Who am I?
I am a 28 year old guy from Belgrade, Serbia. Finished my studies couple of years ago by majoring in finances and banking on a private university, but never had any intentions on pursuing that career. My real love and occupation is folk dancing (you will understand in later phase of my blog). I love all kinds of card games and gambling as well.
Real life...
So, as I stated, I finished my studies but that doesn't have anything to do with my current occupation. I am employed as special events manager at Talija Art co., a folk dance group performing all sorts of stage arts and entertainment, besides national folk dances.
Why folk dancing? Of course it I was led to it by my parents who were dancers as well, but mainly as it was the only way to travel outside of my country during the 90s (wars, UN sanctions, poorness, etc.) I am so happy for that because I had the opportunity to travel almost all over the world, visit all the continents (except for the "Land down under", still in my plans in the next few years), and meet great people of different nationality, culture, religion, languages...
Sneak peak (jump to about 5th minute)
This is from the European handball championship 2012
Or just dances
Also from Belgrade Arena performing for Novak Djokovic's charity event
Before my current job, I used to do all kinds of part time jobs, mainly to prove to myself that I could do it, and to have money for beer ( I will mention beer a lot in my blog...).
I am happily (could it be written any other way) married, since last year, w/o kids at the moment...
Poker stuff...
As stated in the beginning, I love all kinds of card games, and gambling as well. When you travel with a folk group, sometimes you spend more than 20 hours in a bus, or a train, or any kind of transportation, and besides drinking, you need to find a way to "kill" some time or you will die of boredom, so we played cards, dices etc. As a kid what I knew about poker was simple 5 card draw, what beats what, and royal flush rulz... Bought a computer game Hoyle Casino and that was the first time I saw Texas, Omaha and Stud. At a friend`s house saw him playing holdem on Stars, and instantly downloaded the software and started playing for play money. Soon after got a facebook app Zynga poker, and played for fun there as well, and got into millions of cash in no time ( classic stuff 72o, all in, I will hit that deuce and win). Deposited something like 50$ on stars, and managed to survive for months, mainly playing 1$ or 2$ SnGs, and then BOOM got a TAF mail to join PS (some guys are giving away dollars for solving a 20Qs Quiz) solved it and got 50$ on Full Tilt and got addicted to full tilt academy, I think I learned a lot from those scammer pros. Started playing cash games, never bothered with NL2, NL5 jumped to NL10 with 5BI bankroll (what bankroll management, that's for fishes (how clueless I was??? (still am!!!))). Strangely, did not go busto for long, started opening 2,3,4 tables and built my bankroll to 200$ (still have that proud PrtScn).

And then came Rush poker and Rush week, managed to lose 150$ and win 50$ bonus (irony?) and until black Friday had about the same amount as when I started (but since I never deposited, I lost a lot of money due to not receiving any rakeback from Tilt). Took a chance at WH, then 770, then Cake, started depositing own money, got some from TaF as well, took a few chances at Stars, bought HM2, came back to Tilt recently.......... All in all my life time graph

I SUCK!!!!!
Will continue whining in future posts...
Other stuff...
Coming from Serbia, a small European country with approx 8.000.000 people, among which are Novak Djokovic, Nemanja Vidic, Vlade Divac, Milorad Cavic etc. sports is the only way to keep your mind off everyday politics. I am a HUGE sports fan, I follow all of the group sports, and some individual, and recreationaly I play football and volleyball with my friends. I am a Red Star fan, my favorite club, for which I care more than most people care about their close family, and, besides poker, they are the main reason why I lose my temper and go insane from time to time!
I like gambling and casinos, mainly card games, and slots, actually the only game I hate there is roulette, as I don't see any point in losing money over pure luck (losing money in poker is a different thing, it's because I suck, and other players are better, not because the rigged machine says so).
Also I started the Insanity workout a month ago, as I am coming to the age where folk dancing is not as easy as it looks, and I don't like when I run out of breath after 5mins of indoor football, so we'll see how it goes (already I am behind the schedule and skipping exercises, but I have a good progress anyway!)
As it is a custom I will post some goals life wise and poker wise, as soon as I figure them out (wasn't I supposed to do that before starting a blog, what the heck lets break some rulz!!!)
