Isilidur I have heard through the grapevine is down over 500K at PS this year. So I gather PS must be giving him money. The night before he played DN in the showdown he lost 463K and then lost the match the next day. This probably explains his rude exit once the match was over. DN typed this is three different times *** we all know what that means. Just an update on the Swede. The kid no doubt shook up online poker but I swear if I ever lost $7 Million I want to shoot myself. Darn all he had to do was take 6 Million or 6 1/2 million out and bank it and he be set. If he won all that money on 2K I think he could win some more with 500K in his account.

Of cause Poker Stars will give him money. But i doubt it will be $500k a year. But that kid has no sense for money anyway. Online it is just to easy to view it as playmoney.

crazyhorse99,i think if you play as much as the pros do, your gonna go through a few very bad times. I have been playing real live games here in town for over 35 years. I recently started playing on-line about 5 months ago. Its very different than having the players in front of you,i will say that for sure. Ofcourse the freerolls are fun,but players play looser than a strecthed out p***y. I think the money games are much more like it should be,(less donks),but playing with real people in front of you is the s**t. Anyway, dur is one of my favs,& he will turn it around i am sure. good luck to you in the future.

I'm in no way saying these guys don't play a lot and go up and down and have good swings and bad swings that happens to all of the pros plus it's poker. I simply said he is losing money at PS that's all. Like Gus Hansen is unstoppable now winning over 4 Mil this year. And sure playing live poker is better then online poke I have played my share also. And FR's you don't spend a penny so players call anything. I just lost a hd in a FR A4 to A6 two A's on board and he gets a 6 on river go figure.If they payed to play like a $30 buyin or whatever they play a whole different way. And what Isilidur did no way I could ever accomplish that I just thought it was a little insane to not save most of that money I know if I put 2K in and had that luck I sure in the hell would of cashed out 6.5 Mil. If he won 2.2 mil on 2K I think he do just fine with 500K in BR. I hear what your saying and best of luck to you at the tables and Davoodoo tyvm for the music after I wrote that I thought about that song lol.

I do not know what *** means.....A little help? I agree though as well if I went on a run that good I definately would've pulled a few million back for savings and investments!
