I thought it had been revealed that Isildur1 is Viktor Blum?
It's going to remind me of that show that FOX had that reveals magicians secrets w/ that dude that wears a mask, "as to not reveal his identity".

Isn't it in bad form to stake a player for a game that you will be sitting in on?
I dunno for sure but I'd assume that'd be the case. I wouldn't like that if I was one of the other players.

Tilly has been doing this for years. I don't think people would really care. Whatever it takes to get Jennifer in the game.

FYPAlso, how big is this game going to be. 25-50? 200-400? Most of the people listed don't play legitimately high stakes cash games except laak when he super nits it up on HSP once a year. There was a british cash game show a year ago or so that was 25-50 with some of these same players on it and it was painfully boring.

I'm surprized he agreed to do this after not revealing his name for so long.
