Linus 'LLinusLLove' Loeliger is considered to be one of the most successful online poker players in Sweden. It is unknown how much exactly he has won in his entire career.
Just last year, he has won more than $1 million online and still going strong. Even though he's mainly not a frequent player on the live felt, he couldn't possibly miss this year's juicy action at the Triton Poker series.
On May 2019, LLinusLLove joined the HK$250,000 NLHE Turbo event. He may not have won the event but he still got to finish 3rd place which awarded him HK$1,720,000 ($219,262).
On July 2019, he topped the £25,000 NLHE - 6 Handed Turbo (Event #1) of the Triton Poker SHR London, taking home £690,000 ($840,039), considered to be the biggest cash of his career to date.
On August 2019, still at the Triton Poker SHR London, he finished 3rd place at the £50,000 NLHE - 8 Handed (Event #3) for £594,000 ($720,288).
Thanks to his most recent achievements in the world of live poker, his name sits at the No. 1 spot in the Switzerland All-Time Money List.
During a break in between game sessions, the 25-year-old talked to one of the poker reporters. Check out the video interview below about Loeliger's poker career and how he began from micro-stakes and eventually made his way up to the high-stakes games.

I don't know nothing about this player and i don't remember if i've ever read about him. There is a chance if his nickname from a certain poker room it's revealed but otherwise not. It is not like Isildur1 but if he plays in big stakes and won money, then is a good player. | ||

It’s certainly interesting that Who is Sweden’s most famous player is completely unknown to me, but now I will know this player unless of course I forget him a sufficiently memorable nickname, so most likely the next time I see him somewhere I will remember information about him Of course this player has very cool results. | ||

It just feels like there are a couple dozen no-name swedish players who are playing on high stakes and could 'break out' any time to gain some fame - or at least it reads like this every time a new one out there declare his game to the live circuit. | ||
CALICUL | 27/08/2019 08:19:03 GMT | |
There are a lot of no name players who play big stakes and we haven't heard from them but that does not mean that they are not reputable players and that they can't make a lot of money. It is a wrong way of thinking, because they are very talented, if they play and win impressive amounts. | ||
Mober | 27/08/2019 12:39:25 GMT | |
I havent heard of this player before, but the sure thing is he is doing really good in the poker world. Not only online, but from what we can see in live gaming also. And he is only 25 years old, so he is still young and can move even further. At least considering from his results so far. | ||
bowie1984 | 27/08/2019 18:39:33 GMT | |
He is not starving that's for sure. No swedish poker player does | ||

Well done Linus. You have made it from being a very unknown online poker player from Sweden to a very well known live poker player from playing at the very lucrative Triton Poker series. It will be interesting to see how Linus gets on at the live tables, as it is very different from line. For me I hope he does extremely well and continues his winning streak and becomes a very well known Swedish poker player. | ||

When we look number of news about poker player,especially younger players,people will how easy is to win lot of money on poker!thats why they take so many ambassadors and team pro members to attract people!but I never heard for this player! | ||
Mober | 29/08/2019 13:08:43 GMT | |
They can win big money in poker, but it is not an easy job, to be that successful. If it was everyone would play poker to make a fortune But the fact it can be done has drawn so many players so far, and more young people are trying their luck with it. Some are doing good, some others may have already quit the game | ||

It is very difficult to succeed in this industry and that's why young players learn poker strategy, since they are minors. I have come to the conclusion that it is very difficult to win big money, if you do not know how to play poker very well. This chance to make a lot of money is there for everyone if they learn too good. | ||
bowie1984 | 14/09/2019 15:26:41 GMT | |
Conclusion? What? Why this was up to debate in the first place? It's silly, this statement was never in doubt. | ||
CALICUL | 15/09/2019 10:38:18 GMT | |
Conclusion is that: You can't make much money from poker if you don't know the strategy. I saw players in live tournaments who participated for the first time and won. This does not mean that they did not know about poker. Or you're talking about something else? | ||

I don't really know him and I didn't hear much from him like others who are a little better known in the poker circuit ... but hey, many start like this without being known and then suddenly they get to know each other, well I don't think so that others think about it because maybe you don't know much about the subject but I always want to leave my opinion |
