New High Stakes Phenomenon: Isildur1

[TomasJ]

Everyone has been speaking of the player who managed to rip $3,000,000 from Full Tilt Pro Tom Dwan and who has battled fiercely against the likes of Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius at the virtual high stakes table.

Currently, nobody knows for sure who Isildur1 is but everyone is definitely talking about him. Rumours are that he is a 19 year old poker player from Sweden but this has not been confirmed by the player himself.

It has been exciting to watch the games on Full Tilt and some fans and poker pros are starting to come up with comments on the matter. “I don’t know how deep these guys are, but I can’t imagine that both of them can continue to play for this kind of money for too long, especially if there aren’t some really bad players in the game.” said Tom Schneider.

Another one who expressed his opinion was Joe Sebok. “They are a different breed, for sure,” he says. “A lot of factors all combine to create these ‘super gamblers.’ There is definitely a lot of ego involved.” and he continued, “I think they are insane! I can’t imagine that I would ever play that high. I don’t think I would even want to [play at that limit] if I had unlimited bankroll. I just don’t have it at that high of a level. As I’ve said before, it takes an innate sick amount of gamble and I don’t have it at that level.”

Well now you know what some pros think about the sick gambling action going on at Full Tilt, what do you think?
