BIOCID’s INTERVIEW

If you have watched the higher cash-games on Prima–network, name “biocid” must be pretty familiar. His story is, how could I say, extraordinary. He went pro after only 2 weeks of playing, starting with $13 bankroll and $0.05/$0.10 NL tables. After he started, he has never had a losing month.

- I didn’t even know the meaning of “bankroll” in the first weeks, but still I survived and here I am.

Biocid, like many other top players nowadays, is from Sweden. He started poker on April 24th and is now in the age of 23 playing all the No-Limit games that go over $10/$20. Though lately you have seen him playing on Prima’s $50/$100 and $100/$200 No-Limit tables earning tens of thousands in one session.

- My worst session ever has been losing $30,000, but the best winning session goes to $70,000. I have some success in tournaments too. I came 2nd in an online tournament with 640 field and $1,000 buy-in. I was the chip leader for 6 out of 13 hours, and when it got to heads-up I had $4,000,000 and the opponent had $2,000,000 in chips. Well I got disconnected and came 2nd getting $95,000. The 1st place would have been $159,000 so it was a little bad beat.

There has been a lot of discussions on the “poker book” matter. Do they really help you or not? Doyle Brunson’s legendary “Super System” was the one that biocid read:

- Doyle’s “Super System” improved my game in the beginning. But then you just gotta play to get experience. Experience is everything.

Biocid attended the World Series of Poker too, but it didn’t go as planned.

Got really bad cards all the time. I wasn’t over at any point $10,000 in chips. But I’ve recovered from it and I’m heading to a $10,000 buy-in tournament in Bellagio in few days. That’s where I’m planning to get my revenge.

However biocid hasn’t played cash-games in Vegas. But he has played online and in his own words “online has been good lately”.

For all the new players who dream of playing poker professionally, here’s what biocid says:

- When you play poker professionally, you have the freedom of working whenever and wherever you want. And if you’re successful the money is a good thing too. But one of the worst things are swings, one day you’ll do good and second day can be very poor. Remember to play at the stakes that you can afford. Grind that level and move up when you win regularly.
