Isildur1 confuses me to death. Last night he was playing Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey and Durrrr all at once.
Results:
Patrik Antonius schools Isildur at Omaha NL. Seriously. He bought in with $200,000 and I went to play a few SNGs and saw PA's chips at $1.6 million. Isildur makes a lot of crazy bluffs (he bet his whole buy in on 2 pair HU Omaha NL with a sick board like Ac Qc 10c 4d 7c) and Patrik Antonius is good enough to call him most of the time he's full of it.
Ivey grinds it out with Isildur in Hold'em NL. I watched on and off for about an hour and Ivey was up $100,000, lots of back and forth as once again Isildur makes huge bluffs that Ivey can only sometimes call.
Dwan is a durrrr. He probably lost another half million to Isildur. They would basically bust one another's stacks every 5 minutes (they both play like lunatics) and then rebuy at another table, but from what I was watching Isildur was getting the best of him.
A common hand for Isildur vs any pro:
Isildur posts 500 / Pro posts 1000
Isildur raises to $3000
Pro calls
Flop (some lame uncoordinated board)
Isildur checks
Pro bets $5000
Isildur calls
Turn (another useless card)
Isildur checks
Pro checks
River (omg scare card!!!)
Isildur checks
Pro bets $20,000
Isildur bets $250,000 and is all-in!
Pro has requested time...
(Somebody loses a quarter million, you decide who)
I dont know if any of you guuys saw my post about the future of online poker (but it was inspired by isildur)
anyways. its this exact type of comment that makes me wonder, could isildur be a group, or a makeshift company.
a group of guys who have studied the top llevels for a while, data mined the hell out of durrr, got funding, and now are trying out their "perfect style" vs durrr and the like.
I mean, isildur could be losing to ivey and PA because they figure if it works vs durrr, maybe it works vs most pro's.
Online poker has opened up a totally new and different can of worms from its origins as a card game in casino's.
Think about, only online poker lets you watch multiple tables of any limit, only online poker gives you easy access to record all the hands other players play.
Only online poker lets you play as a group behind your monitor without anyone knowing,
and only online poker allows you total random identity protection.
its a new day
