Who is Isildur1?

[S93]

Pretty sure Full Tilt is more interested in their reputation than the rake. They could just about make a Mastercard commercial out of it:

Heads-up rake at nosebleed stakes? 50c per hand. Being known as the place for nosebleed action and watching the pros play online? Priceless.

The rake might be low but there still making a tone of money of the nosebleeds, imagine all the money these nosebleed regs deposit, now imagine all that money sitting in a FTP high interest bankaacount some where in a tax haven!!!!

- He doesn't want people bugging him for money
- He wants to retain anonymity when he plays live
- He wants to retain relative anonymity when he plays on other sites
- He doesn't want players to be able to transfer reads they've got on him from other sites to his current games
- He's too busy playing to care
- Watching internet kids lose their minds trying to work out who he is brings the lulz

These are all good reasons, last one is definitely the best one though IMO.

Yes it's either these, or he'd like to avoid that little thing called 'tax'

How do ya figure? Curious.. have you watched him play? Do you know of his prior accomplishments on other sites up to this point? Do you know who he is? (perhaps it's another player 'multi-accounter'...who knows??).

Sure he's only played ~15,000 hands vs. Dwan so far but has won I believe just over $3mil from him (as of yesterday).. but it's been a steady incline. Dwan doesn't seem to be able to get the upperhand in any session they've played so far. Yes it's early, but I think as they adjust to him, he'll be adjusting to them, etc.

I don't think this guy's going bust at all.

Do you remember the last guy that came along in august and went on a sick run then lost it all to the nose bleed regs....

 

[KingCurtis]

Antonious took $2.7M off Isildur yesterday. Antonius had a $3.9M dollar day yesterday and Isildur had a -$3.6M day.

my predictions are happenin...

 

[S93]

OMFG! It looks like Isildur is killing cole.
Isildur has 150-750K on each of the 6 300-600 tables and Cole has 60-150k!

 

[only_bridge]

You know for sure it's Gulkines? Hey you're from Linkoping? Aren't there a sick amount of great players from that area?

Yes, there are lots of great Linkoping players.
I am actually getting more and more sure its Blom90. More and more people say its him.

OMFG! It looks like Isildur is killing cole.
Isildur has 150-750K on each of the 6 300-600 tables and Cole has 60-150k!

Yep, he's been destroying Cole South tonight. He was upto 950,000 on one table just a minute ago. He was over 500,000 on another table and 450,000 on another. He had more than 2,000,000 in play on all of his tables combined.

Sorta makes me wonder if Cole South is in trouble at this point. I remember reading on a few sites that his BR was just a little over 2 million. Looks like he's lost more than half of that tonight.

 

[F Paulsson]

Haha Must just be a much bigger area then I assumed

I don't know what size you assumed, but it's small by international standards. About 130k people live here.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Isildur1 = Oprah Winfrey (not sure why she's using a different avatar.... as if she's even fooling anybody). I heard that Phil Hellmuth had trained her for these HeadsUp matches, hence the huge overbets (but where are the 4 & 5x preflop raises?)

 

[jazzaxe]

I will tell you who this betting reminds me of... Archie Karas. He took Reese and Chan for over two million, but Reese won his losses back. I know he was in the wsop this year because they showed him on ESPN. I think he was staked and I'm pretty sure he is not a big online player. But he is mainly a Razz and 7stud player. Wild stuff.

Viktor Blom Photo
Viktor Blom is a 20 year old poker pro from Rånäs, Stockholms län, Sweden. Viktor started playing poker under the screen name of blom90 on the Ipoker network and Party Poker. I believe he played under Blom90 on Party and also blom90_fan. Viktor Blom is alleged to have deposited $2000.00 on Ipoker and ran it up to $1.5 million in 2 weeks with his hyper aggressive style. He was 18 when he first did this and is now around 20 years old. Viktor Blom was nominated in the Scandinavian Poker Awards for rookie of the year in 2008. Viktor started his run on the Ipoker network and has since migrated to Full Tilt Poker to take on the best in the world. Like a poker prophet, Lukas Schwartz aka _fullflush1_ foretold about Viktor’s coming to Full Tilt, like was predicting the second coming of the Anti-durrrr. Sure enough, Viktor came to Full Till Poker to play with the pros. He not only played with the pros, but started an epic poker match in an attempt to reign supreme over the Full Tilt team members who play the highest stakes. He signed up under the name of Isildur1. He started by taking about $3 million off of Tom Dwan aka Durrrr. After that, Patrik Antonius took on isuldur1 and won the largest pot in online history off of him and about 2.5 million. Viktor wasn’t discouraged at all, the next evening he not only played Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonus, but added Phil Ivey to the mix, playing all of them on a total of 8 screens at once! Phil Ivey took over a million off of isildur1 in a couple of hours. Patrik and Durrrr both lost money off of him but were gaining ground back. Viktor is relentless, hyper aggressive, and capable of making 15k calls with K high on scary boards. Viktor is playing millions of hands, and is sure to become a dominating force in poker. Viktor Blom aka isildur1 is sure to get signed by a major poker room over the next couple of months.
Favorite Move: Overbet
Second Favorite move: bluff reraise all in on river weak, or air. Only small % of time reraise all in river strong.
