Sagstrom’s internet success eventually led to live games. He’s played mainly Euro events with winnings totalling over $168,700. On the live circuit he’s known as the “King of Ding”, and hasn’t had a notable cash in two years. He was involved in creating a poker room called PokerChamps.com with Gus Hansen and Tony Guoga. He was also the player who played Liz Lieu in a three-game, $200,000 head-to-head match in 2006.

It`s unknown how much he’s won playing online cash games, but Sagstrom has been reported to be killing the games for years. Figures that get thrown out there have him averaging a cool million in winnings a year, a testament to his game and his ability to adjust to the ever-changingonline poker scene.

Sagstrom operates under “Erik123”, “the Salmon”, and the “King of Ding”. He could be playing under other names that haven`t been revealed yet, so if you run into him at Pinnacle Sports Poker you likely won’t know it at the outset.

When asked what advice he would give to aspiring young players, Sagstrom said, “Poker will always be there, there’s no rush to get up in stakes. Start low and stay low until you feel secure enough to move up in stakes. Then you have to try to be objective enough to see if you have a talent, and if not, maybe don’t take it too seriously.

“Play a lot of small buy-in tournaments and develop your own style. Stay aggressive, and if you’re a good player see the flop often – most people won’t know how to play the flop. To make money online you have to concentrate and develop in one game – be a specialist.”

Keep an eye on this star, and if you see his username pop up at Pinnacle Sports Poker make sure you’re ready to cope with the thrill of playing against one of the online world’s dominant young players.
