Here are the translation of the interview. I translated it using the google tool because it's a long interview.
So there are many words and grammar that are not correct. But I think you could understand some Enjoy!
[size=3]The story about Slaktarn. Sweden's new online star[/size]
Each year, it appears up a new Swedish player at the very highest levels. You will remember well TexasLimitKing, Swedish Dalaklis Alex, who came up from nowhere and dominated large on the highest tables last year? Now, it has happened again. Slaktarn does this autumn become Sweden's largest snackis (someone people talk about).
-- I have been busto three times. I then borrowed up 10 000 and took a shot at Full Tilt.
Slaktarn appeared from nowhere and ride roughshod over opposition at 200-400 PLO on Full Tilt Poker. The entire poker-Sweden is wondering who is hiding behind the name, so Poker Magazine took the train south and met the man behind this delightful pseudonym. Here is the story of Sweden's new online star. One of the preconditions for this interview is that we will not disclose Slaktarns real name. He wishes to remain anonymous, and it is the wish of course we respect.
It was in the spring, people started to talk about Slaktarn. Several had seen how he massacred their opponents at Full Tilt, both in 6-tables and heads-up. And, as icing on the cake, he recently won the Full Tilt major heads-up Omaha tournament with 25 000 U.S. dollars in purchases. First prize? 560 000 dollars. When he talks about their profits and losses, says he is not "one hundred thousand U.S. dollars", but he simplifies it to "one hundred k". It is a rich butcher, we are talking about here. I met Slaktarn over a cup of coffee at a café in Malmo, where he is to play Malmö Open. He begins by telling you that the night before he lost several hundred thousand on blackjack and poker at the casino, but also that he won back everything and then some online when he came to his hotel room in the morning. Curiously, he seems fairly brisk despite its excesses, and is believed to imagine that he is entitled accustomed to late nights. I ask if he prefers tournaments in cash.
-- I'm not so much for live tourneys, but this competition is close at hand and costs moderate. Then, I know may people who are here, then it will be fun to play and be here. The first prize of over one million (sek) is quite okay.
Slaktarn come from a small village in southern Sweden. He was born 27 years ago and say he was growing up in an "ordinary swedish family." The mother working in health care and the father is an entrepreneur. When he took his graduation it was time for his first job. It became a McDonald's in three months. After that, he earned a industry job, but not where he stayed for a long time. Instead, he started his own business, a supermarket, when he was around 20 years. He also moved from home to his grandmother who lived in another city.
-- I worked quite a lot in the shop, but I got quite a lot of help from my parents. The shop I had in four years.
He lived with his grandmother for several years, but when she would move to a service building, so he moved home to their parents again, where he lives today. I ask if he has not thought acquire its own soon.
-- I have always been convenient of me, but I am thinking of moving away from home. Perhaps to a larger city. But as I have football, it is much, therefore I live here. I myself played football before, and now I'm team coach. Poker!
Slaktarns first contact with the poker came - as well as for many others - through the Chicago game, which he began to play on small when he was five years old. He continued to play through the whole school, and when he was in high school had the totals have increased considerably.
-- We sat and played on the bus. It was me and another guy who won, and people were owe me thousands (sek). As a rule, they always paid.
His interest in poker on the Internet were raised when he was 17 years old. In Växjö, he came into contact with a guy - MikeMcD on PokerStars - who played poker online. Then it was poker on the Internet, a relatively new phenomenon. Slaktarn got to look at himself and became so interested that he also began to play.
-- I started to play poker when I was 18 and my first account was at 24hPoker. First, I tried fixed limit at low levels, 1-2. We were very up and down, but overall it has been difficult to win there. Actually, I do not want to talk about the site, it is very setups there.
I notice that when Slaktarn talking about different poker sites - among other 24hPoker and PokerStars - he says that "there is too much there", and I ask what he meant by that.
-- I do not know what it is, but it is nothing. Maybe too many swings. On PokerStars, I lost several years to rake in fixed limit, but then I won the 100 k in a month. You play the same way for several years and so gained so much in a month. It is sick!
The first years were difficult, therefore, for Slaktarn, but it turned it. He started that play Omaha, and it just 24hPoker. Omaha certainly seems to have adapted to him, then it soon gave good results. He came in to Omaha at 1-2, but climbed right to early levels 2-4 and 3-6. There, he won a couple hundred thousand crowns in a relatively short time, which is a lot, given the relatively low level. But Slaktarn contented is not content to stay at these levels, but continued to climb, and in the end, he had won up a substantial sum. But that turned the game and he started to lose. Soon, he had lost everything.
-- I would have struck me up to half a million U.S. dollars. It did not take so long to lose money, it went in a week. It is fast when it goes in the wrong direction and it felt heavy. Jättetungt! Especially that might have to go down and play 1-2 again, when we had a lot of money.
Slaktarn was yellow, that is to say he had no money. But thanks to loans and sponsorship from other poker players, so he needed not start at the lowest levels, but was able to take shots at slightly higher risk. The risk of playing with a bankrulle to be inadequate, of course, is that it is difficult to cope with fluctuations in poker, and I ask Slaktarn what he thinks about it.
-- I have never directly been a smart poker player. I always want to play high, and we must take the shot.
But poker is not the only one in spelväg as Slaktarn doing. He spends a great deal in sports betting, especially on Entraction (b2b). However, his sports so far not yielded any significant results, either up or down. In addition, he is playing a part casino games as blackjack. We talk a bit about the various sites where you can bet on sports and on their responsibilities with regard to gambling. We are quite agreed that they should have a certain responsibility, but that it is difficult for them - because it will make money.
-- I get a little hint of buddies in the field of sports betting, but I play mostly himself, and no, I have not won so much. But I go a little at a profit. The problem with Entraction is that the lower the level of how much we should invest when you win. These sites can at least ask the question if you can afford to lose when it goes bad.
I ask if he sees himself as a gamble, and he responds readily laughing:
-- Yes, I am probably a gamble.
This is something that at the very least, is confirmed by his swings in poker. After having been yellow built Slaktarn back up their bankrulle, but came back with everything. It was so bad that he had last spring was completely without money and also indebted. Being aware of this, not even myself, who have seen the most to Poker, fail to ask how it is that he is only half a year later plays at the highest levels.
-- I started with 10 000 dollars on Full Tilt and played heads-up Omaha at the level of 200-400. It went well, I won 40 k heads-up. Then I put on two sexmannabord and built me up to 100 k.
"Personally, I think that Gus Hansen is a great fish in Omaha. I have been easy for him because he calls the down too much."
100 000 dollars in profit in a day. The original target of 10 000 U.S. dollars loaned Slaktarn of a friend. At first, he played many heads-up table and made the minimum purchase, and ended when he won 20 000-30 000. Now, when his bank roll grown, he has changed tactics and buying up when he plays.
I ask what it is like to play against the best in the world and what he thinks about his opponents. Without hesitation he answers that he has the most respect for is Patrik Antonius, and he has a minimum of respect for is Gus Hansen.
-- Personally, I think he is a great fish in Omaha. I have been easy for him because he calls the down too much. It was a mistake I committed a lot in the beginning when I played Omaha, but I have learned that we must be able to release good hands. I still take a shot at the fixed limit 200-400 or higher from time to time, up to 2 000-4 000, I have tried. But it is difficult to make a few games in fixed, it is difficult to get people to go to bed.
I am curious as to how he became so good at poker and wonder if he has read some poker books.
-- I have never read any poker books. I have always gone my own way and play a lot of sense. But I am also really aggressive. My greatest advantage is that it is difficult to read me when I bet. I'm not so much to bet half pot or so. Either I graze pot or so is the check. This means that my opponent may guess quite a lot when they should call me.
