Isil 3 barrels. Kanu folds to river big bet

isil 3 barrels big (river bets 23k into 26k) and Kanu calls down

Isil calls flop and turn and folds to tiny 6k bet into 17k pot river

[/url]

isil changed a lot
he folds a lot, stopped the overbets and when sauce joined his plo table he denied action coz of his NL action on 3 tables with kanu....back in the days he played 8 tables, highest limits, mixed games with Ivey, Antonius etc :D

Isil 3 barrels and get called

Isil bets ~20k river and got raised to ~60k then folds

Kanu 3bet to 6k, isil 4bet to 13k and Kanu 5bet shoved

Isil 3bet to 6.6k PF. bets flop. Check/Check turn. Kanu leads river and isildur insta shoves. Kanu folds

After denying action to Sauce who asked for PLO 150/300, Isildur1 is 3 tabling Kanu and waiting alone at a 400/800$ PLO table

Isil snaps called river bet

almost 600k spread on 3 tables for isil. Kanu has almost 200k spread
According to HSDB, isil is up 300k atm on Kanu. That's only 5 buyins at the stakes they playing though

Isil cbets unusually small (6.6k into 12k pot) and Kanu raised it to 18k. Isil flat. Turn, Kanu bets 26k and Isil snap called. River check by Kanu and Isil snap shoved and Kanu called

After felting on that table, Kanu had to split in order to be able to keep 3 tabling. I guess he is down to his last 200k
Isildur1 up over 500k on Kanu at this point

how powerful is isildur's godmode

on pace for $100m 2013 rofl

you are a hero

thanks naz

j/k +1 sick work badgone appreciate all the screenshots

It's funny that both Sauce and Kanu who kept saying pretty much that they had a decent edge on Isildur1 are being cleaned up by him.
Sauce lost over 1.5mil to isildur1 in the span of 3 days and Kanu who cametot Isildur1 table 2 days ago asking him for NLHE action is being crushed for 500k very fast. But that's only 10 buy-ins so not really relevant sample.

Kanu 3bet. Cbet flop and check turn and isil fired only to see Kanu shove. Isildur1 called.

Kanu split that table to be able to top up on the other tables

i still dont understand how can 50cent be the maximum rake at the high stakes tables...we grinders can hardy win coz of the 5% and they got the rake of nl25
make it 50$ at least.

Isil 3bet to 6.6k, Kanu 4bet to 14k and isil called.
Kanu check behind flop. Isil overbet shoved 46k into 28k pot and Kanu folded. One of the first overbet from Isildur1 in this match

well match is on hold. Isildur1 said "brb food". Apparently only 5min pause. He eats fast lol
Kanu has 120k spread over the 2 tables.

cause it costs the same amount to deal a 100k pot as it does in a $10 pot, your reasoning is irrational

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

ok now its time to see those 1million $ pots again.

thanx Badgone! gj

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
