I can’t wait to see what will he post now on the social media. I’m not a “friend” of him and i also don’t “follow” him, but his recent story is very interesting, it’s almost like a novel. These new winnings will contribute for sure ni the reduction of the debt he has to the loaners, but is it enough already, or does he still need more to stop saying he’s broke? Just a side question: Does anyone knows why losing full house against four of a kind isn’t considered bad beat?

Mr.Sahamies will broke again very soon. I agree that his recent story is interesting, but feel guilty to read about him for fun also. Because he does not looks like a professional player, he looks like a patient for me. I think he seriously needs a finantial coach or a doctor.

I definately need to agree with you, his poker evolution was more dictated by luck than skill. It also helped him the fact that he is over-aggressive and thats why so won some big pots by bluffing.
We'll see his evolution in the future but i really think that he needs to implement some discipline in his life.

not sure how he started out- i mean did he go from zero to hero or did he deposit lots of money from his own pockets (or took a loan as it's usual with him ) but you cannot deny hte fact that he has some skill- i don't think he is a degenerate- he probably just tries to play over aggressive, but i think he does this on purpose, remember he always is playing against the best players in the world and ends up winning quite a few time- so i think with his over aggressive playing style he tries to establish an edge in his game...not sure it works in the long run...
this week sahamies wins 500k, next week he loss, next week win again, next week broke, next week loan, next week win lose loan win lose broke.....its a never-ending story with the name sahamies....lots of money on his name either winning or losing...

I think he never was really really broke because how can he play those limits when he's broke ?? Yeah maybe he loans from other players but they wont keep lending him money.. So....i dont really know whats going on here but i can say its a strange story
probably even better that harry potter and lord of the rings combined...so to cut this awesome story short: part 1- sahamies wins, part 2- sahamies loses, part 3- sahamies borrows, part 4-sahamies loses, part 5-999 sahamies wins sahmies loses....super thrilling
