The dependence of magnetization on magnetic field M(H) was measured for textured BSCCO samples for H || c, H || ab at different temperatures. Inclusion of the pinning parameter in the Valkov-Khrustalev model [V.V. Valkov, B.P. Khrustalev, JETP 80 (19
95) 680] allowed to describe successfully the asymmetric M(H) dependencies. The temperature and magnetic field dependencies of critical current and pinning parameter for H || c and H || ab were estimated.
