After months of silence, the enigma that is known as Isildur1 is finally back at the online casino tables, showing up unannounced at Full Tilt’s poker room. When his screen name popped up, recognition spread like wildfire, with a good chunk of the internet gambling community standing by to watch the developments – only to be severely disappointed with his overall loss for the evening. Some had reported seeing the mystery Swedish player sign on and off in short spurts throughout the first 6 weeks of the year, but last week’s evening of action was one of the first of dedicated play spanning over hours. Isildur had made dozens of headlines last fall, when he took the internet casino community by storm, winning millions in a matter of nights with his fast-paced, aggressive play. His downfall this past winter sent the nameless one into hiding, following the admission of several professional poker players that they’d shared card histories to study his play. Isildur’s play on Full Tilt’s online casino recently did little to compare to the excitement his screen name has become known for. Observations show him now playing only thousands on low-stakes games, winning only marginal pots until his profits are significant enough to up the ante. Those profits have all been blown so far, as his aggressive style returns at the mid-stake range tables, after which he returns to the starting line. By the end of the night, the new strategy proved that it still had much to be desired, as Isildur was down some $150,000. Winners for the week included pros such as Cole South, who won $92K; Alexander Kostritsyn with $835K; PixKim $423K; Patrik Antonius $359K; and Tom Dwan with $347K. |
