Hi!

My name is Rasmus, 21 years old from Sweden.
I've been around in the swedish forum a while and have a blog there aswell, but I think it's time to move on in life and expand my views.. that goes for seing new countries, play at international poker rooms (instead of the swedish one i usually play on) aswell as getting to know the english community!

So I've done 3 things recently:

1. Moved to Marbella, Spain.
2. Started playing on a € site, NL50+ (today)
3. Started a blog in the english community

Poker History:

Been playing for about 1,5 years now, started at NL5 and slowly made my way up the limits. Last 4 months or so poker has been my only income so I'm a fulltime player atm. NLHE 6max is my main game, tho recently i started playing some MTTs aswell and doing okey.

Graph of 2012 so far (from swedish site avg buyin = NL50$ish)

From now on will probably only post graphs/hands from € site as it makes more sense and is less confusing. :f_biggrin:

Also throwing in some random Art!

Happy fishing ♦

Hehe thanks!

I've actually found that if u have like a big loosing day (due to variance not bad play) , if u take some time before going to bed to paint a funny picture youre more likely to fall asleep with a happy smile!
