Reporter: Good day ladies and gentlemen. We are here live in the Philippines to interview Obed Cutaran. So Mr. Cutaran, please introduce yourself.
Obed: Hi my name is Obed Cutaran 20 years old and I'm a student in Jose Rizal University and taking up Nursing. Hopefully I'll graduate next year.
Reporter: So you are still a student right? How do you find it to be a nursing student?
Obed: Well, being a nursing student is quite difficult since it eats a lot of our time with all the duties and the reviews both in school and hospital duties.
Reporter: Oh so is it your first choice?
Obed: Well, not really I'm a computer wiz since I was 8 yrs. old, but my dad told me to take Nursing instead of Computer.
Reporter: That's great obeying your dad and following their decisions.
Obed: Honestly it took me 2 years before I enjoy nursing.
Reporter: Wow 2 years, anyway let's go to are main topic. You play poker right?
Obed: Yes I do play poker both online and live games.
Reporter: How long have you been playing poker?
Obed: Hmm... Almost 9 months I think
Reporter: Nine months? Well you still have many things to learn.
Obed: Yes, indeed.
Reporter: What blinds do you play in live games?
Obed: I only play 10/20 binds
Reporter: 10/20? Philippine peso or USD?
Obed: That's Php it's about 0.20/.40 in US Dollars
Reporter: Oh, I thought it's in USD
Obed: Hahaha, I'm not that rich besides my cousin Fog is the one who give me money to play poker 
Reporter: Fog?
Obed: Yep, he's my cousin he gives me money to play and he's the one who taught me how play poker.
Reporter: Oh, will talk more about Obed and his poker life after the break.
Reporter: Welcome back! Earlier we ask Obed about how he learns poker, so Obed you said that you play online and live games right? What poker site do you play?
Obed: Well, I have many accounts, I think I have every account in online poker but the one that has money in it is FullTilt Poker.
Reporter: I see, do you mind if I ask you three questions from the audience?
Obed: Sure sure!
Reporter: This came from Aubrey, "Do you deposit you money in online poker?"
Obed: Nope, because I don't have bank account, well I have one but I don't have Credit Card or Debit Card to use, and I don't want to gamble my own money.
Reporter: You don't want to gamble your own money? Why do you play poker?
Obed: I mean I don't use my hard worked money to play poker. I just don't feel like spending it in poker
Reporter: I get it, this one came from James, "What kind of poker do you play?"
Obed: I only play No Limit, I tried Pot Limit and Fix Limit but it's boring for me.
Reporter: Here's the last question came from Paul, "Have you gone broke before?"
Obed: Broke? Broke is my nickname. Hahaha, Well I got a free $50 in FullTilt and it came from FPCB and $50 from PokerStrategy both of them are gone
Reporter: Wow, how many months since you became broke?
Obed: Months? I wish it's month, but it only lasted for days.
Reporter: Days? Wow that's fast!
Obed: Yes, really fast, it's like FPCB first gone in 4 days and PokerStars gone in 8 days.
Reporter: How come you broke that fast?
Obed: Well here's how it goes, Poor Bankroll Management = Broke; Not taking a break after a number of lose = Broke; and lastly Playing beyond your bankroll = Broke
Reporter: Oh, so all in all it about Bankroll Management?
Obed: Yes, Bankroll Management is the key to poker success
Reporter: So now you are broke what do you do?
Obed: Well I got inspired with Chris Ferguson and Boku87
Reporter: Chris "Jesus" Ferguson what about him?
Obed: I saw an article in FullTilt how he make $0 to $10,000
Reporter: Wow, you did the same?
Obed: Not really, I ask some of my friends here in the Philippines if they could give me $5 to start with and I'll build my bankroll up.
Reporter: So how much do you have now?
Obed: Around $27
Reporter: How, that's impressive... but not that impressive. How about Boku87?
Obed: Ah, Boku87 is the one who plays in PokerStars and He made his $100 to $10,000 in just 15 days.
Reporter: Wow, you have some great inspiration out there, so what are your plans?
Obed: Right now, there's a big problem in internet connections all over the Philippines due to the earthquake that happen in Japan so I'll stop playing for a while.
Reporter: I see so when will you continue playing poker?
Obed: I still play poker everyday but I can't play many SnGs and Grinding in ring games because if I get disconnected I'll lost lost of dollars and it will affect my bankroll.
Reporter: Oh, how about goals?
Obed: Here's the list:
-Reach $200 in two months
-Complete Ten BankRoll Management in FullTilt Academy
-Get a book in FullTilt Academy with my FTA Points
