Swedish are hanging out just fine on online poker.

with so many players you can get busted anytime but if you win u will win big. I won't play this tourney unless i win a satellite for this and 10 hrs poker continuously is too much for me, by that time i'll be banging my head against my monitor

so 2 peopel left both from ssweedon taht dosent mean anything liek if you go to the aussie millions and see to usa fighting it out dise that mean USA takign over?
