Ziigmund: "I can't win a ******* pot"

Tags: finland, high stakes, ilari sahamies, ziigmund.
Posted on 11 November 2010 by "T".

The Finnish poker pro Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies started 2010 with a few winning sessions and it looked very good for a while. But suddenly the poker gods turned against him and since then he has lost big almost every single month.

Last night Ziigmund took on Daniel "jungleman12" Cates in Pot Limit Omaha session, which only lasted 300 hands. Ziigmund lost $300,000 in this session and couldn't hold back his anger after they stopped playing. This is what he wrote in the chat.

"I can't win a fucking pot"
"0 pots"
"Today"
"Fucking amazing"

After this session, Ziigmund decided to try his luck against Phil Ivey and some other big names in the high stakes world. But no luck there either. Ziigmund called it a day when he was minus $490,110 for the day. In total, he has lost $4.3 million dollars this year. In other words, a total disaster for his bankroll.

Not a good idea facing Ivey when tilting Smile

i think its all about his mindset.
he should be going for some other things apart of poker.
he's so eager to win back money that he infact loses more money :/

i don´t understand why so many pro´s play stupid online poker. They can go in a casino to play real they have enough money. I make the most of my money in live games not in online games. Lost in one day in a few hours 6-7 times with a flush vs Full house on the river on one site so i can understate the statement i can win not a ***** pot this i happend to me too many days online but in live games thats happend only one time from 10 times playing

You can't multitable live, and i doubt that such high stakes are on offer in every casino.

WOW!!! its amazing the variance at this levels, and zigmund is obviously with the downswing mode turned on.

4millions its an huge sum to loss... but the same way you go down, you can get an upswing month and get 4 million back... variance is part of poker, and zigmund is clearly on the bad variance side in the last few months
 jessthehuman12/11/2010 01:17:17 GMT
I think somebody should give him the BRM link in the chat next time he's playing.. He could probs use a free $10 or whatever.

Ziggi is just the biggest punk ob earth... born as a fish and he will die as a fish Smile
 psycokiller12/11/2010 02:43:40 GMT
now he has something in common with Hansen and Isildur about losing big money in no time at all.

 Calmplay12/11/2010 11:06:22 GMT
Dear Ziigmund, notice that you're not the only one who can't win a ******* pot at the moment... but since you have the bankroll to keep trying then don't complain as you'll soon win big Smile
 jpoblong12/11/2010 11:39:34 GMT
zigmund is a good player but he should control when luck is not on your side.. 4.3 million in one year is huge. he must take a break
 mazas13/11/2010 08:59:32 GMT
isayd some weak ago that its happens and he must stop but he cant doing it and thats was his big problem he loose then some come back and again loose soon hell loose own self Sad
 themole13/11/2010 21:26:18 GMT
ziigmund=donk in all truth he stacked $4mil in next to no time why not just buy an island or something. better chance of enjoying the money.

To win a f*****g pot you need a f*****g good hand. Smile

But $4 million+ is a huge sum, even for a highroller.

maybe not a huge sum for him... he's got a pretty nice bankroll... lol Cool
 mahdrof14/11/2010 18:57:38 GMT
Wow! What a sh*tload of money. Even if you have a lot more, his online reputation sure got tarnished this year. If you think the online reputation for these players is not important, look at the lengths to which Daniel Negreanu went to in order to improve his online game. These days if you want to be respected in poker community you have to be successful online and live, and Dan’s was taking a big hit. Time for Ziggy to turn things around.
 dule-vu15/11/2010 00:24:21 GMT
why he didnt go on holiday or something?he just want to back money form last day and so on and then in few months he lost this huge money!I always say when this kind of article is posted here,its better that they give some of this money in charity,then to lost in "tilt poker"!maybe some children on some family really need!
 Supererou15/11/2010 15:22:34 GMT
I am Zigmund at the micro limits.=))))
 Gr8donkie15/11/2010 21:43:12 GMT
you're not the only one my friend..
 mickdixon16/11/2010 18:26:14 GMT
all gambleing basxxxx deserve nothing more
 noynoy17/11/2010 00:30:03 GMT
take a break!!! or play lower limits or find your lucky table... just be patient and the poker gods will turn back to you.. Smile Smile
 Pseudo1821/11/2010 16:35:01 GMT
This is not about luck. It is the lack of skills.
 Dellbo9924/11/2010 12:37:15 GMT
I watched Ziggy spew 400K at Brian Townsend after he had come back drunk from the pub.

He typed in the chat " getting drunk always turns out so expensive - I gotta stop " LMAO

losing $4M is just 10 nights out on the lash - it would seem.
 dule-vu24/11/2010 14:25:23 GMT
