On May 11, pablito_21<\/strong> decided to invest $215 in the special partypoker $500K Guaranteed Sunday<\/a><\/strong> and it turned out to be a superb decision. Why? Because when the dust had settled on one of the largest tournaments held at partypoker in recent times, pablito_21 had chopped with sweetster and turned that $215 investment into $83,471.48.<\/p>\n

From Zero To Hero<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like many online poker players, pablito_21 discovered poker while in the midst of his studying and began playing freeroll tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cA friend introduced me to the game and although I wasn’t really interested in any kind of gambling at the time (still not actually), the ‘skill’ aspect of the game interested me and I quickly started playing online. First I played freerolls, but at the time partypoker had a smallish no-deposit bonus; which allowed me to build an actual bankroll there,\u201d<\/em> pablito_21 told the partypoker blog.<\/p>\n

You’ve Come A Long Way Baby…<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pablito_1 has come a long way since grinding freerolls and can now be found playing tournament with buy-ins ranging from as low as $1 and up to $500, mainly in the online arena due to the flexibility it afford him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I am a recreational player, I just play what fits in my schedule and what I enjoy, without any real form of game selection. I mainly play online, but due to becoming a father recently I really can’t put in much volume anymore. If I find the time, I’ll try to make it to a fun live tournament, but that doesn’t happen that often.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Respect<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With him looking up to players such as Daniel Negreanu<\/strong><\/a>, Martin Finger and Ole Schemion, it is no wonder that pablito_21\u2019s tips for success include playing aggressively and sometimes unconventionally.<\/p>\n

His five tips for poker success are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t autopilot when playing<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Think outside of the box<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t blame or loathe variance, but rather embrace it<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Think not only of your villain\u2019s range, but also how they perceive yours<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. You can\u2019t win if you fold<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to being able to incorporate those five snippets of gold into you game, pablito_21 believes players need to be disciplined in their approach to poker, have intelligence and plenty of mental stamina.<\/p>\n

    Despite having more than $83,000 in his back pocket pablito_21 doesn\u2019t plan to ditch the day job and turn professional at poker, citing that he enjoys playing as a hobby. He does however, plan to play plenty more tournament at partypoker so look out for the name pablito_21 at a table near you.<\/p>\n
