Team Experience Life as a Poker Pro™ Season 4

Okko-Juhani Kiiskilä

How did you feel immediately after round 14 was over?
Of course I was really happy. Actually I was feeling a little bit down before the tournament for some personal reasons so this place in Team Experience Life as a Poker Pro, came at the right time! I cracked a beer open and enjoyed it .

What do you do for living?
I study statistics and economy at the university but I have been playing poker as a “semi-pro” for almost one year now.

What do you expect from yourself in Experience Life as a Poker Pro season 4?
I hope to play my best poker and get to know some new people from the poker world.

What is your biggest Poker moment?
Hard to say a single moment. Being a constant winner is the best achievement but if I have to choose one moment… I have played Unibet open in Madrid and in a TV show called pokeritähti in Finland (same format as Poker Millions in Sweden I think). But I didn’t win those events so maybe my biggest moment is actually qualifying in Team ELAAPP .

What are your goals in these 3 EPT tournaments you will participate in?
I always want to win . But seriously I hope to play solid poker and go as far as I can. In these big events you also have to be really lucky to get in to the final tables but let’s hope I can make it!

Karl Lindberg

How did you feel immediately after round 14 was over?
I was already a sure winner for Experience Life As A Poker already after Round 13. There was no possibility anyone could knock me out of the top 7 in Round 14, so for me that was a great feeling.

What do you do for living?
I just finished my schooling before summer and at the moment I don’t have any plans or job. I am trying to enjoy the summer time and will see what happens when autumn starts.

What do you expect from yourself of Experience Life as a Poker Pro season 4?
It's obviously naive to expect to run well enough to cash big, in any of the tournaments, but I do expect to at least come in the money in one of them and to stomp in the cash-games. I will also try to get out and feel the culture of Barcelona, London and Prague.

What is your biggest Poker moment?
I don't really have any big moment from poker that I'm fond of. But it was a fun experience when me and a friend travelled to Grebbestad to play in Grebbestad Open 07 along with 700 other people. On the first evening, the police made a raid and shut down the whole tournament. Instead, the games moved to the cabins that the players had hired! There were probably over 50 cash-games taking place in Grebbestad’s cabins that evening.

What are your goals in these 3 EPT tournaments you will participate in?
See question number 3.
