What do you do when you're not playing?
- Usally i play tennis, indoor bandy, fotball or workout at the gym. When im not doing that i drink beer or fuck. Sometimes I both fuck and play poker. You gotta try it! Its amazing! And of course as everyone else i also drink and play poker... My liver isnt feeling so great about it though... I pobably need a new one soon.

When and why did you start playing poker?
- I first started playing online in summer of 2004.

How did you build your initial bank roll?
- Me and a friend started playing stts and won a freeroll tournament at ladbrokes. After that i continued to play freerolls and stts and slowly worked my way up. Sometimes between the stts started i played some cash games. First i layed full ring 0.25-.50NL. I didnt go well at all, so i tried 6-max and quickly found that that was my game! I usally bought in for the minimum (5 dollars) and found that it worked very well. Then I tried 0.5-1NL, it also worked out good!

At this time i had a roll of maybe 400 dollars. When i got home (to my hometown) from the university my friend had bought "supersystem". I read it and the content hit me like lightning! I took my 600$ roll and sat at 1-2NL for the first time and after 4 hours i had turned that into 1900 dollars!! From there on i knew i could make a living from poker. It was a great feeling, maybe my best poker moment... this happend in january 2005.

From here i moved up quickly, i moved up from 1-2 to 2.5-5 in the end of january with a 3500$ roll and managed to stay there. In february i moved to 5-10 and also managed to win and stay at that level. I played 5-10 and took some shots on 10-20 until april when i tried 15-30 with a 9000$ roll. I won 6K or someting there from my first session, altough i won from those few sessions a played at that stake the players where better than me and i soon moved down to 10-20 and 5-10 again. 

I became full time pro in april 2005. The regulars at 10-20 was too tough for me so i moved down completly to 5-10 and played there for a year. This year was a frustrating year, it felt like every time i took a shoot at 10-20 i got burned, it was frustrating because i completly crushed the game at 5-10. I made $90K a month there for 6 months in a row. I couldnt believe the difference was so big between 5-10 and 10-20.

I played 5-10 until summer this year (2006) and took a break during the summer more or less. Instead i had the time of my life traveling with my friends from city to city and had a LONG summer party that seemed to never end. We drank and chased girls for like five days a week! I only played sporadicly when i was drunk and usally at 25-50NL!! I had emptied my account to buy an appartment so I only had a roll of $25K.

It worked good at first: i won some and lost some, pretty much even i think. But in July i lost and had my roll down to 4K!!! Now i didnt play much at all. Then in the end of august i had worked my roll up to 20 again from playing 5-10 sporadicly. When I came back to uppsala (where i now live) I started playing full time again. I started playing 10-20 with about $20K. It went well.. No more booze. I was sick of beer and liquor after drinking so much all summer. I didnt poo normally anymore it was just diarea all the time...

Now in the begining of september i ran really hot on 10-20. I started taking shots at 25-50. I remember playing pokergirl1. The first sessions he outplayed me bad. But i ran hot so i managed to get even somehow every time. Then the third session i think i came closer to him, i started to recognize how he thought. He still outplayed me that session but after that session i reviewed the hand history and later that night i dreamt of poker, the moment i closed my eyes from the moment i woke up it was only poker.

I have a great fighting spirit and heart. I swore that i would get better no matter what. After this night (i think it was in the begining of september) i crushed everyone i was faced against at ladbrokes at any stakes. Suddenly i had become so much better, most of the ladbrokes players didnt know what hit them and i recieved so much action because of my previous bad play. I felt immortal, unbeatable king of the world.

I made $700K in september i think, but then something dreadful happend. I was faced with a player that completly outplayed me. Kristian ulriksen. He destroyed me and i couldnt quit playing him. I lost $200K in one session i think and $500K in five days (click on the link on the bottom of the Interview to read more about this on twoplustwo)

But now i won that back and more but i havent played so much lately becasu we go out and party alot again. Right now its just so fun! I bought a ferrari 360 spider yesterday and girls are all over me

The bit I found most fascinating was the building the bankroll part. I bet there's a lot of us out here playing $1/2 thinking "how did those boys get the roll to play at $100/200?"
