Johnny Lodden (born 1 June 1985 in Jørpeland, Norway) is a Norwegian professional poker player prominently known for his online 🍎 success. He frequently played under the alias "bad_ip" on Prima network online high-stakes games (up toR$40,000 buy-in NLHE), and for 🍎 a brief time he was considered the biggest winner in the largest online cash games in the world (before Full 🍎 Tilt Poker expanded to include larger games). Lodden has also been known to occasionally play on PokerStars under the alias 🍎 "Lars-Magne". In August 2007 Lodden gave a brief interview with the Danish poker journal Acemag, where he admitted to having 🍎 lost his whole bankroll and had to retire his old bad_ip account and start from scratch with a stake from 🍎 a friend.[1] As of 2024, his total live tournament winnings exceedR$2,800,000.[2] Lodden came in 11th place at the 2008 World Series of 🍎 Poker Europe Main Event, earning £54,300 ($86,880).[5] He cashed in one event at the 2009 World Series of Poker before 🍎 making a deep run in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 27th.[6] Lodden Thinks [ edit ] Lodden's name 🍎 is associated with the game "Lodden Thinks" in which two bettors place bets on what a third party thinks is 🍎 the answer to a given question. For example, the third party will be asked how old he thinks a particular 🍎 person is or how much a particular item costs, and before revealing his answer the two players will place a 🍎 bet on what they think the third party's answer will be. The actual answer to the question is irrelevant. This 🍎 game was invented during the World Series of Poker Europe when Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari played the game, with 🍎 Johnny Lodden as the third party.[7][8] |
