Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren

Erick Lindgren, a professional poker player of our time, is someone to be reckoned with as many people could probably tell you. He started out from the bottom as many pro players before him, beat the odds, and worked his way up to an impressive career that is worthy of taking note of. Lindgren, was born on the 11th of Aug. in the city of Burney, CA.

Growing up, he was attracted to being in sports and playing any kind of physical game that he could get into. At one point, he even considered getting into sports for a career later on down the line, yet things panned out differently and he chose to attend college near home. As a young man in his late teens and working as a blackjack dealer, he began to take a keen interest in learning and knowing more about poker. As his interest and money as a result of playing poker in the casino began to grow, he left college to pursue a run at poker on a more consistent basis.

He spent a lot of his time playing at local casinos and even spending many hours online making his game play better than it was. A while down the line Lindgren received the nickname of E-dog from another player at the casino and to this day, it's stayed the same. He then took up about five or so years playing poker professionally and making his name in the world of poker that already has many players with impressive portfolio's and reputations that precede them as well.

He decided to go to Las Vegas and stay there on a permanent basis. From there, he would be able to hone the skills that he has been working so hard to build up and make the major change in his life that he has been waiting for. During the same year of his move, he came across what might have been the biggest break for him yet. He came out on top at the Bellagio Five Diamond P.C. and bank in and take home with him more than $200,000. He then went on to claim another huge win the year following that as well, which showed other's that he was not an opponent to take lightly.

Erick won a very impressive six hundred grand after participating in the Full Tilt Poker showdown tournament and beating out many of the prominent poker greats in the process as well which definitely showed many that he can hold his own and not think twice about it. Keeping that serious exterior and aggressively playing to win has always been part of what has helped Erick climb to a successful and profitable career in poker and creating the life that most people will only dream of having. Currently, he is still living in Las Vegas and raking in the wins. To this day Erick Lindgren is still proving that he is a tough force to be dealt with in the poker world.
