Hello everybody! Alot of you guys already know me, but for those who dont here comes a little presentation about myself, enjoy!

My name is Ramzi Jelassi, born 1986 in a suburb to Stockholm, Sweden. I am half tunisian half swedish/Finnish, so its hell of a mix I used to play a lot of sports when I was younger and basically played soccer every day of my life from I was 6 until I was about 18. When I was 17 I started playing some poker for fun and it got more and more serious as time went by. When I was 18 I had already made alot of money from poker so it quickly became pretty obvious that I wanted to see how far I could go.

Here I am about 4 years later and I have been playing on the European live circuit regularly since I was about 19. During the years I have been playing live I have met and befriended alot of cool and interesting people and among them some of the best pokerplayers worldwide. In the end of 2008 I signed a one year contract with RedKings together with my good friend and fellow poker superstar Jonas Molander. So far I have nothing but good things to say about RedKings and we have done alot of fun things together and they have really taken good care of us and all my friends and fellow pokerplayers that play on RedKings.com.

To this day I have played a few livetournaments in my new RedKings clothes, for example Master Classics in Amsterdam, EPT Budapest, EPT Warzaw and EPT Prague. Unfortunately I havent had alot of luck in them, but I have managed to win a 2k sideevent in prague and Jonas got 4th in the same event and I have gotten 4th in the sidevent in Warzaw after getting unbelievably unlucky against a nice Italian man

Now there has been a smaller break in between all the livetournaments and I have been playing more online on RedKings instead, mostly 10-10 to 20-20 Omaha PL, and I am amazed on how fast the client works, but I also heard that they are working on a new software for the client that will be even better!

After getting a little bit pissed about the cold cold weather at home in Sweden I decided to go with my friends to Australia like we usually do in attempt to come looking for our old friend, the sun! We found it here in Melbourne were we are right now and we really are living like kings down here The people that know me know how much I travel, and how much I love seeing different places of the world and meeting different people, so right now I feel like im on top of the world. The sun is shining, we are eating extremely well, working out, watching the tennis and playing some poker.

The Aussie Millions Main event is starting here any day and of course RedKings paid for my buy in as usual and hopefully I can do even better than the 25th place I got last year!

Thats it for me this time, but I will be back with more blogs from time to time.
