Two years ago, I fell in love with Texas Hold’em Poker playing at home with my friends. I became extremely interested in poker and soon became more familiar with this fascinating card game. In no time at all, I ended up playing live poker tournaments, just in Zagreb to start with, but very soon all over Croatia. I even started reading books and used every opportunity to learn as much as I possibly could about THP.

I have taken the experiences that I acquired playing local tournaments into international tournaments, where I have achieved some fine results. I made my debut in the 2010 Unibet Open in Budapest, where I was in the top 100 out of more than 400 players. The second major international tournament that I took part in was in Split on the Croatian Poker Tour (CPT), and it was there that I won the Ladies Event.

As a result of winning this tournament, I became the promoter for ladies poker and the only celebrity actively playing Texas Hold’em.  Since then, I have been organising and promoting ladies poker tournaments in Croatia, in addition to hosting the television show “Poker Puls”, the first ever poker program in Croatia.
