Plays like this prove more than anything that poker is a skill game and not a luck game. Can't see the same players banging so much winnings on the rolette for example. Isildure1 is truly a great player that keeps winning for very long time. He had his ups and downs but truly is an amazing player.

He is a good player, no doubt about that. And his accomplishment now, is over the top, winning three titles in one tournament series. But with three titles he has won, the total prize money is about 1.5 million. Not that impressive money wise

It's been a long time since i've heard of the Swedish player but now he won 3 tournaments and looks like a formidable player again. His good period was rarer after what he was no longer vip pokerstars but now he proves once again that he is Isildur1.

Well, I first heard of poker setting Kenny Rogers as the gambler on TV in the early 80s, so don't know about you but I'm definitely old. It's funny how the five cards game looks so naive and unsophisticated in comparison to today's Texas Holdem. So little variations, unless you have cards in your sleeves obviously.

Well, I can do a better offer to that guy (I be lost: Haxton or Isildur?). Here in Argentina, have not to pay any taxes to play poker as a professional. Not special taxes to poker, only to his normal income. I could make some procedures and arrangements here to his radication. I only need a few free lesson of Texas Holdem...hahaha. And some nationalist fanatics could think in give to him a little flag to put in his stack!

Viktor Blom remains a formidable player, even though poker is not as wild as it was 10 years ago. I remember how much money was in online poker and what huge pots were won. Poker is played much more closely and professional players are more careful.

I don´t know CALICUL, do you think that in the past the amount of the prizes was more big than now? I think that now the poker have more in all of the categories: poker´s rooms, players, tournaments, prizes, etc. For that reason (more in all) I´m agree with you about the professionalism of the players and what hard was becoming the field to play now.

In the past, Full Tilt and Pokerstars had the biggest pots. There were hundreds of thousands players on both sites. Some players like Viktor Blom were so insistent that they ran a lot of money in every day. I have not seen in recent years for professionals to juggle money but in that period yes.
