do you know who Isildur1 is?

Hey Everyone,

The identity behind one of Full Tilt Pokers New High Stakes Player is still a big mystery. All I know is that he is 23 years old, and from sweden...

some say he is the owner of IKEA, others say it's a pro named Bloom...
no one knows for sure...

who ever he is, he has been spanking the Full Tilt Pros left and right at the high stakes games....

who do you think this pro is?

-There are like 4-5 threads on the subject already.
-No one knows.
-Lock?

Viktor Blom.

tony g confirmed it in one of his blogs.

Thanks for the link coolnout. Very well writtenand thought out post by Tony G. It's interesting that a guy with a publicly volatile image speaks so fondly of other (non Tony G Poker) sites and speaks so passionately about control, discipline and giving back to the poker community.

Lol at Tony G's blog. 'Outing' Blom is such a douche move. And this is just dumb

I think Full Tilt needs to kill the big games, with the biggest being 100-200

Seriously, Dwan and Ivey would be bored out of their minds playing 100-200, they should be able to play whatever stakes they want. Such a stupid idea and I can't respect his outing Bloom if that is indeed who it is.

Frankly, they wouldn't be bored out of their minds, they just wouldn't play

Yeah, if Full Tilt cut the nosebleeds, some other site would gladly pick up the action. How can he even say its supposed to be a fun hobby? This is what they do for a living.

Note that in the comments at the bottom Tony G confirms it's only his opinion that Isildur is Viktor Blom. He's not saying anything for certain.

Tong G is a legend.

Indeed. We should all be so lucky as to feel his powah.

He's done a really great job building PokerNews as well.

News to me

I did not even know who Tony G was until now much less this Isildur1 person. Guess they are good for poker though.

No one knows who they are, mostly just mythical figures like santa clause. We just believe there is a Tony G and isildur.
