you have to take off the hat and applaud it
is unique, plays with courage, you have ups and downs, but his style leads him to have more high

Let's see when he is down 500k in Feb if everyone says he sucks :)

I'm not saying he does, but these large swings do happen with the big dogs.

Victor Blom especializes more on NL Holdem. In terms of High stake, heads up, many are good and blom is one of them. They play courage poker maybe because they have back up bankrolls.

But live tournaments is different from online heads up game the so called online pros are playing. I think I would consider the best, base on live tourney winnings/collection of bracelets.

How do we know that he is really down? Most online high stakes players do not only play online so we cant jump to conclusions based on just online stats. Gus Hansen is down 13 million in online poker but I would still consider him a good player due to his live accomplishments and the fact that he still is rumored to play very high stakes live games.

I would not consider those accolades when classifying the overall best players. A lot of the best players play high stakes cash games because they are more profitable then tournaments. We have probably not even heard of a lot of the best players in the world.

Viktor is so sick! All natural talent, he's never read a poker book or anything.

He is a very good player and he is fun to watch because of his style. What I like best about him is that he will sit with anybody. Probably, also why his bankroll is so volatile.

He's really talented and young poker player. It's impossible to say : who is the best in the world. But In my opinion Blom is the craziest nosebleed-player from all over the word. He can earn 500K $ per day, and lost all this money another day . But only ,,crazy" ( in good meanings) player can be on a top ;)

There is no doubt he is unique but good - I am not so sure. He plays a game that I would suggest few of us can relate to.

He is a beast.
I remember watching him on fulltilt multi tabling against the "best" nosebleed players on the site. People forget that there was some sort of collusion between Hastings, South, and Townsend with hand histories and Blom getting chopped up for 4+ million dollars.

Heh yeah. Used to fall asleep watching those games, wake up the next morning to catch up with 10+ unread pages of the High Stakes thread on 2p2. $1m+ pots, seven figure swings... So good
