Ambassador for 888poker

Following his tournament success and after being named Player of the Year by a Swedish publication, Martin signed an agreement with online poker room 888poker to become one of its ambassadors.

What does he do today?

Martin still plays poker both online at PokerStars (under the pseudonym "Mr.nosbocaJ") and in casinos around the world. To illustrate just how active and winning Martin still is on the international scene, in 2023 alone, he won 20 paid places in major casino tournaments in 5 different countries. On a more personal level, Martin has pledged to donate 3% of his tournament winnings and 2% of his cash game winnings to the Raising for Effective Giving organization. This organization is mainly made up of poker players, and funds a multitude of projects ranging from malaria research to artificial intelligence research to the protection of animal rights. The association was notably founded by Liv Boeree, whose bio you can find on our pages.
