Isildur1=Martonas=TheItalienStyle

what an interview! amazing story, and awesome advice. I'm goin over the durrr isildur match hands right now

Just took durrrr for 1.3 million

LOL

nothing in that interview hinted at him being isildur.... where is that guess coming from?

He certainly fits the profile and there aren't many around who do.

But seriously, who is he?

I just don't get why Isildur doesn't take the challenge instead of playing Durrrr outside the challenge. I understand you'd need a huge roll, but he said "i play u every day" last night.
One thing is for sure, Isildur's native language isn't english, and I doubt he is swedish.

Online poker is rigged. New accounts get better luck in the first two months.

Isildur1: ok im done i can hardly see my cards
durrrr: huh
durrrr: rly?
Isildur1: yes

Isildur1: i slept 10 h or sth last 3 days
Isildur1: to tired right now
durrrr: ok
Isildur1: ok play lonjglong session tomorrow
Isildur1: gg

should be fun watching this and the WSOP HU at the same time !

Why is he not swedish?

Gulkines is lag enough and aggro enough to be him and definitely used to crush headsup but the one thing that doesn't match is the english. Isildur1 doesn't seem that fluent.

Actually I think he is swedish now. You know that word Gus always use, "ups!".

I think that is a common scandinavian expression meaning "oops!" or "whoops!". Isildur1 also used that yesterday, mispelling it to "ops" which is how you would write it in swedish.

I bet Brian Cherry feels like a **** now

Geniuses speculating itt

Here is another one, fyp

They way we say oops/whoops/ups in sweden is oops, yeah.

I guess he might have been Gulkines on Ongame as well, but I'm almost sure his main site was crypto.

Sicko Gulkines hand:

So sad pokerhand.nu is dead, had a ton of crazy hands by him.

I'd like to point out to my fellow etymologists that "yupp" is also something a Swede would type in chat.

Killmyselfwhynot, you chose your handle.

Railing Isildur1 this weekend, I saw him ask to split stacks (new table I guess) when both players were deep and he was the smaller stack. He said he'd play deep if he's ahead but not if he's behind. Stacks were ~430k to 480k if I recall correctly.

This seems like it would be an advantage to Isildur1. Assuming skill and aggression are somewhat similar between players, wouldn't always having the bigger stack, sometimes as much as 4-7x the stack of your HU opponent, be an advantage over many hands / pushes?

Not that they're pushing randomly or stupidly, but if he happens to be behind and sucks out, he has his opponent's stack. If he happens to lose, he's lost a fraction of his stack and can get it back on the next push because he still has his opponent covered. Or for flops that seem like coin tosses, maybe?

U.P.S. as in fed ex, as in f ship it....they say it after they win a pot

No, ups means oops, it's how they spell it. UPS being a shipping company is pure coincidence.

No. No. No.
