Opinions to come on this Isildur1 character and this ridiculous action that he is giving/getting to all comers including the newest Full Tilt Pro durrrr.
________________________________________
Ok, so I am back to give some quick thoughts on durrrr vs. Isildur1. Speculative information that we know of:
-Swede Viktor Blom "Blom90" on iPoker (Euro Site) has been outed by Ziigmund et al.
-At one point during the month of November he was up close if not above $6 Mirrion.
-At the end of November he was listed to be up only over $1M.
-The majority of his profits came from newly inked Full Tilt Pro Tom "durrrr" Dwan.
-PTR & High Stakes DB tracked Isildur1 to have taken roughly $5M from Dwan.
-A few months back there was a new kid at the nosebleeds, "Martonas' also a Swede has been rumored to be Isildur1's neighbor; w/e if for some reason this is true that is a bad play by these two. It would be hard to imagine that no information was passed between the two.
All that information as side the railtards, me included have been watching this intermittently. And as I am writing this right now Isildur1 and durrrr are 6-tabling 300/600 with Isildur1 up about 1.2 on the day taking close to $900k from Brian Townsend and is up about $150k on durrrr. Soooo ridiculous.
More speculation has been put on the amount that durrrr has lost than anything else and the validity of the tracking sites. I would have to think that they are quite accurate because so few players can play that high it would be hard for them to miss a hand. No one really knows what is the state of durrrr's BR and what his deal w/ FTP entails, but whether or not he had all of himself in the last matches vs. Isildur1 the $5M has got to hurt somewhat.
Short history of Isildur:
He first appeared on FTP in October playing 25/50 and ran up his BR a good amount then sat down w/ Patrik, Gus, Degenamine, CTS, Haseeb Quershi, Phil Galfond. Then he proceeded to absolutely facefuck durrrr in both PLO and NL for $5M+.
All that aside this last month has been historic for FTP and the online poker world.
Since his downswing Isildur1 has been rumored to be broke; that is probably not true. And if he keeps up what is going on right now he will finish the day up more that 1M.
On the other side of things for durrrr he has since comeback a little bit winning roughly $2M in the 7-game and 200/400 PLO and 300/600 NL.
Many people have thought that durrrr should move back down and rebuild a little bit which he has done quite nicely.
__________________________________________
As I just typed, this here is the chat posted at the end of their NL session:
Isildur1: i am to tired to play 36 now
durrrr: i have 45min more
durrrr: les play here for that?
Isildur1: i can play 5001k
Isildur1: any game
durrrr: k
durrrr: come 5001k plo
Isildur1: k
durrrr: jus 45min hto
Isildur1: ok
So they are 6-Tabling 500/1000 PLO. How is that for BR management Mr. Ferguson.

11/22: Atlantic City
So, the warmup forum trip has come and gone. Good night Atlantic City, you're beautiful. Actually it was. Really, I had my preconceptions about what the East Coast in particular AC was going to look like, and I was completely wrong/
I didn't see the troves of Italians cursing, profuse smokers, and that annoying Jersey accent (sorry Deuce) was drowned out buy the mass of opulence that was the Borgata Poker Room. 85 tables all going at the same time, awesome.
A quick thanks to Shabba for picking Nik and I up in Philly, chauffeuring us to AC, and the return trip was equally appreciated.
So onto the live forum games. Well, what's new??? Shifty fucking owned as expected to the tune of about +8k. Shabba finished the trip up 2k. Rambler lucksacked his way to a great trip scoring +1.5k. Nik made $700. Deuce I think was down a little bit. Dennis was even. Loretta, well we all know what happened there he probably was the big winner imo.
And then there is me... I played NL for the first time live. It wasn't bad, or good for that matter. But I have to say that it is pretty slow moving as compared to limit, and for some people that is fine but I haven't got into it yet.
Summary and 1 HH.
7.5/15: -300
1/2 NL: -200
Pai Gow: -100
1/2 HA (Half NL, Half PLOrly): +600
Total: +/- Even :facepalm:
So the trip started out on a good note and I made about 200ish at 1/2NL, and then proceeded to give back that profit in the 67/CP Pink Chip Game to the tune of a $500 down. And Pai Gow is no good for me or Loretta for that matter.
So my trip came down to 1 hand that got me back to even. The CP/67 Crew made it back to Harrahs about 3:30 Friday Night and decided to get a mix game going. 1/2 HA, half hour rotations. Rambler decided to leave his tampon in and spectate being content w/ his 1.5k upswing for the trip instead donating to us obv :-)
I was needless to say playing pretty tight and was pretty card dead.
HH:
Shifty (covers)
Shabba ($275-ish)
Hero (&275-ish)is dealt KKJ7 double soooooted in hearts and spades
Nik (n/a)
Deuce SB (n/a)
Dennis BB (n/a)
Shifty - Pots UTG to 10, Shabba calls, Hero calls, Deuce calls, Dennis folds - ($40)
Flop: K89 (top set, all money is obv going in)
Checked to Shifty, who leads for 30, Shabba calls 30, Hero makes it 120 straight. Folds back to shifty, who effectively shoves me AI, Shabba calls, and I call all in.
Pot is now $800 and change.
With the cards turned up, Shifty shows 8976 for bottom 2 + a open ender, Shabba shows the low 13 card wrap, and I show top set w/ blockers.
So, the turn brings the 9 giving both Shify and I boats, Shabba is drawing dead. Leaving only 1 win in the deck that doesn't show up on the river.
I douche-ingly exclaim "Ship it all!!" and rake in a niiiiice pot to bring my trip back to even.
So that was AC; fun, fun, fun.
Later in the week I am gonna get into the carnage that has been endured by durrrr's bankroll, Isildur, Patrik, and Phil. Along with some small stakes musings from the Cap NL realm.
-Cheers
