He needs to win at least one bracelett.
Rui Cao? That is the kid, who thinks he has an edge against Antonius after dropping $800k to him! Looks like he thinks he is better than he actually is.

nah man stars is rigged ffs
this rui cao guy i dont really know who he is but seen a thread hes up $1.7mill on stars so i think he must be pretty decent and losing $800k was prob just a couple of buy ins at that game so i would not be so quick to shoot a guy down because you have not heard much about him as i doubt he won $1.7 mill of a bunch of fish

sponsoring viktor blom has been one of the top moves of pokerstars, sure hes inconsistent but he has gained great publicity for them. and his result of 8 wins outa 10 shows how dominant he is in headsup

As always i need to agree supernoob, pokerstars made an absolutely excellent move by siging a contract with Viktor Blom aka Isildur1
Although he needs to learn a lot more about poker, in fact not poker strategy of different games but simply things like bankroll management, etc. Now he has a safety net which is pokerstras it's a bit even more loose than before if you ask me.
I saw he played at eight tables today, but i needed to go so i didn't got the time to see how he plays, but i saw he lost a massive 67.000 dollars pot to Sauce from Canada.....
