Hello, some of you may know me not by David (my real name) but as naranjito, an ex brood war player from Peru.
My motivation in creating this blog is to keep track of my success/failure and to know if I'm really cut off to be a professional poker player (that's my main motivation, although very improbable, but I'm gonna try).
My goal is to sustain myself with something that I really like to do, and not what I must do (boring works, etc). Although my ultimate goal in life is to make a movie (or several) and for that I need the monies. Monies that I will earn from poker (a game I'm really enjoying as of late) hopefully.
The Start
So, long story short, my bw mate iG.Fenris talked to me about pokerstrategy, and how I got 50$ absolutely free to play poker at party. I didn't believe this at first but everyone in the bw community was talking a lot about poker, so I really wanted to try it, and got my first 50$ in January, about 4 months ago. I have a lot to thank to Fenris even if he just casually talked to me about poekrstrategy. He isn't much known here I guess but he makes a lot of money from poker, high stakes.
From there I learned everything I could from the pokerstrategy articles, and since I thought the shortstack strategy which they promoted was really gay, I decided to play with a full stack since the beggining.
I realize now that I got mass lucky, because I earned up to 150$ in my first wekk, by playing a lot and basically going all with in NL10$ just with Top pair, top kicker on the flop. Crazy ignorant days.
I thought poker was sooo easy, that I cashed out the 100$ that I earned and was ready to try again, little did I know that I was going to lose my last 50$ in a couple of days.
From there I decided to really put effort into learning the game properly and bumped into this great place Liquidpoker.net, I've learned a lot from this and pokerstrategy. I gotta come clean and say that I'm still a breakeven player at NL25$(but huge winner in NL5$ and NL10$), a winner in MTT's and a small winner in SNG's.
Bankroll
I have a 650$ bankroll at partypoker. I have cashed out all my tourney wins to not lose them like I lost 400$ in cash games NL200$ from a tourney I won. I'm not gonna make the same mistake. I have a "potential bankroll" at my bank account of about 1200$ from my tournament winnings, but I'm not gonna deposit that again until I'm a big winner at NL50$, and I'm ready to go to another website to take advantage of rakeback and promotions.
The Present
I think I'm getting better at this game, but my main weakness is that I still get bluffed a lot and fold better holdings. I play a little too scared sometimes, and sometimes (although much less than before) I tilt and can lose 50$ in a blink. I'm following what Nazgul said at some interview, and just playing really good hands at micro limits, just slowly grinding until I adquire more experience.
Last sunday
On a side note just recently I won a 3$ subqualifier to a 26$ qualifier to the 300K$ Sunday Partypoker tournament. Actually I won 3 of those subqualifiers, but I just won once the 26$ qualifier so I played the sunday tourney last sunday. Sadly I lost after the 2nd break and got 500th position, just got 1 AA and from there my best holding was AQ. Not my best tourney but I will try to qualify again through the same method.
The Future
I don't really see myself doing anything else than playing poker to earn money. Luckily my dad earns enough to give me comforts so that I don't have to work while I'm studying at the university, and that gives me plenty of time to poker everyday.
I'm gonna be a winning high stakes player. And from there I will be a professional poker player. I know I can do it, but I also know it will be hard.
Good luck to all, see you next week dear blog.

was just blog hunting, or blog stalking w.e
found this to be extremely motivational
we all think we try hard don't we?

Any of you guys know a good book on charting or technical analysis for beginners? I want to use metastock but feels like it looks so complicated for a beginner i get lost on the terminologies alone.
As for life updates I've been messing around with stock trading(marginal success) and reading books on importation/export just in case something comes my way. Life is much more stable on all fronts since quitting poker but I might start to play again soon just so that i dont keep withdrawing money from my savings.
Took a break from watching too many movies and it's good that there's just shit out there since being inactive. Looking forward to spiderman and batman plus some other ones but mostly just watch stuff in the movies and rarely downloading.
It's funny since I've been dreaming of having money and not having to worry about poker for the past 5 years and now that I'm living that dream I don't really feel that much different lol. I need something more concrete to do that is not online nor poker related to be around people more, I tried forcing it by going out a lot and I ended up drinking almost daily and my age is starting catch up to me since alchohol zaps my energy the following day. The LP force is still very strong with me though so I've still been checking almost daily haha.
^^ will sasso, chris delia and bryan callen. standup comics who just fuck around for 10minutes. its a good breather from those joe rogan podcasts which take hours of your time but I still always listen to Joe because it helps me a lot in getting great perspectives in life.
I got jesus seat on a super fish. This guy's beautiful, he'll ship pf with almost anything and is only slighty tighter postflop. Dud'es sick lucky tho, I've lost 8 buyins to him so far and he quickly ships those to the guy on his right.
This is still less tilting than MTTs
-e- Most tilting thing is that I feel obliged to sit when I'd rather go out for a smoke. I just got a a bit under a buyin back though (rake is annoying)
-e- fishy finally left, table instabroke, and damage totals at 7 buyins
Excuse me for a moment, I like to have a cigarette after I get fucked
The creator/founder looks sketchy as fuck, and I'd never leave him alone around any kids, especially not with that random cross he's hanging from his neck that looks like he's trying to please the audience.

This is my review on MyPillow, a pillow that is only sold over the internet, phone, or at a few conventions where people sell random shit.
I decided to write this after using MyPillow for exactly 1 month.
I was skeptical of MyPillow at first because it wasn't sold in stores and the price for the pillow seemed excessive ($89.95), even though I already owned 2 feathered down pillows ($100 each), that I used for 8 years prior to this new purchase. Just like anything I want but costs too much, I waited a few months until the price went down or until I saw a discount on it. After a few months, I saw a discount code on TV for MyPillow that gave you 25% off, so I purchased it the same day.
Anyway, I slept on my back during the first night I use, and after I woke up, the back of my head felt a little sore for some reason, like if I was laying my head against a hard surface for too long or something.
The second night, I decided to not use any pillow to test if it was the pillow or not.
After the second night, I decided to go back to YouTube and watch the user-guide for MyPillow as well as some user uploaded reviews. I forgot that MyPillow keep the shape you mold it into, so, I decided to mold it into the shape I wanted and haven't had any problems during the past month.
I've noticed that the pillow seemed to get softer after the first week, and I don't mean it was hard as a rock or it lost its shape after using it, I just mean that it seems more comfortable to use now and I can still mold it into any shape I want.
I would recommend this pillow for the following reasons:
- I'm able to noticeably have more dreams now, when compared to before. They mention this in their advertising too. "rem sleep"
- The pillow is machine washable and you can put it in a dryer.
- There's a 60 day money back guarantee. (I read reviews that say MyPillow charges you a re-stocking fee or something like that, which costs $20-$25. I'm not sure if this is true, but I'm not returning this pillow anyway.)
- There's a 10 year warranty on the pillow.
- After shipping to California, it was $70 for the pillow.
I know ya'll be in VeGaS at some point. GL HF, C ash R ules E verything A round M e, CREAM! get dat $$$, dolla dolla bill ya'll. I <3 all ya'll nukkas... but I am currently not self-employed so gotta grind where they be payin me but if any of ya'll wanna swing by the East Coast whether that be NYC, Jersey Shore, Ocean City - MD, etc. give me a holla and we can probably work something out. I will be in NYC anyways sometime between July 18-July 31 and am gettin antzy to get out to an ocean to take some sun, eat some fresh seafood, holla at some females in bikinis lookin for a good time, etc.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
Lol just because i read NeillyFT 1050 thread
and the talk about God, i wanna share one of the sickes things that happend in my life.
True Story !
As some of you who did read my blog in the past may know i have this hyper christian parents.
I myself have hated religion from the depths of my heart since i experienced how much harm it did to my childhood and my parents.
For example there was this one christian healer who declared my mother healed from high blood preassure by the power of jesus christ.
She then threw her medicamentation away and had a heart attack few days after .... /thank god she is fine again)
You can probably realize that its quite a heavy burden when you love your parents
they live only like 1h aways from me but u can never be sure what stupid shit they gonna do next du to religion.
So since i couldnt stand the fear of losing them i one day decided to go to a healing jesus worship event with them in germany.
I took my GF with me and told her that i would end this shit if these guys would ever harm any people again with their lies.
Plan was I would littery walk up to the guy telling all this bullshit and punch him in the stomach then say that if he really does christs will Jesus would protect him and then i would KO him.
Since i am an MMA fighter chances of anyone stopping me from doing this in a church lol would be close to non existent
So i sat there with my gf and the event began. It was pretty boring and not really spectacular
nothing amazing happend , noone got healed and to me it was just a bunch of whine sissies who needed a God to justify their own weakness.
So we were about to go and then i heard a voice laughing out of my stomach (I could watch it like 3rd person)and felt i lose control over my body. Feeling i am not really in my body anymore and hearing that laughing voices out of my stomach ??? i realized i should jump away from my GF as far as i can since i love her and had the feeling something terrible will happen. I jumped and then passed out.
I woke up
My dad was crying , my mother was crying my girfriend was crying there was a big circle around me and people were praying.
I was like wtf is this shit ?
But my Girfriend and my parents could hardly speak. They were shocked and crying.
My GF couldnt sleep for weeks after that happening.
I dont remeber anything since obviously i passed out.
But later people told me that they have never in their life seen someone screaming in such a way that u could feel the unbearable amount of pain this person suffers.
My GF later told me that it looked like i was sliced by knifes from the inside and got tourterd for minutes while lying on the ground and screaming.
Well people came to me from all Ends cause they were all shocked and they asked me if they could help me and what horrors i must have seen and bla.
Well i was pretty annoyed since i didnt even have any clue what happend at all.
But i was worried that something might be wrong with my brain(tumor maybe ?) and so i made a complete medical check.
Since i am an MMA fighter i had access to a variety of testing methods for Heart and brain.
2 Weeks after the check was done and i was in perfect shape and doctors would give me an okay for an upcomming fight. ( Obviously i didnt tell them what happend....)
Yeha i was pretty confused from the whole situation.
Dont know wtf that was. And worsed thing is that everybody saw it but i didnt
wished someone had taped it on phone....
Well few weeks later my GF still shocked (Since she saw the picture every night in her dreams) she was down emotionally.
She was not how to deal with what happend. She kinda got depressed a bit and started crying a lot and i got annoyed with that.
I mean what can u do when your GF is shocked by an event u did when u werent even "awake" while it happend.
And more as a joke i said:
God wtf can i do to make this right again ?
How can i help her what should i do
And than God/Jesus answered .... (lol yeha i know it sounds stupid but well it happend)
He said: Dont worry i have enough love for the both of you. Everything will be fine
Make yourself free from fear.
Thats all i want from you people.
Be free from your fears
I guess the WSOP is just about half way over and, somehow, I have broken even in MTT's. It's very unlikely to just break even in tournament poker, since most of the time you are just blasting off buy-ins and then hit a score for more than you spent (hopefully). That's pretty much the formula. But for some reason, the poker gods have allowed me to cash in 3 events so far this summer. The cashes were nothing spectacular (4k, 3k, 4k) but they were enough to keep me even so far for the WSOP, so for that I am thankful.
The series has actually been pretty fun, and profitable, so far this year. I've managed to get in 70 hours of cash games despite playing 13-14 MTT's and some sit-n-goes, with like a $225 hourly lol. I honestly think in WSOP-season poker that is sustainable at 5/10; the people are just the nut worst. Makes me want to put in more hours playing cash instead of donking around in these bracelet events, but we all know that won't happen. The bracelet-shaped pot of gold at the end of the rainbow's draw is too powerful. (THE PRECIOUS)
I feel like every day is really busy so I don't know if I will get around to dropping another blog unless I rip off an event or something...and even then...who knows.
Expenses are a little high with eating out all the time, but I don't really have time to break it all down for May and June. Hopefully I get back on track in July. GL/GN, 3kNL tomorrow that I feel like winning. Peace.
PokerStar is hurting my life physically and mentalby quiton12, June 21
Hello everyone I am writing to vent. and schemes can not be PokerStar simply will not let me win a single hand, no, I flip all the games today, I received straight in the flop, I nailed a full house .. I have set, I turn nailed runner-runner straight, I have again set, runner runner flush, have gone so far as to insult God and beat me. My mood is bad, I curse too much and is so I have PokerStar is too sick , play the best and PokerStars is responsible for putting the turn and river that nailed me and worst of all, when you have kk AND THE FLOP IS 8 10 7 I say bet out on 9 or J to fuck the OP and so, so over and over again. this room is really random?? I'm thinking they are like casino machines that make you win when they want and not your skills.
