Linus Loeliger Biography

For the vast majority of the time, Linus was playing online and nobody knew who he was, which is why there is not so much information about his personality. It is known that he was born on the 4th of January in 1995 in Switzerland, where he still lives.

Linus Loeliger was actively gaining knowledge of poker from various books even before he was 18, and when he finally became an adult, he swiftly created an account on Pokerstars. By taking a gap year after school, the young poker decided not to make hasty decisions and make sure that he knew what he wanted from life. At the same time, Linus was steadily increasing his expertise in poker by playing in online rooms.

Just like any beginner, Linus was playing on low limits, trying his best to balance his full-time job at an IT company and his passion for poker. When you add the preparations to enter the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, it becomes very clear that this was far from easy.

Despite that, Linus Loeliger managed to steadily improve his skills in online poker and started to raise the limits. That is why, to get more motivation and to play in peace, he moved to Malta for a couple of months. There he focused fully on his passion and began conquering higher and higher stakes. After some time, poker becomes the main income source for Linus Loeliger.
