Isildur1 probably doesn't need a closer presentation since he was the most talked-about person in the end of 2009 thanks to the millions of dollars he won and lost in no-time. Anyhow, we all know that Isildur1 ended up losing everything he had won, and also that he lost about 2 million dollars from his own bankroll.

You can be very very good, but there is no way, you got to manage your bankroll, that's needed as a poker player. If he can't do this, he can't be one of the best

Good I hope he doesn't make a come back. he obviously couldn't handle those sort of stakes, He was obviously out classed and out punched. He thought he was some kind of "poker Don" but he was just a flash in the pan. Laters Isidur.

building bankroll takes time, no matter how much skilled you are unless you get lucky. though he must be having some money at other sites, think he'll wait for fulltilt to sort out tht townsend case before moving more money here

Anyone know how he is going now? I think he sold the account for some cash... or something... playing so low stakes? Even with the looses i am sure he can play higher.

Posted by Bainbridge: he is only 19... i think he needs to mature and see what the world is all about because he got greedy and didnt control his game. when you dont control yourself playing poker thats just a death wish.
poor guy, had it not because of some con he would have still played at high stakes...

online poker is full cheats, there is a lot going on that u dont wanna know about. people always calling with 2.nd or 3.rd pair when u try making a bluff is pretty suspicious i think. i won 50 000 dollars cashing, just to slowely get sooked out every big pair i get to suited river hitters... i ve stopped playing, only tourneys from now on. dont belive it anymore, friends chatting on the side, taking on 1 or 2 players , 4 friends sitting at the same table 3/6 5/10 and such, be aware guys and gl
poor guy, had it not because of some con he would have still played at high stakes...
