cool to see someone making a nice living from poker- maybe he really has some sort of an edge, maybe he is just on a good streak, we'll see. another zigmund in the making, not far from him already it seems, and way younger- so good luck dude

This interview with Jens "Jeans89" Kyllönen is every interesting, but I just can’t understand how does the interviewer lost this huge opportunity of asking him what does he think about MaiseE. It’s not him, is it? He wouldn’t have time to do this extra job with so much action on his schedule.

Very interesting interview. It actually makes you think theerare possibilities out there if you keep pursuing the game and don't play recklessly. Not saying I could even come close to doing what this guy did, but I've only been playing about a year plus 3 months and always seem to fare well. I believe reading some books may help one progress so that's a step I think I'll take. Good Luck to Al,l!

He plays good but only on full tables, not sure if you guys noticed but when he ends up being heads up at a table he quits after a few hands...
Also he plays the game by the book, i mean his hand selection is basically by the book, not sure why the other regulars don't change their game knowing this...
Never seen him play, he seems like a deep thinking player though. He's by the book pre flop, wich is good IMO. But is he agressive post flop or is he picky?
I'll watch for him in the future, he seems really good!
