Who is Isildur1?

#1 13th November 2009, 2:29 AM

I have enjoyed watching the unknown highstakes player who plays on fulltiltpoker.com as "Isildur1". A player that has seriously been underestimated by some of Full Tilt's top players such as Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and Cole South, as they all learned the hard way that this guy is NO FISH.

So, just who is this Isildur1?

I came across various blogs on the internet that say that Isildur1 is a Highstakes European online poker player named Viktor Blom. It is said that this guy turned 2k into 1.4 million in just 3 weeks in online poker. So if you ask me this Viktor Blom guy sounds a lot like Isildur1.

That's been discussed alot on 2+2 the last few days. Alot of people seem to think it's him, but no one really knows for sure. We may never know unless Isildur1 decides to out himself.

That jerk FULLFLUSH that use to play nose bleeds at FT warned everyone awhile back that he knew a young kid in Sweden that would eventually come to FT and destroy the high rollers.

Maybe the durrrr of Europe? Seems like this guy needs to play a lot more against durrrr and ivey before he gets some real credebility imo...the best of luck to him though, the nose bleeds can be a dangerous place

that is pretty impressive. But he must of jumped straight into the high stakes and got lucky...wish i could do that but i'd end up losing most of my BR then having to reload....which isnt much fun.

It will be interesting to see how he handles Mr. Variance. I don't have any ill will towards this person, but we have all seen the 'newest, hottest' players come.....and go.

Really? When is the last time you saw someone show up and CRUSH every pro he plays at FT on nose bleeds??

#12 14th November 2009, 10:14 AM

Want me to call Victor and ask? I have his number.

#13 14th November 2009, 11:17 AM

Im Sparticus, I mean Islidur.

How do ya figure? Curious.. have you watched him play? Do you know of his prior accomplishments on other sites up to this point? Do you know who he is? (perhaps it's another player 'multi-accounter'...who knows??).

Sure he's only played ~15,000 hands vs. Dwan so far but has won I believe just over $3mil from him (as of yesterday).. but it's been a steady incline. Dwan doesn't seem to be able to get the upperhand in any session they've played so far. Yes it's early, but I think as they adjust to him, he'll be adjusting to them, etc.

I don't think this guy's going bust at all.

..... never obviously

#16 14th November 2009, 5:50 PM

i watch isildur1 is a good player today play with antonius

#17 14th November 2009, 9:13 PM

isildur1 is a mystery. the first time i saw his name playing on full tilt i thought it would be another nick of tom dwan => isilDURRR^^

#18 14th November 2009, 10:55 PM

I agree....he is good whoever he is!

#19 15th November 2009, 1:12 AM

So where is the answer?
You have no proof who he really is so this topic is a waste of time.

I don't think he will continue to do as well as he is doing now but I definitely don't think he will go bust. When he started playing high stakes he might not have been properly rolled but after the amount of success he has had he certainly has more than enough roll to avoid going bankrupt when variance comes to bite him in the azz.

#21 16th November 2009, 3:34 AM

Well.. he continues to build - - just checked his stats. out again now.. and on TableRatings he now has a rating of "100" (<< I've never seen this before??)
He's up over $5.5mil now, +5.52bb/100 91,952 hands
A month ago Dwan was up over $9mil and TableRatings was preparing a $10mil badge for him, but now he has less profit than Isildur1 has.. and Isildur1's has been all from just one week of play (I think it's like 9 days now).
This guy is crushing!!

Perhaps by posting this thread, OP might here about more info. in regards to who this player really is.(??)
Maybe it's Tom Dwan multi-accounting & pllaying against himself HeadsUP (he doesn't have to pay rake anymore now that he's a Fulltilt pro and what a cool marketting tool..... especially when Tom makes the amazing comeback against himself & makes the other Tom go busto, LOL).

Don't get carried away now... I'm only joking around.

for everyone who plays ring, even 1c/2c at FT/others

#25 16th November 2009, 6:53 AM

Whoever he is, I'm very impressed. Can't wait till we can get him on High Stakes Poker. =) I have no doubt eventually he will come out in search of the glory.

#26 16th November 2009, 11:11 PM

Confirmed Scandinavian and he probably plays in a black metal band - it's obvious from the name, they done love naming themselves after people and places from Tolkien.

In fact, it's probably this guy:

#27 16th November 2009, 11:55 PM

Whoever it is he has a lot of talent and should not be taken lightly i can promise that much. I have watched hand histories of hundreds of hands between isildur1 and durrrr and it seems to me that isildur1 is actually winning the match so far. I will keep up with this interesting duel between these two great cardplayers and see how it goes, variance is such a big factor that we will have to wait a while before we see who is actually the better player.

#33 17th November 2009, 4:55 AM

how does this guy just come out of nowhere.. and no one see him coming?

#34 17th November 2009, 4:59 AM

he's a major Mafia man from sicilly, aged 54 with 9 kids and is a made man.
He's had extensive plastic surgery to make him drastically younger, and has training from Ivey and a Zen Buddhist*

*some, maybe all, of this might not be true

#35 20th December 2009, 5:22 AM

What are the chances he's doing something like that former Absolute Poker employee who cracked the security system and could see his opponent's hole cards?
