at the start of FTP, gus was a fish for a long time. he was too loose, too splashy, too cally, and just lost. after a couple of years everything clicked for him and he somehow became the biggest winner in the cap PLO games. he just figured it all out and murdered everyone. ftp went down, he didnt play that game for a couple years, ftp came back and he sucked worse than he did in the beginning. guy has no game selection and probably still thinks he can do what he did in late 2010 early 2011 and is just getting destroyed in PLO/deuce/everything

bttech turning it around. He is now up ~300k vs Isil
Isil added one NLHE CAP HU (500/1k) vs Saniker as well

EDIT: Isil quit both

they are back at it again

Isil is losing all back now: -800k so far

From what I've read (ONLY read so it doesn't mean all of it is true):

- Gus Hansen sold Poker champ website around 2005 or later for $15,000,000
- Was/Is a "world class" backgammon player (prior to playing poker) and rumored to have made shit loads of money playing it. But again, nobody knows how much he made from it but just as an example, I remember Gus Hansen didn't show up for the final day of the EPT Monte Carlo High Roller Event (25k buy-in) while he was still in because he was playing some rich russian at backgammon and was up 2mil+ against him.
- Obviously getting some moneyz for years from FTP since he had shares
- He had a +6mil upswing rush when black friday hit. So logically when FTP re-opened I assume he got his hands back on these 6mil$

insane..

insane..ly retarded

I'd be stressed to be his mother

Hopefully he's been persuaded to stick a couple of milly away to set himself up with a good baseline for the rest of his life, and then go bananas from there. Probably not the case though lol

no, he lost 1.7m, came back after more than 24hours and won 1.5m back, so overall still stuck 200k.

jesus! how is he going to pay his cab fare home!?

there is no more right and wrong at this point anymore, his BR flows whatever direction and speed the wind is going

I dont know if Isildur is genius or just huge degen

Every other week he has million dollar swings

those two arn't mutually exclusive

I saw Isildur build to 400.000$ earlier at 100-200 vs Durrr (1 tabling HU PLO)
