As Tom Dwan went to Twitter looking for the legendary Isildur1 but got intercepted by Jungleman Dan Cates instead, it turns out the Swedish poker sensation was deep in an underground app €2/5 PLO game!
Viktor "Isildur1" Blom was in an uncapped game, trying to run it up against some super-stacked opponents on the Pokio app.
From the looks of it, the game is quite serious. Blom joined the P[...] Read more » Isildur1 Spotted Playing Underground €2/5 PLO Game

each one chooses who to play with, at this point the level of many has changed, they prepare better, that's why they play with people less prepared to be profitable, now we see that this is still in force with clandestine and unknown applications.

To be honest, these games are only for their interest because they play with their money, and if someone wants to make a summary that is exposed to the public it would be very good. I wouldn't waste time watching something like this except in a short film. I wish them success and that's it.

Everyone can play with their money anywhere, I think that should generate more profits because he plays with many recreational players and he peels them, but they should promote recognized poker rooms and not applications that at any time can disappear, there are many worse careful huh.

There are many players who seem to have disappeared because we do not see them in the known poker rooms, but they are in other rooms doing theirs, they will always be playing but against the worst to win, now there are very few professionals who have the steel eggs to face each other in big bets, that if they are worth gold.

I spot him on pokio games too. It was debate months ago in one of the poker forums if he is broke or why hi is playing so low for him. Some says that hi is playing even lower in some other sites and that this is becouse some law that he can't deposit larger amounts of money and is just playing by bankroll managment. How much is truth i don't know. One thing i know he will always be a legned at least for us who start playing almost decade ago.

I don't know what happens with this professional player, because in pokerstars his last tournament was on 12/21/2018. A High Roller Club: $ 1,050 Daily Cooldown [8-Max, Turbo, Progressive KO], $ 90K Gtd. I didn't research in other poker rooms, maybe has another name but it is no longer active as in previous years. However, players have falls or climbs but Isildur1 remains a professional.

I do not think this player is ruined, many professional players play 1000 euro ticket tournaments, for example we have adrian mateos a big one, who sometimes I see him play in winamx tournaments of 530 dollar tickets, I think they are not stupid, they know how to take care of their bank, and that does not mean that they are bankrupt.

These players have a lot of money, and they are capable of generating money because they have earned it, but if there are cases that have been ruined by not knowing how to take care of their bank, but these players I think not, isildur is one of my favorites, he is a craks.

I didn't say he was bankrupt, but maybe he was upset with that poker room. I don't know his results from Unibet, but 10 years ago he was a shark that devoured poker tables. Isildur1 certainly has some money, if he can play with professionals. We will find out some results after that.

i remember like probably any other online poker player, years ago, that he was the most ''famous'' on online PS and players start choosing his nickname as new acconts . I couldn t give a sh1t back then , i don t know why i would now .My gues is that he was pushed up by platform ....poker was in a big controvercy and needed publicity

He is a great player, I believe that the essence of a crack is not lost, he can play in any room and at the level that seems most comfortable to him, but it does not mean that he is ruined, there are stories of players who have been ruined, but I think this player is still normal.

We will continue to see it on other platforms of course, the players are changing, there are some who are retiring, others who are, the most important thing is that new poker references are emerging and those of the past will remain in our memories, now to enjoy.

I noticed one thing at Isildur1. He started playing more live and less online poker. He has money don't worry about that, because is not the player from the past, who played to win millions or lose everything. In the meantime, he learned what it means to calculate personal money or bankrolls from poker rooms.

he may have learned some new things in all those years of playing live , there is definetely other experience then online but is in his power to apply whats good for him . I gues at this point he should try to have constancy ,have a healty live and not abuse The game . Most pros do so and it shows good results.

Pokio is the new project, In the Assopoker version, its characteristics attracted the attention of Blom, who adopted it as one of his reference rooms, now he is a paid ambassador for the room. Good luck in your new project and may it be successful.

it's interesting with this Pokio, but i have no idea if they will be successful. I realized that investing in new poker rooms will not bring big profits, because they will not find customers. The market has enough rooms, and poker is poorer with few million players than 7-8 years ago.

Those clandestine rooms are difficult to trust, because you don't know when they close and bye your money from so long you've played, it doesn't have anything to support, but there are many people who still play in those rooms.

I haven't checked how many customers Pokio has at the moment, but I don't think it's cladestin as long as there are many people who have the courage to deposit there and to play for real money. Isildur1 is an extra guarantee, but I see solid poker rooms that have few players in tournaments. This means that online poker in these rooms has run out of players, because they migrated to other rooms. In this way it is difficult to make money with few players everywhere.

He is a great player and I think he is making a lot of money playing with some novice players, but the incredible thing that he is playing with a low stack and his opponents, one of them with a stack of 18000, makes me think many things about isildur but hey, continue to be a great player.
