Poker in Skandinavia

  Dane Gus Hansen didn’t have the best year of his career in 2009 having lost more than $5.5 million online. And, according to The Great Danes blog (in the national newspaper EkstraBladet) changes are on their way as he has made four resolutions for 2010.

He aims to continue the good run he is having at live events and to take regular breaks from online poker to make time for analysing sessions. He has also pledged to avoid Facebook and email while playing the $500/$1,000 tables and lastly to stop sports betting after he lost a fortune on the French Open.

It appears that he is already reaping the rewards as he is up over $200,000 online.

The Swedish high stakes mystery man Isildur1 was a force on the online tables until he ran into Brian Hastings. Apparently he has left the nosebleed tables and only made some few appearances on the lower stakes since his meltdown. But maybe his route back to Ivey, Antonius and Durrrr doesn't mean hours of grinding as many online poker sites see Isildur1 as a dream signing.

Lars Kollind of Poker Icons told Swedish newspaper Expressen that he thinks it would be similar to the signing of new world champion Joe Cada. He underlines it would be perfect for a sponsor to work with Isildur1 as he is already in all the poker media across the world. In other words there is potential big money for Isildur1 to pick up some cash to get him back to the nosebleed stakes. There is just one hurdle - the Swede has to give up his anonymity.

No sponsor pictures with logo, no contract.


Jonas 'Nebuchad' Danielsson is done with poker. He writes on his blog that it is like a bonfire that has burned all night. One might get a single flame to burn again, but only for a short while. He has told his friends to keep an eye on him, so that he won’t start grinding the lower stakes or something like that.

Nebuchad writes that he has earned enough money on poker, so he doesn't have to work for his entire life. He has long been one of the most respected heads up players in the world and online alone he has won over $1 million.
