Isildur1 is running out of money

Tags: full tilt poker, high stakes, isildur1, who is isildur1, whos isildur1.
Posted on 14 December 2009 by "T".

The losing streak continues for the unknown Swede after that he lost another 400k+ last night to Brian Townsend at Full Tilt. Isildur1 played many tables as usual in last nights session, however, he didn't bring in any more chips to the tables he lost on, and when he went broke on a table, he just closed it down. This is nothing Isildur1 ever has done before, and because of it, many people believe that Isildur1 is running out of money and that its just a matter of time before he disappears from the high stakes scene.

The man behind the nickname "Isildur1"
Many people who have followed the unknown Swede for some time now strongly believes that Viktor Blom is the man behind the nickname "Isildur1". And many pros that have played against Isildur1 thinks the same, even though Viktor Blom already has denied that he's Isildur1. Whoever Isildur might be, he will surely be missed by thousands of people if he stops playing for high stakes.

Someone reveal his identity. Wouldn't be surprised if it it's the pope. Cool

I never cease to be amazed at how these players blow HUGE amounts of money in so little time and somehow they manage to get back on their feet and win HUGE amounts to be back in the game...if I had those skills, I'd be only once on the high money, take it all out, invest and retire in some little polynesian island...never to touch a card again

All of these uber aggressive players ride the rollercoaster and eventually crash Isildur, Dwan(currently crashing), Zigmund(soon to crash) as well as others. I think the key to their successes and failures so far has been that they play so bad they look good(for a little while anyways).
Even Brunson has a little contempt for this type of new poker pro.

Isildur ist just a Attentionwhore who doesent really care about his Bankroll, really sick cause he konws to play but doesnt know when to stop ;(

@Turbo

Of cause we can only guess, but which unknow player has had a bankroll of +5 million to donk off? Why does he play lower? Why does he no longer reload when stacked at a table?

250k down for the last day again.

I keep on thinking it's only merchandising, very well organized but merchandising.Lots of people ( including Full Tilt pro's ) are talking about this outstanding one but nobody knows it and every evening many people watch on high stakes on Full Tilt.
 pziko198615/12/2009 09:35:06 GMT
I don't think that Isuldur1 is an attentionwhore like others said previously. If he was, he would reveal his identity, but he wants to remain 'unknown' instead.

How many hands have we seen from Isuldur1? We can't say he got an amazing talent, because we just started noticing him when he rocked high stakes at fulltilt.

On the other hand we CAN say that there must be a reason why he is playing at those stakes with millions. If he got the skills to grind his way up to that kind of stakes, he must have skill. But I don't understand why you would move up in blinds if you are losing at those stakes, while you seem to be kick-ass playing a bit lower?

We can talk about it for hours and for days, but in the end, all we talk about is FullTilt. Good job FT, nice publicity stunt!
 ZmxPowah15/12/2009 10:02:36 GMT
He lost even with Townsend! It must be end of Isildur for sure...
Maybe he will be back for some time but everyone know his game now... and everyone win with him now... sad.
Farewell! Micro stakes w8 for you , after 20 years we want you back!
 river_mantel15/12/2009 10:46:36 GMT

I will start by quoting my self from #21:

He is unknown to us but that doesn't mean he is an unknown pokerplayer, in theory it could be be Ivey multi accounting.

5 mill where do you get that number from? According to tracker sites he is down 2,6 mill.

"Why does he play lower? Why does he no longer reload when stacked at a table?"

I will quote my self again from #21:

Obv it looks like he is broke or close to but as long as we don't know who he is we can only guess and the same goes for you.

Yep. Looks so.

But with those "Ivey multi accounting" thing the turbo has run out of fuel.
 B1gfoot15/12/2009 20:08:15 GMT
Personally I dont see 2-3 mill as a huge loss at HS, if he was willing to play there then id guess he has a buffer, tilting that quick he might think ok ill lay off HS for a while re coop a bit and try again.

@doomdy

I don't see it as a fight but as a debate/discussion but apperently shokaku sees it as a fight Confused Im affraid he couldn't handle me correcting him in this thread:

http://www.bankrollmob.com/forum.asp?mode=thread&id...


@shokaku

Ahh come on you can't say im running out of fuel when you don't answer and your post #28 was a ring post that didn't bring anything new to the discussion and was all answered in #21. That was a swing and a miss Mr shokaku.

Taking my words out of context is very mature of you Thumbs Up (2nd time in this thread)

We both know the "Ivey multi accounting" was an example for you that Isildur1 could be anyone. The example was made because you had a problem with understanding that Isildur1 is unknown to us but that doesn't mean he is an unknown pokerplayer. That was a swing and a miss Mr shokaku.


@B1gfoot

I think you are right, on the 0,5K/1K they mostly buy-in deep(200BB's) so 2 mill is 10BI's which aren't much when playing 5-10 tables HU against the worlds poker elite.

Ok, Turbo i try one last time to talk serious to you.
At the turn the rivercard is "unknown" to us, but as a poker player we know, that the chances of one type of hand winning are higher than of others.

And what do you think is more likely that Isildur? A longshot like "Ivey multi accounting" and "Guy on a new level after his space travel" or a young player, who goes after the big win, like this Blom guy did at Ipoker before?

Of cause we can't be 100% sure, but will you restrict this forum to bulletproof statements?
 doomdy15/12/2009 21:09:38 GMT
Allmost Xmas, Kiss and make up please Agree
 M3turbo15/12/2009 21:41:43 GMT
Hehe you try one last time....can you say I try for the first time Aww crap!

M3 running out of fuel damn that was a cheap shot from a desperate man. You didn't answer me and didn't bring anything new to discussion just a meaningless personal troll attack.

The debate would run alot smoother if you read my answers and perhaps started to answer instead of this one way conversation where I answer you.

"And what do you think is more likely that Isildur? A longshot like "Ivey multi accounting" and "Guy on a new level after his space travel" or a young player, who goes after the big win, like this Blom guy did at Ipoker before? "

OMG you are slow, the "Ivey multi accounting" was an extreme example because you had a problem with understanding that Isildur1 is unknown to us but that doesn't mean he is an unknown pokerplayer. How many NL5K-NL60K players do you think got a bankroll of a couple of millions+....that's right ALOT and how many of them do you know....that's right 0 and how many of them do you think is young....that's right ALOT.

I have said from the start that I believe it is Viktor Blom and I still believe that despite him refusing it. I followed Viktors prior rockets before Isildur1 existed and before you had even heard of the guy.

"Of cause we can't be 100% sure, but will you restrict this forum to bulletproof statements?"

No you can write all the BS you want and I will correct you. As a pokerplayer I will never call a probability a fact and neither should you imo.

well...it seems he's back. I saw him last night at FT, but he has gone back to playing 100/200 HENL. Maybe he's realised Omaha is just not his game

I hope that for him cause he was bleeding money in most PLO games Shock
 SuperNoob17/12/2009 22:28:19 GMT
we don't know who he is but if he keeps losing like this and has/will apparently runs out of money then surely we'll never know who he was and he'll disappear from poker scene like martonas
 PatrickHenry07/01/2010 09:14:20 GMT
hahahahaha reveal urself ill loan u a million
 Pjot07/01/2010 09:20:39 GMT
Somebody has probably already written this, but the reason isildur is never going to reveal himself, is that the swedish taxlaws says that you have to pay tax for all pokerwinnings outside of the EU. Full Tilt is based in the US, i belive.

Revealing himself would, thus, be an EV- move, in the long run.
 DaneMitic07/01/2010 09:36:06 GMT
The only way to get him broke is to KILL him.
