Sole owner of a $50K and Masters title, Thomasinder (who also may have the strangest avatar to grace PKR's tables) looks back at his 2008 Masters victory and forward to this weekend's event. Featured in the first issue of Stacked Magazine, the Norwegian recently broke 50 MTT wins and sits in second place in the All Time Money List.

Tournament: PKR Masters $100,000 GTD
Date: 26 April 2008
Runners: 449
Prize: $28,062
Other results: 1st - $50,000 GTD 24 November 2007 ($14,280); 1st - Battle of the Masters 25 February 2009 ($980 + Big Shot seat)

Ten second interview

Danski: How did you use your $28K Masters winnings, and how did the win change your year?

Thomasinder: I'm student, so winning the Masters meant that I didn't have to get an part time job at weekends. Instead I could live the good life and party alot, and play more poker.

D: What's your next PKR goal?

T: My next goal is to win something major like the Masters again, or the Sunday $30K. So far this year has been ultra dry for me with almost no big wins.

D: What is the best piece of poker advice you can pass on?

T: People dont bluff nearly as much as you think (and that 2c-3c UTG should be raised).

D: What advice would you give to a new player with a small bankroll and big poker aspirations?

T: First of all read a poker book and/or become a member of any virtual training site where you can see videos and experience how the pros play. Playing MTTs isn't really the best way to build a bankroll since there can be long periods when you don't cash at all. Therfore I would recommend players to start grinding up their rolls in Sit & Gos or at the cash tables, and have that as their main bankroll income. Then play a few MTTs now & then to chase that big bankroll boost!

Play the $100K PKR Masters this Saturday evening for your chance to follow in Thomasinder's footsteps. Satellites begin from 52 cents or 900 PKR Points!
