Erick grew up in the Northern Californian mountain town of Burney, population 3,000. He and his two brothers were driven, competitive and channelled their energies into sport. Erick especially excelled, in high school he was the team’s quarter back and most valuable player in the local basketball league. College followed high school and a short drive from there was the Colusa Indian Casino. He found work there as a blackjack dealer and described it as ‘the crappiest job’ he ever had though, outside of poker, it was the only job he ever had. However, he could watch and learn from the customers and before long he was using his acquired knowledge in small stakes games as poker took over from his college studies.

At 20, he made what he described as his ‘biggest bluff’ and pretended to his parents that he was still attending college when, in fact, he had dropped out to play poker full-time. Lindgren would play up to eight online games at once, sometimes running the three computers in his flat at the same time. Once it was legal for him to do so, he became a proposition player at the Californian San Pablo Casino. It is the proposition or ‘prop’ player’s job to try to discourage conservative play through playing loosely and to incite the punters into parting with their chips. It was at this time that he got the nickname ‘E-dog’ when a customer loudly exclaimed, ‘Eee, you dog’ after losing to Erick in a number of hands.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century Lindgren began to try his hand at tournament poker and, buoyed by his final table finishes in some small competitions, in 2002 he decided to move to Las Vegas where the big tournament action was. Not long after his move he entered the Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic, took first prize and his first big payout, $228,192.

May 2003 saw the beginning of the second season of the World Poker Tour and cemented the friendship and friendly rivalry between Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu. Both players were performing consistently at WPT events and were regulars at the final table. In October, Lindgren won the WPT Ultimate Poker Classic but Negreanu had been further in more events. Near the end of the season the pair met heads-up in the Party Poker Million main event. Lindgren won the $1million first prize and along with it was voted WPT Player of the Year, just ahead of Negreanu.

In the next couple of years Lindgren continued to fare well, taking home several six figure sums for numerous final table finishes that included two outright victories. A World Series of Poker bracelet continued to elude him however, he was disappointed to only come away in the runner-up spot of the WSOP No Limit Hold’em Short-Handed event in 2006.

A January trip to the Australian sun in 2007 cheered Erick up as he came first in the Crown Aussie Millions Championship and finally, in June of 2008, he was able to hold up a WSOP bracelet from the Mixed Hold’em Limit / No Limit event. This and his other good WSOP results earned him 2008’s WSOP Player of the Year award.

Away from the bricks and mortar casinos Erick was a Full Tilt Poker Pro. In June 2006, he won the Fulltiltpoker.net Poker Pro Showdown event making it past a glittering array of poker talent and finally beating Mike Matusow in heads-up play to bring in $600,000. As a Full Tilt pro, Lindgren hosted tournaments on the site and in February 2008, he became the first of the Full Tilt team to win their own event, outlasting over 5,600 entrants.

When he’s not playing poker Erick can found on the golf course, also the scene of one of his crazier wagers. He bet fellow pros Phil Ivey, Gavin Smith and Chris Bell that he could play four full rounds of golf, scoring under one hundred shots each time, in a single day. Carrying his own bags and in temperatures that reached 41 degrees centigrade, Lindgren pulled off the fourteen hour feat, losing twelve pounds in weight and gaining $350,000 in cash.

He continues to finish in the cash at big tournaments, In January 2011 he earned second place and $700,500 at the Five Star World Poker Classic playing No Limit Hold’em. On May 29th, 2011, Erick married fellow poker player Erica Schoenberg.

High Stakes Poker

Sometimes it is hard for friends to play each other because they know each other’s tendencies. Bluffs can turn into double bluffs or triple bluffs and it can get confusing. All that second-guessing can rise exponentially. When Erick Lindgren came up against his good friend Daniel Negreanu on GSN’s ‘High Stakes Poker’ it was a case in point. It was Lindgren’s first appearance on the show and when interviewed beforehand he commented that Negreanu, ‘probably expects me to try a bluff on him today’.

Lindgren and Negreanu were sitting next to each other at the table and Negreanu bet $2,000 with a 10♥9♥ in his hand. Lindgren called and they awaited the flop. The general table chat continued through the flop of Q♣8♥J♦ and Negreanu casually threw $4,000 worth of chips into the pot having hit the nut straight draw. Lindgren quietly called and the turn card was an 8♦.

Confidently, Negreanu bet again adding $12,000 to the pot. Erick took a quick glance at his friend and played with his chips, obviously thinking hard before laying down enough chips to match Negreanu’s raise. The river card was an A♥ and Negreanu, after making a show of thinking things through, bet $25,000.

Lindgren took his time and then grabbing a large wad of cash announced, ‘All in,’ causing Negreanu to slap the table in annoyance, wondering what was going on. It was another $72,700 to call and Negreanu thought out loud saying, ‘he doesn’t have a king ten, I know that’. Negreanu continued to pontificate and at one point raised his eyebrows at Lindgren.

It drew no response though, as Lindgren just remained staring forwards, his chin resting on his linked hands. Eventually, out of frustration, Negreanu announced, ‘I don’t know what he has. I’m just going to call.’ Erick turned over 8♠ 8♥ and gave a shell-shocked Negreanu an apologetic smile. Without gloating, Lindgren solemnly collected up the $233,100 worth of chips.

Erick Lindgren is an extremely talented poker player,
especially when it comes to Texas Hold’em. He has received two
World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour titles.
On top of winning a plethora of other tournaments and cash
games, he has managed to bring in millions of dollars in
revenue.

However, despite the constant cash flow from his proceeds,
Lindgren and his family are forced to live paycheck to paycheck
to compensate for his gambling addiction. The majority of his
winnings go to repay his past gambling debts. He regularly goes
to rehab for his condition and has certainly made significant
improvements over the past couple of years.

Early Years

Erick A. Lindgren was born August 11th, 1976 in Burney,
California. Lindgren was very athletic in high school, as he
was the captain of both the football and basketball teams. After
he graduated, Lindgren became a blackjack dealer at Casino San
Pablo.

Lindgren was asked to fill in as a prop poker player at the
table to help keep the action rolling. He enjoyed it so much
that he eventually left his position at the casino to play poker
professionally. His first major tournament win was while playing
a $3,000 No Limit Hold’em tournament at the Bellagio Hotel in
2002.

Poker Accomplishments

Fans started noticing Lindgren’s talent after he won WPT
Ultimate Poker Classic tournament in 2002, cashing in at
$500,000. Later that same year, he won his second WPT event
after taking first place in the PartyPoker Millions cruise. He
was named one of WPT’s Young Guns of Poker and Player of the
Year for his accomplishments, and was asked to become a member
of Team Full Tilt.

Lindgren was later invited to play at the 2006 Poker
Superstars Invitational tournament and impressed everyone by
taking third place in the finals. Just a couple weeks later, he
impressed everyone again by winning the Full Tilt Poker online
Pro Showdown, winning $600,000.

Lindgren entered the 2007 Aussie Millions tournament in
Melbourne, Australia, which is a very prestigious event to be a
part of. Lindgren swept the floor with the other competitors and
managed to take first place in the No-Limit Hold’em speed-poker
championship.

When the 2008 World Series of Poker came around, Lindgren had
enough confidence to win his first gold bracelet in the $5,000
Mixed Hold’em event. He later went on to win the $5,000 No Limit
Hold’em 6 Handed event in 2013, bringing home his second WSOP
gold bracelet and another $600,000 in prize money.

Lindgren can never turn down a bet. One of his friends, Gavin
Smith bet him $100,000 that he couldn’t play four rounds of golf
under 100 in one day at Bear’s Best Golf Course, the most
challenging course in Las Vegas. Other professionals, like Phil
Ivey, added their own wagers and by the end the stake was up to
$340,000. Lindgren had to carry his own bag, walk from hole to
hole, and shoot from the pro’s tees. After 14 hours of playing
golf in 100 degree weather, Lindgren came out victorious!

Rehab and Recovery

Lindgren became addicted to gambling, and it really caught up
to him in March, 2012 when he couldn’t pay all of his fantasy
football bets at the end of the season. He also owed millions of
dollars to Full Tilt Poker, who he had taken out loans from so
that he could have a bigger bankroll to gamble with. Recognizing
that he had a serious problem, Lindgren checked in to
Morningside Recovery to get professional help with his gambling
addiction.

His experiences in Rehab made him realize how much control
gambling had over his life and how irresponsible he had been in
the past with his money. Through this process, the doctors there
were able to teach him how to separate his gambling profession
from his personal life, which helped him realize that it’s okay
to walk away from a bet.

It was suggested that he stop gambling all together, but he
wants to be able pay back all of the people he wronged and
playing poker is the only way he can accomplish that. He
released this statement to the media, “I don’t want to stop my
profession. I just want to get better at it. I want to stay in
full control, which means not gambling wildly, not going beyond
my bankroll and gambling with other people’s money. I want to
gamble the right way and do my profession as well as I can.”

Lindgren has the support of his wife, Erica, and their five
year old son, Jake who motivate him to work harder to overcome
his addiction.
