Tobias Persson

Tobias Persson-Tina1

Tobias Persson has played professional poker for four years. He has been successful in live poker but mostly online poker. He is known to play very aggressive and he likes to put the big decisions on his opponents. If you have seen someone with the nickname Tina1 it's 26 year old Tobias who grew up in the south of Sweden.

Tobias has always been interested in games in general, he used to play with his friends when they were children and it was often money involved, in smaller amounts of course. Four years ago they opened a casino in his hometown and he was often there to play Texas Hold´em. He found out that you could play the game online and he went home to try. He had played Texas Limit Hold´em before but now he wanted to try No limit. Tobias liked the game, he felt that he was pretty good and started to win.

The last year Tobias has devoted his time to other things then poker. One big interest of his that has grown is sports betting. His plans for the future are of course to continue play poker and participate in a few live poker tournaments with his partner Alex.

Why did you start play poker?

I began to play poker because I have always been interested in games since I was a child. I thought the game was interesting and funny but also good that you could earn money on it. I took the game very serious and did my best to become really good.

Your advice to other players?

To always learn from your mistakes. Try not to play too many hours in a row and take a break when you feel tired or hungry. Many players keep on playing when they are tired, and that's the kind of opponents you want to meet. Try to live a healthy life as possible. 

What do you see yourself doing in ten years from now?

I see myself in a hammock and just taking it easy.
