Johnny Lodden wins half a million crowns on Sunday. A welcome contribution to the game checkout.
- Everything is crap, "he says.
Sportbladet met with the Norwegian poker star recently in Estoril, Portugal, and then he told us frankly about the situation. It all began with the comment:
I heard that you have won a lot lately.
- What?
I heard someone say that you are a winning machine ...
- Absolutely not. Poker, sports betting ... everything is ****, "he says.
You were "busto" (broke at the poker language) for a few years ago. Is it as bad now?
- It's worse, says Lodden.
Professionals have long
Johnny Lodden is a poker pro for many years and have reaped huge sums - but also lose big.
Are you saying that you win in poker and slush away on sports betting?
- I slop at all, "he says, explaining it as a bad spiral.
Something that started when he played at high levels in terms of bankroll, ie games checkout.
- I have played higher and higher levels, "he says.
How high have you been playing?
- 200/400. Then it can go fast.
The numbers tell how much money the so-called blinds costs in each hand - and it is about dollars, seven times the Swedish currency (now Lodden Norway but still ...).
Once it bends downward oscillation can go too steep. And that's what happened Lodden.
Follow the checkout
But on Sunday he won then great. That was the tournament Sunday Million, which he finished fifth and won nearly half a million Swedish kronor, 70, 000.
- I am disappointed that I did not win, "said Johnny Lodden to the poker blogger Lina Olofsson after.
- To get to the final table in such a big tournament is great but once you got to the point you just want to win.
Now there was at least a substantial contribution in cash games.
