yeah i've been watching this guy go heads up against durrr, phil ivey, and patrick antonious. This has got to be a pro. Theres no way a regular joe has just turned 2k into 4 million buy playing these types of players this guy has to know what he's doing. I mean he's beating up on durrr like nobodys business.

Looks like they both just cashed out and took the money off of the tables then bought back in at 4 different tables - Isildur 200k at each table and Brian bought in short - 100k at each table.
Any idea why they would do this? Also, why would Brian by back in short?

I usually buy in short at micro stakes 6 handed to prevent the insane amount of donks from bad beating me out of the full buy in amount early on in the game. If I was playing a "real" player I can't see an advantage of buying in short other than the fact that you wouldn't be comfortable with your opponent's playing style.

To be honest I think the strategy is ENTIRELY to tilt Isildur1.
Because most of these guys live to play deep. That's where the game is hardest, and that is where the action is.
Isildur does not like short stack play and he does not like few tables.
It is odd that they would agree to go south and then keep on playing. Certainly Townsend wouldn't just go south without them working it out first?!? I spose the nosebleed guys have IM too.
Oh to hack those networks.

I dont know the true identity of islidur but i think this guy is freakin sweet. Nobody knows exactly who it is but he has been dominating the cash tables and making durrrr look like an amateur. Whoever he really is hopefully he keeps the heater going. Lets just hope he isnt cheatin somehow.

TonyG knows who he is Viktor “Blom90” Blom

Isildur1: 15 mins

Looking forward to seeing this guy play live, maybe on the new season of HSP. Would be crazy to see him, Dwan, Ivey, Zig, Eli and Sammy play a session together. That would be the sickest game ever...hell...throw in Jamie Gold too.

AQ8 rainbow board -Pot limit omaha.
Brain Townsend and Isildur1.
Just saw sick pot where Isildur bet pot ($160k),
townsend sat out at all other 3 tables making decision.
He called, turn was 10d, making 2 diamonds on board.
Isildur bet pot again, but Brain just had like 40k$ behind and called.
Isildur1 showed KJ910 two diamonds and current nut straight.
Brian showed J8910 for two pair and straight draw.
River plops 8 and Brain drags the 500K+ pot.
Sick Sick Sick.
Railers were saying Brain sucked out, but I imagine on flop he was thinking that Isildur was possibly betting a straight draw, and that his current pair of 8's was good, + he had the gutshot as well, Crazinesssssssssss.

100K isn't buyin in particularly 'short'... it's still 100bb's deep which is actually the max. buyin on a typical online table.

Read Tony's blog again - paticularly the comments at the bottom. The only thing he confirms is that it's his opinion that it's Blom. There's every chance it really is him, but it's not confirmed just because Tony G wrote it in a blog.
