Please start a thread where you share your poker experience with 2+2. We all want to know.

I'm quite sure Blom knows about 2+2 (even though I believe the one in this thread is a gimmick).

I know for a fact that several people in the Swedish pokercommunity knows who he is. I don't know who he is personally but what I've heard is;

* Not born 1990
* Did not deposit 2k and run it up, this is a myth albeit a very good one

He also played a bit on Svenska Spels Poker (Governmentrun pokersite in Sweden) against the high stakes players there and busted, twice. I don't know how he did after that. Note that a regular buyin at SvS is 200 bb.

Played him at 10/20 months before his hot run, maybe 8 months ago.

He was stationy, not like super calling station but like Zomg gotta make lots of hero calls yo! He was also v aggro, I thought that he was OKAY but nothing special at that time.

He won a BI off me and left like 5 mins later. I see him about 1 week later at 25/50 sit down with him and ask him to play 10/20 with me but he says its too small and he will only play me at 25/50 or HIGHER.

A guy at my school named Viktor Blom stopped studying because he did well playing poker. For some reason I never connected it to Blom90.

Translation: Blom90 goes to my school.

Strong mind**** imo.

edit: He live(s/d) in a ****ty student apartment and is a shy guy in general.

You play HU with absolutely relentless aggression and skill, 'n POOF, 1.5 mil.

edit: And start at NL400 with your 2k roll, don't move down until you reach railheaven.

It's funny how I never realized it.
First lesson of a new class: Teacher asks for Viktor Blom, and another guy says "nah, he won't come, he just plays poker".

I don't even flinch.

Then, a friend tells me how a Blom had his wallet jam packed with $100 bills at a club, do I connect Blom, born in 1990, playing poker, with Blom90?

Nope.
