where I can continue streaming with current 4 tabling. I also miss Twitching HH reviews so I will do that as well in the future.
- I am in the profit sharing deal where I am using different HUDs which I prefer not to share publicly. So need to figure out how to cover those HUDs when Twitching 1st before I resume 4 tabling on Twitch.
I will update Twitch schedule here on blog after 15th of May when I finish profit sharing deal with my friend Rocky. Until then there will be no Twitching.
In the meanwhile, since you are interested in becoming better at Spins, feel free to ask me questions here in the blog. I always try to be of help to others but keep in mind that I can't give you all the answers in the world but the rather will guide you how to figure out solutions on your own as this will make you better poker player in the long run.
All the best to you and say hi to Canada!
Ok I understand now. I'll watch your streams when you get back to it then.
I don't know what streaming/Recording software you are using but I know there is a function in obs studio (it's free btw) where you can select what is recorded/streamed : the whole screen, selected parts of the screen, or specific software windows. I guess you can create a custom scene filming only what you want to show to your viewers. That kind of feature should be in most of the other programs too but that's the only one I know.
I also wish you all the best and luck of course! I hope you'll reach your goals. Your commitment to hard work and your success are very inspiring and motivating.

Great stuff!
I also use OBS Studio and when I was Twitching on my laptop, was setting scenes with different text, background images and such.
There is 2 troubling things:
- On desktop I don't have audio device to use. In other words, no head set for such streaming. The way to surpass that is to use Team Viewer to access from laptop my desktop, still stream on laptop using internal microphone and audience would be able to see my desktop grind in such way. A bit of a hustle but doable certainly. 2nd option is to buy just some awesome headset with mic and set it all up from scratch on desktop. Not feeling super happy when it comes to investing such thing because its not on top of my priorities in life right now but by 15th of May I may end up doing that anyways.
- 2nd and more troubling spot is covering HUD. MY current HUDs for 3 way and HU cover around 85% or so of table. So in order to stream with HUD covered, people would likely just see pot size, multiplier, bet slider and my nickname with number of chips. Again, doable to find way around it but currently can't think of a nice way how to make that estetically pleasing for viewers without too much hustle.
I have watched streams from guys who play 100s and they never use HUD (or at least you can't see it) when they stream. I definitely don't plan to stream without HUDs as that is just dropping massive edges both pre and post flop. So until that is sorted, Twitching is on pause. Will talk to a friend of mine, elpsycho and see if we can sort something out. I may even do Twitch stream from laptop doing some HH review from Sofia in next 3 days. Will let you know how it all goes!
Thank you for your good luck vibes! It is great to hear that you will take on road at Spins. It is very profitable game to play and considering that poker will eventually come back in USA and join traffic with rest of the world (my expectation in next 4 years), it will be even more profitable to play this format as your hourly will be even greater down the road.
I am doing very well so far in 2017, biggest accomplishment is not financial targets surpassed but rather how many edges I discovered, applied, 2 major leaks covered (SB 3 way and BB in HU) and super improved, other edges gathered (BB 3 way) and then more work on range vs range post flop + HU game plan adjusting and readjusting (Still going on and will happen in months to come for sure until I reach point of unexploitability for any pre flop spot!!!). So with all that in mind, it is going very well, there is 8 more months left in the year, tons of time to make a lot of money but also and more importantly to keep pushing studying edges and improving cEV. If I am now at 30ish $ post RB hourly 4 tabling, don't see any reason why I can't hit 35$ then 40$ or more by the end of 2017. Those are my inner hopes but I am taking each day week and month with gratefulness - happy to be where I am and where I am heading the way I am heading.
Enjoy your Spin road on and off the tables!
For all blog readers that still wonder who the Ivica Iliev is, here is the video for you!
3rd guy from the left or 2nd guy from the right. He is currently Sports Director of Football Club Partizan Belgrade. Some would argue that he is one of the best directors we had in clubs history. Yesterday we played derby match vs Zvezda and won 3-1 away. Players that scored 3 goals for us came directly thanks to Ivica Iliev and his football knowledge. I mentioned in the past that he was also super important player in recent history of Partizan Belgrade. Scoring vital away goal vs Newcastle United for overtime and then penalties which we passed for Champion League group stage. After that he also assisted 1 goal out of total 4 vs Anderlecht (team we also beat on penalties) and from his cross came own goal in Belgrade (so 2 out of 4 goals vs Anderlecht direct responsibility).
He is the guy you see on my Poker Strategy as well as Poker Stars avatar. The man, the legend, the myth.

Thanks for the tip. Followed the link which brought me on 2p2 where they said that hiding HUD is not possible on WIN10 which I happen to have on both computers. Kinda misleading info. Will dig deeper into it. Thanks anyways!
I don't have obs on my personal laptop but I'll give it a look as soon as I get back to my work desktop pc. I'm almost 99% positive you can filter out some softwares and don't record them 
That would be by far the easiest solution, rather than trying to hide them with something else.
I can set-up your stream in a way that HUD won't be seen and help you with everything stream related for free.
or you know if you want to help back you can couch me 1 hour for beating 0.25$ spins
