| easy to do when you have millions to fall back on. but I do like this guy - quite unique poker player but to play so many poker games a year - don't know how you would have time to soak in the culture

| blah blah- the real story is simple... won millions, lost millions, borrowed more- lost it again, had to sell the house and backpack was the only thing that was left... needed some story to keep pride, so contacted stars pr team and since he generated more than $1 to them in the form of rake, pr team did their best and here we have a homeless poker millionaire

| He does not really the type of person I would describe as "homeless" but it sounds like he has a great life while wandering around the world playing poker when he wants to and without any of the worries or bills which comes with looking after a home.

| Werewolf1992 | 22/01/2015 17:52:12 GMT |
I can't live like he,but is he likes it.  He is not like homeless, but it is true that he didn't have home. Or his home is the world. Sorry for bad English.

sorry if i offend anybody
all i see is attention seeker
so you have millions and travel to different countries to play tournaments
and you sleep in the street ?
is being homeless that means you get closer to the different cultures ?
can't you live in a house and learn about the countries you visit ?

No, he obviously has a home, just doesn't own a place to begin with. Guess what, I don't have a single friggin' flat or condo on my name, not even a tiny house nor an RV yet I have a home.
But backpacking in South-East Asia 4 a year would cost you around 10k or even less so it's not like he is living on the street.

| Starting a life out of ones backpack when being a poker player, that earned millions is an absolutely great thing. No one should ever say again, that poker players are not interesting persomalities. This example proofs the opposite.

| What a great thing to do and i am very envious of him. imagine being able to just get up and go anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. Good luck to him and i hope he does really well

| ''Couch surfing millionaire'',made the mainstream media last week, but not for his achievements on the felt. It's the lifestyle Jaka leads away from the table and his perspective on money that piqued CNN's interest.

| Beyond his wealth, it is a bit easier to embrace this lifestyle as a 29-year-old bachelor with no kids. It's extremely difficult to maintain this free-spirited mentality when you've settled down

His having a good time of in is life, is enjoying life at the fullish, for some people have money, is happines, others money is a way to do things that not can, and other money is just a material that is there but is not the first thing to use or to see, first came another things, like enjoy life, meditation, sport, family, childrens, and any more things that the world provides to you, he spoted a thing that make him happy, its ok.
GG for life

Homeless but full of money and decided to live another way. Travelling around the world wit a back pack no problem.
He can pay wathever he wants they never said that he is sleeping in the street and not having any food.
Just a differend kind ov living if i was younger with is money and poker winning i would have no problem not having a house and live in hotel since you are always on the road.

@The Homeless Poker Millionaire
Although he has won over eight million dollars playing poker tournaments ( congratulations for the winnings )
In addition, he began avoiding expensive hotels to get closer to the different cultures ( he doesnt need home, when you want to go around the world while playing poker , you dont need hhome to pay taxes etc).

Money and fame can bring out the worst in people. Luckily, there are those who can handle both superbly in the poker world as we know it. Faraz Jaka is a living proof of that!
