I heart ziigmund

I just started reading this thread and this line is just classic I lol'd at work

ziugmud is good good good

Wow congrats on this thread reaching a million views

Translation for cover text:
SAHAMIES
The story of Ilari Sahamies started from 25 marks (equals for 4 euros). The rest is poker history. Welcome to see what's behind the curtain, to the apple of mother's eye's and multi millionare's mythic world.

I don't know what is a correct figure of speech in english for the apple of mother's eye.

the apple of his mother's eye-in her eyes he is the sweetest boy

f u luck

He looks like his name is Gruppenführer Hermann in that picture...

mamma's boy?

He has extraordinary nipples.

everytime i see a pic of him i think of the song "du hast" by Rammstein

this

hes my new poker hero

it's funny you should say that because i think of 99 red balloons

That was a cool story on that magazine. Sick degen with some serious drinking problems.

At one time he owned $8000 to his mom and PA. He had his last $200, went to casino, spins the roulette couple of times, wins, goes to PLO, wins $3000, hits the bad beat jackpot on 55TTx board for $6000, pays the loans and with remaining maneys wins $12000 more. If that didn't happen he could have stop playing poker.

Ziigs views on some of the players:

- Ivey: "One of the coolest guys I have ever met. Not as big gambler as I am. If I had that much money, I would be so fn sick gambler. I can take 1M flip with 1M roll but he only takes 1M flip with 100M roll."

- durrrr: "Very cool guy and a great player. More nit than me or Ivey. Not as geek as everyone think on the forums. Tom is always partying and drinking with us, and not just with us but on the frontline"

- Gus: "Cool dude, good company. He gets me so steamed with his chat comments. Gets me so fn tilted. As a player he's my personal fish."

- Cole South: "Never met the guy. Seems like a geek based on his blogs. Good player and hard to beat"

- David Benyamine: "Fn great guy. Basicly all the high stakes players are surprisingly good people. I like to play PLO with David altough I think he's the winner."

- Phil Galfond: "Very calculating guy. Plays only when the games are good. Doesn't come to PLO table when there's me, PA, Ivey and durrr playing. Well, he comes when he sees that Ziigmund is tilted. Very calculating geek."

- Lars Luzak: "Best NL player in the world even though I don't understand anything about that game. At least he was the best. Little bit lost in PLO because he has lost so much."


About his chat blow ups he says: "That's just part of Ziigmund. Sometimes I'm very pissed off about something I just said. I would never say those things to someones face."

He also says he has never been staked by anyone. Not even PA even though that seems to be some kind of fact on the forums. He has loaned money from PA when he has gone busto and for that he is very grateful to PA.

LMAOOO @ those descriptions "Very calculating geek" ahahahahaha.

thanks donkingdeuces, very entertaining

Actually that translation is wrong. The last sentence in the magazine is "Jopa laskelmoiva hiiri" which translates to something like: "[One could say that he's] even a calculating mouse (i.e. wimp/pussy). Mouse (hiiri) is a word Ziig seems to be using quite a lot actually.

And it's not necessarily as strong as 'pussy' -- can just mean someone who's of cautious nature.

Maybe 'nit' is the word you're looking for?

Nah, nit is "kyylä"in Finnish poker terminology imo.

Cole South: na sorry 100200 is as big as i can play vs u, ur too good
Ziigmund: huh
Ziigmund: f u
Ziigmund: h8 u
Cole South: respect ur game a lot i dont wanna play that big
Ziigmund: huh
Cole South: just saying i respect ur game a lot, i dont want to play u so high stakes
Cole South: i am happy to keep playing 100200
Ziigmund: u dont even know how f lucky u have been
Cole South: i have been extremely lucky against you
Cole South: completely agree
Ziigmund: hope someone shoot the rocket to your eyes in new year
