Birthday present from Pokerstars
There I was playin 0,05/0,10 USD NLHE and was keeping my hope alive to get to milestone hand on my Bday. Odds of that happening are not big. Then this happened
30 years young
So today is that magical day when I turn 30. I sence that according to real world I should feel old. So happy that I dont´t consider living in real world.
My loving husband keeps also feeding my illusion about my eternal youth, by telling me that I don´t look day older than 18. What a sweet liar he is.
So I have concluded that I celebrate my 18th birthday again and again.

WBCOOP
So here we go, here is the list of first WBCOOP tournaments I have registered. I have a good feeling about seats to tournaments coming my way.
This is how baby Talysha reacted to the news. I can´t determine is that a happy grin or just sneaky grin saying "My mommy is gonna win" ???
Will keep updating with results here. Good and bad!

My best moments in www.pokerstars.com
When start talking about best moment in my so far short poker "career", would be easy to say my 120 USD win in 2.20 usd tournament. But for me best moments actually so far have come from meeting new friends who share love for this amazing game. I have met many of them in tables in pokerstars and also in twitter by following players who play professionally in pokerstars. Poker community is actually amazing mixture of amaing people from all walks of life. Have talked with professionals and beginners and they all share one thing, they love to play poker.
But if we go beyond people I have met and actually talk about best single moment while playing in pokerstars it must be that 2.20 tournament with winning 120 $. Close second would be February 13 on 3.30 $ tournament when everything was going wrong with bad beats and ofcourse some bad playing hehe. When there was 198 players left I think my placing was 196 with under 1000 chips stack ( not sure if it was 375 chips), 15 minutes later I was sitting with 100 000 chips and started to believe that big tournament win could be possible. Ended up in place 28 with 27 $. After all trouble and big downswing in chips that was truly amazing feeling.
In 3rd place I would rank my first SundayStorm. did not win anything or did not do a really deep run, but just the pure exitement of bigger buy-in tournament (wasn´t able to win ticket). I found athmosphere quite fun and exiting. Big factor for this must have been many Pros playing and offcourse Rafael Nadal also being on the field of players. Quality of play was somewhat better than I have gotten used to but I think biggest hurdle for me was that I kept thinking that big buy-in and was stressing to get to the money. Didn´t go out with bad hand, had AQ and flop was Q 7 4 went all-in and faced set of fours.
But to go back to topic I talked before about people I have met and talked to are true treasure of pokerstars. Poker truly knows no boundaries between continents, gender or race and that is truly a beautiful thing. So many fulltime poker Pros actually take time to talk to you and make you feel that you really matter even tho you are complete beginner. These Professionals are truly great ambassadors of poker and also for Pokerstars. Just to mention one in twitter is Dale Philip who has allways time to answer guestions and makes you feel that you really are part of poker community. You can find him in twitter as @Daleroxxu.
To conlude my amazing moment in Pokerstar would be the day I found the site and was encouraged my my husband to play this amazing game. All moments after that all reflect to that moment in beginning that made the whole journey in poker possible for me.
So just want to say thank you to Pokerstars and all poker players around the world

Balancing time between motherhood and poker
My poker playing started at December of 2012. Often I had wondered about extra income and great hobby. My husband actually encouraged me for poker, he loves to play himself too.
On february 17th 2013 our little babygirl Talysha was born and I started wondering is poker still possible for me. Thankfully I found out answer real fast, with support of husband playing poker even as mother of newborn is possible. Offcourse compromising anything with baby is not option, that is where husband steps in. he loves to take care of baby too and when it is feeding time he takes care of my tables (allways hope he wont loose my money). Obviously daily gametime is limited so need to play what feels good and profitable.
I know many might think it is selfish to play poker when you are mother of newborn. I believe that you can balance your hobbies and motherhood in efficient and fun way.
