My name is Oscar, and I’m a gambleoholic

If you’ve paid any attention in the past, you know I can’t be talking about myself. I spell my name with a K.

At McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas I run into two Team 3000 members,  Oscar Kroon and Robin Ylitalo, two very nice guys I haven’t had the pleasure of crossing paths with before. Like most other poker players they love to gamble it up and when I spot them they have a deck of cards spread across the seat between them. Oscar was running very good, hitting one 1-outer after the other and him hitting almost felt like an even money bet. At one point Oscar says something about gambling addiction and I thought he was talking about me who was railing the WSOP main event at the gate without no financial interest in the outcome. However that was not the case, Oscar meant himself who was trying to “hustle” a friend playing cards rather than railing one of his good friends who was still among the last 60 players of the main event :)

We also had an oppurtunity to chat, I mean IRL talking here guys, and they taught me a bit about push-ranges from the cut off with 10bb, and a major step towards GTO :D All jokes aside you don’t need to spend a lot of time with these guys to realize how much I have to learn from them when as far as tournament poker goes.

Guess who was winning?

Finally back home in Sweden and looking forward to getting back online grinding ;)
