Sebastian Blom is the older brother to PokerStars pro Viktor Blom. In a Poker.se interview, the 24 year-old Swedish PLO poker pro Sebastian Blom shares his thoughts on his own game and life being the big brother of Viktor "Isildur1" Blom.
On his own results -
"I have been bust a lot of times, but if I take the time to think about it, I know that I can also win back my money."
Sebastian Blom does have one notable win in the Swedish national championship of online poker where he won close to $146,000.
On what occupation he wants -
"I have always been able to relax and never really felt that I wouldn't make it. I'm so lazy, and can't be bothered to do anything, so it will be difficult for me to get another job."
Blom does write a poker column for Swedish daily
Expressen.
On who is the best poker player in the family -
"I'm not the best in the family. I play to win money, but also to improve. My goal is to play $500/$1,000, but there is still some way to go."
As for Victor - "I am very happy on his behalf, but it's clear I don't want to be the worst of us. There is some rivalry."
On all the attention surrounding his brother Viktor -
"It was kind of cool before he went public about being "Isildur1", but it's clear that there were a lot of people nagging me. Especially in places like the casino in Gothenburg there was a lot of talk about my brother. But now it's much more the media that is interested and want to speak with him. Many try to go via me because they think they can get an interview with him."
