You're welcome guys.
Hopefully Isildur1 doesn't bust all his winnings at limit games so we can have more NLHE and PLO action to rail :D

He lost a bunch (I think 300k?) at O8 vs Sallywoo and a bit vs Phil Galfond at 2-7 ad O8 (not sure how much exactly but I think around 150k) and took another 150k from Sauce one tabling him at PLO 250/500 in a short session.

He is up $5.1mil this year alone. Adding his winnings from dec 2012, he is up $5.6mil (up over $6mil since his lowest point) for maybe a total of 15 days of effective play

wowwwwww been away and just caught wind of all this.. stellar

thanks for your contributions BadGone

he busted everyone, nobody can afford to play him anymore!

in all seriousness its interesting that ben86, jungleman and ivey have not played him yet.

-ben86 had a big year last year, is #2 this year (been avoiding isildur) and plays like a hybrid of isildur/sauce. would be a very good match.

-jungleman is apparently very good at HUPLO now, but even if hes a top 25 player in the world in that i doubt he would feel comfortable playing against viktor. but in NL it would be pretty equal. maybe he just dont want to deal with the variance or is worried because hes been buried by isildur in the past

-ivey is usually the end big boss. hes a beast at every single game. i will never forget this, but back in late 2007 when patrik antonius was considered the best big bet player in the world, one of my best friends Genius28 started battling him HU. Chris murdered Patrik. I believe he won like 30 buyins off him in a few sessions and really did not think patrik was at the level of other top players. found him easy to play/adjust to. then chris went on to play ivey a few times and said that ivey played every hand perfect. his ranges were always balanced, he value bet hard, he was tricky and chris felt like ivey was readjusting faster than he was. Chris initially beat ivey out of 2-3 buyins at 500/1k then lost i think 5 back before quitting him. sure it was a small sample of HU, but he had played him in 6max games as well and was very very impressed by ivey.

now this was at a time where ivey was considered a beast mixed game player and a capable NL/PLO player but not one of the best. Ivey went on to be the 2nd or 3rd biggest winning PLO player online, with the bigger winners playing far more hands than him. He was by far the biggest bb/100 winner at HSPLO on full tilt. Not to mention he was also the biggest HORSE winner online. And he recently busted oogee's roll in 2-7. ivey is very good at all the games viktor is playing and i fully expect him to take a shot at him soon. most likely in o8

i'd love to see isildur vs ivey. or maybe a 50k hand challenge between jungleman and isildur.

it's pretty crazy that isildur almost exclusively plays top 10 hu regs, drops tons of cash learning new games and still manages to come out as the biggest winner.

I think Jungleman and isildur1 are pretty tight/been hanging out together plenty in the past 2 years so I'm not sure they are willing to have millions $ swings vs each other.

Isildur dropped like 1.1M last 4 hours

playing mostly Galfond in PLO
