Hello! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jonas Molander, I’m 22 years old and I’ve been playing poker for about four years. I’m born and raised in Sweden and I recently moved from Stockholm to a smaller student town in southern Sweden called Lund. Here I play poker fulltime but I’m still trying to get some studies done on the side for fun.

I’ve been playing most of the big live tournaments in Europe since three years back and now I got the great honor to do it together with RedKings! That’s not all; I also got company by one of my best friend Ramzi Jelassi who is a really great Swedish pokerplayer as well.

Our first tournament in the RedKings clothes was the European Poker Tour – Warzaw. I had a good starting table there and tried my best to get some chips but I didn’t have to much support from lady luck. After a while I got moved to a worse table where I got the seat out of position of another really good friend and pokerplayer from Sweden. I played tight without anything spectacular except some steals here and there when the moments where good.

I made day two with about twelve bigblinds which wasn’t very good but it is always good to have your tournament life left. I had a good start on day two fighting players like Dario Miniri and some others. I more than doubled my stack without having any showdown which was good. Then I did a move with A9o and got called by two sixes. No support from lady luck and I was out on the classic coinflip.

The trip wasn’t over because I was out of the tournament though. We were a couple of Swedes who lived together and had a lot of fun. Some good lunches at the shopping mall and then we went out two nights. The both nights were awesome; it’s always fun to go out with people you haven’t met in a while. One of the nights two Americans joined us aswell. Michael Martins who won the EPT – London this year and his friend. We had a great time and it’s always fun to meet new people!

Now in a couple of days I and Ramzi are going to Prague for the next EPT. I’m going to try to get to the gym two times before so I get my focus on top. On Sunday I’m also going to play the $5k tournament on RedKings which should be a good warm-up as well. I really love big tournaments because they make me think on a whole new level and I’m always trying to develop my game the most in those tournaments.

I will also be playing two bounty tournaments on RedKings where you can join up and use your mind or balls to beat me and the other team RedKings players. Tomorrow at 19.35CET there will be a $11 tournament with $70.000 guaranteed and added bountys on all team RedKings players. If you knock one of us out you will get a $320 ticket to a live event final where you can qualify for an EPT event or Aussie Millions!

That’s not all! On Sunday RedKings is hosting a $500 freeroll at 20.00CET where the winner also gets a ticket for the live event final. If you knock one of the team RedKings players out you also get $100 deposited to your account!

I hope I’ll see you all in the tournaments! Until that, Good luck
