http://www.highstakesnews.com/2008/0...-the-slaktarn/

highlights...

-One thing he don’t unveil is his identity, because he wants to remain anonymous.

-Slaktarn comes from a small village in the southern Sweden. He is 27 years old and lives with his parents.

-When he was 18 years old he opened his first account at 24hPoker. First he played small fixed limit texas Hold’Em games but moced to omaha games after a while. He started managed to move up levels quickly and build a bankroll of $500k only to lose it all in a week.

-He made a fresh start with a $10k borrowed from a friend of his and went straight to the biggest omaha tables at Full Tilt Poker and won $100k quickly.

-When asked who he thinks is the weakest and strongest players at Full Tilt Poker he names Gus Hansen weakest, total fish as he calls him, and Patrik Antonius as a strongest player around.

Ballinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn'!

So basically he is a degen,luckbox and lives at home at 27.... hmmmmm.

Start the clock for countdown to busto imo.

LOL

He wants to remain anonymous because the swedish goverment will be after him for about a million dollars in taxes from Full Tilt winnings...

I would also refuse to unveil my identity if i lived at my parents while having a million..

Suici

Depends what his home looks like.

Does his mommy give him his daily poker allowance?

I read the article in swedish and Slaktaren comes off as a crazy gambler.

quotes from the swedish version:

Slaktaren: "I like playing high that's why I take shots"
He also says that he was broke last year and owed people money, he then borrowed 10k and took shots at the highest PLO games on FT.. lol bankrollmanagaments!!!
He apparently loves sportsbetting and blackjack too!

I wish him the best, but would'nt be surprised if this guy is broke tomorrow.
Bustoville in 3, 2, 1...

This is such fluff. Give us some real info other than he he has had crazy swings

He opened an account at 24h poker in 1999/2000!

I wish I knew about online poker back then.

i wish I would of been old enough to play online back then

standard

lol

Thing is, the site started up in 2002, very small scale. So... I dunno, the interview sucked.

Lol, anonymous. He played the Ept of Barcelona and told several guys at the table who he was. He finnished just after the bubble bursted I believe.

Webjoker, so what is his name?

[ ] long term plan

didn't he lose all the money he won in the 25k plo hu?

slaktarn: soo lol
durrrr: sit in pls
slaktarn: fu fish
durrrr: sitting out is just prolonging the inevitable...
durrrr: i wonder if that idiot
durrrr: realizes i was a favorite

Lmao, this just happened after durr won a 200k pot of slak

So much for that big 25K PLO win.

its got nothing to do with him wanting to be anonymous. He just dont want to pay the taxes and then he cant go out in public that its him

True degen in action.
