Isildur1: +1.7Mil in less than 6h

+ 1.7 million in a "less than 6 hours" session.

Played Heads Up vs Bttech86 at PLO $500/$1,000 CAP (40k$ CAP)

Must be nice :-)

Over the past few days, Tollerene has smashed his opponent for c.$900k, while running incredibly hot (running more than $1.1m above all in EV).

When the final hand was dealt and the last of Bttech86's roll was sent over to Isildur1 he had pocketed an enormous $1,703,125 from the match. As of the time of writing, that result once again catapults Isildur1 to the top of the year's biggest winners with over $4m profit, whilst relegating Bttech86 from second spot and out of the top ten.

At one point he had over 1mil on one single table

sick

jesus christ, wonder if this Bttech guy can actualy afford having a 1.7M losing day or are they all degenerates?

ahahaha std isil

very strange indeed, never heard of this guy and suddenly loses 1.7m? maybe some rich businessman or who is he?

std isildur

bettech is Ben86 on Pokerstars:

FTP: http://www.highstakesdb.com/profiles/Bttech86.aspx
PS: http://www.highstakesdb.com/profiles/pokerstars/Ben86.aspx

He was actually up a bunch since start of the year but still -1.7mil must hurt quite a bit

and didnt isildur just have a massive losing week?

I think a more shocking headline would be Gus Hansen +1.7 mill at any point

in before he loses it all to alexander kostritsyn

i just want them to finish posting all 9 parts of isildurrrr life

In March Isildur1 would have been up 4mil instead of 2mil if that wasn't for the last week where he lost a bunch playing bttech86 (-800k but bttech86 was running 1.1mil above EV as the article from HSDB stated) and also quite some at HU NLHE CAP (500/$1,000) against SanIker.
SanIker also said he was running 850k above EV against Isildur1 since they have been playing each other at HU NLHE. You can find his post here

Also lost some more at O8 vs PostFlopAction and others.

Now Isildur1 is back again almost at his peak (when he had a major +6mil rush in Jan). +4mil lifetime of FTP (while he was at -2mil when FTP re-opened).

Regular Headlines for Gus is -1.7mil

Poor guy is -9 mill lifetime now... He lost 6 mil since FTP re-opened

Isi saw that, and said to himself, sht only I can draw like mofo, ezz money, lets play,
and then boom - Ben is thinking - new kind of a gutshot is not hitting as much as the old one, sigh! 1.7 is gone

Ben Tollerene ‏@Bttech86 30 mar
The overfull is the new gutshot.

If I read this graph right, Gus has pretty much never been a winning player ?

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

Where's he getting the money to keep giving away?

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

do i have this right? ... ben lost 1.7m to isildur then came back and played again and is now overall up 1.5m?

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)
