i bet he will and i am counting on you luckyjimm

Lol at overweight middle-aged American, they just had to throw that in there that he's overweight lol. Kinda mean.

cool interview, cool guy

Fake

worth the click?

I wish he could for once explain his rise in detail instead of the 1$ to 1M$ in 1 month BS.

i liked it

soo sick 2k-2m woaahz

wall of text crits you for over 9000
-edit no i cba posting exact links to whatever I say, ill just wait rando swede pop in and agree on this instead. Do your own ****ing work if you have a problem with im saying, search function is up there, wade through the hs-threads.

$2k -> $1,2m was on Ipoker as someone already corrected you on, the legendary blom_90 account. He was actually(confirmed on swedish forum by the regular himself, blom also have mentioned this in a interview.) that from the $2k he was battling a swedish regular at 3/6 and was actually at one point allin for his last money on a gutshot that he hit. After that he proceeded to run good/play good/whatever and rape him, move on to another opponent and there was the isildur saga born, what would have happened if he woulda whiffed that gutshot? Well according to himself he woulda quit poker if he busted those $2k since it was a loan. Go back to work and repay his debt and live a ordinary life.

Go to the HS threads of December -08, jan -09 feb -09 and you'll see how blom_90 arrives on ipoker hs-scene and is regarded a huge whale since according to the HS-regs hes running $800k above EV against them. Playing badly preflop etc but running insanely good. He cashes out $300k from his account at his highpoint of $1,2m and proceedes to lose it all. Cash in again, and somewhere around in jan/feb he had plugged his leaks and started to learn his opponents so well that he starts crushing them straight up, no rungood or anything. He gets rid of his "whale"-tag and everybody stops playing him. "he's just to good now, sick sick player, sickest learning curve ive seen."

He quits his blom_90 acc when he doesnt get any action anymore, italienstyle emerges, blom_90 on svs(swedish site) crushes, and ofc his betfair account starts to rape. This goes on for the whole year or so before he emerges on FTP in november -09 as mr _fullflush_ predicted like some nostrodamus. fullflush said he was the best player he have ever seen and that he would rape those silly yanks and send them to bustoville if he ever decides to give ftp a shot, and went to ftp he did, and most of us know what happened there. Jungleman got taken for 500k, he made dogishead quit poker for life with the 500k loss and write a big moapy blog about it, busted durrrrs online/account several times before he made what he is known for, blowing up and busting it all.

I just dont get why ppl question his own words, he wasnt the one searching for the fame to start with, he got called out way before he was ready, he still hid himself and avoided media and decided in the end that he might aswell just be open about it since he wont be left alone and be a public figure. Ofc he will start to remember hazy, but he have repeated the same **** over and over again now for quite some time with the exception of some wrong figures every now and then. Call it "lost in translation" if you want to.

Great post Lana, got any links to posts of people chatting about Blom90 being a whale? or any FFs predictions?

Dont forget to add that he crushed Entraction in February 09 as Zebul_ON, the few reports found about that player indicate huge winnings (million dollar weeks etc). When Isildur appeared on the scene there were a couple of scandi regs asking if he was 'zebul'.

Good read. You wouldn't expect that such a magazine would get the chance to interview him while I'm sure all poker media have tried too.

I cant imagine losing a $1.3 mil pot would be like. Much less before I was 21 years old.

saw him in the vic last night in london, was pretty drunk playing plo £1/£2! pretty sick

pics or it didn't happen, etc

figured this would come up, my friend took a photo of him on the couches, will try n get it. if i can't, then i guess i'm lying.

its true.i played with him until 8:00 first 1-2 and then 5 handed 1-3. he was there because he was with a friend called steve and they wanted to gamble a bit. i was surprised that he is a really good guy. i was not a fun of him and i thought he was a dick but i was wrong.

was steve that fat american guy?!

yes he is american living in the isle of man and was here for business trip, i am guess he works for pokerstars can not be sure

yeah my friend heard (i was playing at the time) viktor and steve talk about weed and drugs for like half an hour, he seems pretty cool

He looks like the average miscer to me

... Dorian Yates called, for me? Wow, awesome!!

ty loveminuszero for the post in the nvg hs-thread . One of the many gems i had in mind when i wrote my big post. Surely more to come when ppl actually realize how much gold there is for the eager one.

Pokerstars Steve of 2p2pokercast I bet!
