wow, Isildur1 is a aggressive player indeed, i mean imagine playing 500k through internet, it must take tons of courage and trust, together with loads of experience.. interesting to see there are "big" players around, maybe this sounds normal to you guys, sorry coz im still a newbie to gambling online..

i wouldn't be surprised if it is the same player as martonas, they did not play against each other or at the same time, right? and martonas also had a very aggressive style (and also lost money quickly). he wouldn't be the first highstakes player with more than one account (and i think full tilt has no problems with that, as long as he brings action to the highstakes).
Thats pretty sick to have that much money moving in & out. These players from Denmark/Sweden and the likes of, sometimes give me some real trouble with there very aggressive styles & i always end up winning big against them or losing big.

now and then an aggressive guy comes, has some fun for a little while then losses too much to return back to lowstakes. maybe they could try a bit less aggressive strategy and stay a bit longer
