i seriously doubt the J6xx hand from isuldur was a bluff (where hastings has 75dd). He does alot of very thin valuebetting and i think this one qualifies as such

Tell me what u think of this notion and feel free to call be a fucking donk fool for it….lol or provide some useful opinion, but I feel that Isildur is very similar to Martonas, maybe not the same player but the same staker. Martonas was supposedly Jonas Danielsson backed by Martin De Knijff, but that plan went to shit real soon and Martonas crashed at 2.5m and disappeared. Almost within two weeks, Isildur showed up a FTP and started playing 25/50 before hitting the nosebleeds. I bet Isildur is just Martin De Knijff staking another top Swedish player like Viktor Blom or something. Big theory I know. But if you remember back when Martonas started he went right to the rail heaven games, but maybe this time Martin wanted a little bit of a trial run at 25/50 before he sent his player to the top. Whatever the identity Isildur, without a doubt, he is one of the best NL HU player it the world. But I bet the reason he was able to crush Dwan so bad was the hand histories he was able to study from the old Martonas account.

Amen to that

Also…to everyone thinking this is a FTP marketing stunt. Can I ask how all this fake action would bring people in? You really think some new fish are gonna wanna start playing cuz some guy lost 7 mill in like 20 days? LOL…Shit…if anything those kinda stories keep gambling noobs away from poker thinking the game will only end up with you going broke. Plus to all the people who even care about all this high stakes online shit, FTP knows that if your following than they’re probably all ready getting your rake LOL

Like, there is a reason that both Antonius and Hastings denied NL action against him. Joke@everyone that thinks this was a ftp stunt

Isildur is obviously a person. And he beats Durrrr because he pwns him NL, as he does against everyone. It is a reason that all the other FTP pros denied to play him NL….
Too bad Isildur1 didn’t stick to NL. My guess is that he will be back in a couple of months time waiting on NL for some of the other “good” players. Durrrr and Ivey obviously crush all the other people on 500/1k because none of the other ones there are good NL players.

25/50 players on stars would have an edge in the 500/1k games on ftp, as long as Durrrr, Ivey and Antonius isn’t sitting in. Isildur1 is beyond any discussion the best HU-NL player at this point and will continue crushing Durrrr over time if they continue playing 500/1k NL only…

Haha funny trolls. Let’s sign Durrr with FTP and then set his roll on fire via a marketing stunt.

Please don’t use MM to mean million. M makes much more sense, MM is ambiguous and is not used to mean million in most of the world.
