The Wild Hungarian girl's life change for poker

The Wild Hungarian girl's life change for poker

The Wild Hungarian's story 😀

I have never written a blog before also never tried to play poker so why not now?? 😀

I'm as my favorite person describes me a "Wild" 26 years old Hungarian girl far from my natural habitat by playing poker. 😀

So why did I start it? Here is my story.
/ I am warning you that my sense of humor is very unique which means basically just I like it. /

Everything started at this summer. I am in a lucky position cause I have met with the best people ever who became my friends. They are my boyfriend's friends so now mine too, period . 😀 We had an amazing summer with awesome festivals and holidays and endless parties.

Picture of almost everybody:


As my boyfriend they are all poker players and to tell the truth they are very very good poker players. At all the summer they were grinding at our place at least every Sunday but usually 2-3 times a week so I was next to them all the time when they played. I started to think about how cool that would be if I would also make money when I'm hanging around them watching them playing poker so we talked about it with my boyfriend and after some weeks of thinking we decided that I will quit my job cause it was 40 hours a week so I never had time for anything else next to that job.
The other fact is that other people are paying for professional poker players to teach them how to play poker and my boyfriend is an actual professional poker player so ...? I just felt like there's a reason why all these people came into my life so I listened to my intuition which kept saying: do it!

...so now ALL my time is about poker, learning poker, playing poker, talking about poker and now writing about poker. 😀

When I first experienced that I don't make any income cause I quit my job was pretty miserable. I knew I will not be able to make money for a while...
I felt like I'm not an important useful person cause before the fact that I made money was a kind of result of my every days. And now it stopped to exist.
Honestly it really gave me hard times. I extremely do miss making money.
But after numerous of conversations I could get to that level where I truly understood where I am now. I'm in that level where I just invest in myself and I keep studying and practicing.

When I started to play for real money and the first time I was running bad (I prefer to say variance was with a negative effect on me) I reacted emotionally. Nothing extreme, I just got super sad and lost my motivation.
I think this happens with every single poker player at the very beginnings. I needed also not just one deeper conversation to understand what should I feel and how a poker player feels and reacts.

1# A poker player doesn't feel. (nice huh?)
2# A poker player is not result orientated but mistake orientated.
3# If you wanna count something count the VPPs 😀
4# You can not miss out the everyday studying.
5# Poker challenges your whole personality. You win only if you are wise (and patient in long tournaments).
6# "It's like trying to lift a big weight. You need to build up to it." 😀

That's what I know now.
I both try to improve mentally as with the strategy of my game, hard to decide which is more difficult. 😀

Where I am now in poker? At the very start, lowest stake in 6max hyper turbo SNG. Btw today I played my first woman tournament but I will talk about it next time!

Thank you for being a part of my poker journey and special thanks for the idea to write a blog with the helping advices to PatriQ 😉 Leon, Daniel, Adam, Konrad, and a GIANT HUGE GLORIOUS THANK FOR MY BOYFRIEND: JAMES <3
