Meet Gambling Legend Ken Lennaard
Ken is the well-known enfant terrible of the Swedish gambling community, having been one of the country’s most successful pro poker players since 1998. With total live earnings of $1,542,062, and a regular on the European poker tournament circuit, he’s firmly lodged himself in the annals of Swedish poker history.
In addition to his career earnings, which in themselves are quite impressive, he’s made it to three WSOP final tables, and has been crowned both live and online champion in Sweden.
His early upbringing, though, was slightly different to the life he now leads as one of the most visible representatives of the gambling fraternity. Ken started off his career in the limelight as a child star on Hela långa dagen in 1979, and has subsequently appeared in several other popular Swedish television series, most of which have been poker-related.
He’s a well-known commentator on Sweden’s Channel 5 Poker show, giving out expert betting tips that cover both national and international poker tournaments, bringing his own idiosyncratic views to the table.
His gambling assessments aren’t limited to the television studio, though. He’s the founder and editor-in-chief of Poker Magazine, a popular publication dealing with the ups and downs of the beautiful card game. He’s also written for Sweden’s biggest tabloid, Aftonbladet, filling the position of poker columnist.
Ken’s also worked behind the scenes in the Swedish poker community to create a better organized system in which everyone can enjoy a game or two safely and without concern. He founded the Swedish Poker Federationand served as its chairman between 2004 and 2006, seeing the national federation become the first organizational member of the World Poker Association.
Simply put, this is Mr Poker we’re talking about here. But what this introduction hasn’t yet said is that Ken is also a keen fan of American football, following the NFL season with great interest. He’s a gambler, though, and can’t truly enjoy a game without a small side bet.
Over the years, he’s also managed to make a tidy sum off his well-informed bets and wagers, which he will be sharing with his readers here. Slow but steady is his motto, making sure that he makes the right bet at the right time. All of this is only possible by following his teams’ trends through the season, making notes of their performances and making a decision from that.
