We already wrote about it in a previous post: Bencb789 has 2 new coaches in his team, “Mariano5” aka Michael and “Toruk Macto” aka Tomy.
Both are quite new to being a coach themselves, as they started off as students in our SNG program at BPC. Today we want to introduce you to “Toruk Macto” aka Tomy.
How did you actually start playing poker?
When I was in college some of my fellow students were playing poker and when I saw them playing I also wanted to try.
Interesting is that I never deposited a single dollar on any site. I just started on Pokerstars playing for play money. Over time they send me 2$ (!) and they said that I’m ready for real money play :).
Of course, I was really lucky that I did not bust, but somehow I managed to hold on and build my bankroll to 3k in a year or so. That was the beginning of my poker career.
Why did you decide to join our team?
How has this improved your game so far and your results?
Yes, I’m from Slovenia and I live in a small city named Trbovlje. Slovenia is a very beautiful country, we have the seaside and mountains just like 2 hours of driving away. You can spend a lot of time in nature if you love the nature.
In my free time I am doing some sports, I like to run, play tennis and martial arts.
What is your motivation for the daily hours you are putting in? Any advice for others?
I want to get better every day and that motivates me a lot.
It’s also important that you know that poker is not a sprint, specially sng hyper’s where variance can be big and brutal.
It’s a long process with ups and downs but if you have a clear goal you can achieve it. Just work hard!
Do you have a favorite hand or poker moment to share with the community?
My favorite hand is of course AA 🙂
To conclude I just want to say that, if you are serious about poker, then find a good coach, be focused on your progress and patient – results will come after hard work, for sure 🙂
Thanks, Tomy!
