I cant imagine what isildurs' lifestyle is like, especially if he is actually going broke every time. I really wonder what his net worth is... Wouldnt it be much less stressful/less life hating to just grind 25/50??? Dude is an immense hero but he might have some serious gambling problems.
galfond leaves tables with 750k, 350k, 400k, 300k, 250k, etc after isildur busts and moves to other tables.
god knows how much he is up right now... Im guessing around 1.5m
give them nothing, but take from them.. everything.
Not to mention isildur down 4million in heads up PLO according to PTR
give them nothing, but take from them.. everything.

I'm guessing he plays to be the best, the money is just a side prize if he can beat the best.
Can't think of another reason why he would be able to play so high, lose so much, and keep on going.
The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.

like vlseph said, its as if money is very secondary to his need to be the best. That's the only thing that could explain his way of playing, he doesnt give a crap about being the underdog. If he loses, he learns, and comes back again.
He believes he has the talent to be the best, and puts in more hands at the highest stakes than the rest, vs the best.
and he seems alot better than back in november~(except his tilting) at PLO, so his degen play style seems to be working

If anyone wants to break into the high stakes now, the way to do it is isi's way. He said he doesn't follow poker, and didn't analyze his hands. He's got a lot of talent, huge balls, is competitive as hell, and developed his own style ( dunno if this applies to PLO).
Me might be living with his parents even... all he does is play, so not much costs to cover for the internet and electricity... I think he will be coming back again and again, and if they won't open up 1/2K PLO he will eventually establish his roll on FT. He makes those guys look like nits...
sad day he loses his online roll again
i admire most elite players at nosebleeds but isil makes them look like a nits
i need to see isil vs xblink vs ashman plo 3 handed
he took 500k from CTS and 400k or something against ZeeJustin which means he lost 1,5M totally or something during this day (which means he is not FTP- broke?)
If you look at the graph you can see how he first went up around $500K against Cole South, then losing a million to durrrr before getting back to even by beating up on ZeeJustin. After that, he broke even for a long time against Phill Galfond in the $200/$400 NLHE and $300/$600 PLO game before tanking $1.6M in the $500/$1000 PLO game.
Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol
Despite this loss Isildur1 is still up about $1,6 million for this year, and can hopefully recover from this huge loss.

yup, but i think winning/losing 3mil a day is more important than worrying about the electricity bill.

If I were isildur, I'd never play PLO. In fact, I'd publicly admit to not knowing how to play the game. Instead, I would use my high profile to publicly and repeatedly call all other high stakes player pussies for refusing to play me in NLHE. I'd go to all the live events and call them all out on camera. I'd wear a T-shirt at said events that would have pictures of high stakes players on it arranged in a pyramid, and a picture of myself standing on its pinnacle. I'd be louder than Helmuth about being Number One and create such drama and publicity for myself that other players would have public pressure on them to play me either on televised shows, in live rooms, or online. That way I would be able to get the action I want instead of repeatedly getting strung along by people forcing me to play PLO cuz I'm a degen.
Well if you look at it from his point of view, hes good enough at poker to never really have to worry about money. Like going bust doesn't mean much to him other than he has to grind low limits again. So maybe he just wants to get better at PLO to extreme that he is at holdem.

He got good in NLHE HU by playing all the best players that wanted to give him action. Why is this a bad idea for PLO HU if it worked out for him in NL HU ?

He beated everyone at PLO HU at ipoker/B2B, i dunno. He lost 20 buyins at 100-200 on ipoker vs best reg there at first shot too, but yeah i get ur point
Maybe Townsends notes on him is so sick that its hard for him to copy his ipoker/b2b performance at PLO

why does he keep agreeing to play PLO when he has such an edge in Holdem?

hes an action junky obviously.
also, its not like he is bad or even good at PLO, he is amazing himself
maybe he just wants to capitalize on variance if he can
and is willing to lose if that be the case as well

He can make as much money as he wants whenever he wants to do it by grinding "low" limits.
If I had this skill I wouldn't care if I lost all my bankroll. I would work part-time for 20 hours and turn that into another 1.5 million to lose all over again, maybe taking 5% of that out to live comfortably for a year.

I really don't understand how someone could criticize him without being like, the most successful poker players ever. How many of you are more successful than him? I mean cmon gimme a break
Grindin so hard, Im smashin pussies left and right.
Well just look at TheAshman
he "busted" his roll several times from like 500-900K down to 40K
but look where he is now ?
He is up ~ 5-6 million overall liftime on poker nowadays
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)

that's not even close to compareable to Isildur1. with a 5 mill roll ashman is kinda set esp with the style he plays. If Isildur1 goes on a heater and wins 10 mill in the next 2 months, he can bust that roll in less then a week, hes already gone on a 7 mill downswing in about 3 days. With his playing style unless he gets a bankroll of 30+ million his risk of ruin is always going to be enormous

Galfond is a sicko.
And as opposed to Isildur he has proper tilt control
it really just is mind boggling to me that he could have over 1.5+ million in his bankroll on several occasions and he doesn't have his own pad or car.
uh well it does say that and no i am not mentally handicapped
"I wish I'd got my own place last year. It sucks to still be living with my parents. But with apartments, like with poker, I won't stop till I have the best, am the best, and everyone knows it. Last December when I was winning $6 million on FTP, I heard of a luxury apartment in Stockholm on sale for $7.6m. That made it the most expensive in all of Sweden. I told myself I couldn't cash out of FTP until I had enough to buy it. And I nearly got there."
