Lodden Thinks
We all know the saying "I wish I knew then what I know now" or however that saying goes. Well, Johnny Lodden is letting us know what he knows so we won't have to utter that famous phrase.
Looking back on his days as a high-stakes gambler, he said, "When you have the money online it’s different. If I had a briefcase in front of me with $3 million it would be different thing. When you just have chips and numbers on a computer, you just treat it differently.”
This is more directed to Isildur1 than to anyone else because he feels the mystery Swede is in the same place he was three years ago. “I think he’s young and doesn’t understand the value of the cash,” Lodden said. “But I love his No-Limit (Hold’em) game. I mean, he’s really good at (Pot-Limit Omaha) but he’s much better at No-Limit (Hold’em).”
Instead of playing in the highest stakes online anymore, Lodden wants to prove himself in the live tournament circuit these days. “I really want to do well in live tournaments because this is the thing everybody cares about. I love to play tournaments, especially the EPTs and nowadays I’m not playing so high, so I have to grind it out in these.”
