*** The Official Isildur1 Thread ***

[Tamtaram]

To add to the rig-debate I want to ask the following:

How difficult would it be to sniff on the internet traffic from FTP and select traffic going to other players? I am assuming the traffic has to be decrypted, but is it even remotely possible? It must be huge amounts of data.

[ohbobbins]

Rather than cheating, could it not be that Full Tilt's PR team have just done a brilliant job convincing everyone that the world's best players are all on Full Tilt ?

I wonder how many FT points Isildur1 has, and what is he going to do with them...

Not sure I think he mainly tries to play during happy hour so he gets more points though. He is one smart cookie

I think the best way to cheat, assuming you could see your opponent's cards, would be to keep them covered 90% of the time...then peek at them in the big pots. Every now and then use it to beat them out of several buy-ins in big pots, then go back to covering the cards for a few hundred hands.

Perhaps though it's like using Save States in emulator games. You try to say you're not going to do it a lot at first, then inevitably you end up save stating every 5 seconds.

imo he's going to use them to play satties to qualify for some sunday tourneys after team full tilt pro's will bust him!

yeah because the last superusers on Absolute were subtle?

if Isildur1 is revealed as someone who crushed on other networks it would remove doubt. it looks increasingly unlikely that is going to happen.

Isildur1 probably isn't cheating, but I was one of the first to call it out and I got so many people calling me a retard lol. I still think it's possible. I've seen him shove 2nd pair for value and then check back a rivered runner runner straight in position against durrrr's nut straight on a non paired non flush board. That means he "thought" Durrrr would only call with a 6 in his hand, yet he's seen him call down looser in so many spots and on scary boards and Durrrr can't expect him to have rivered a straight too often and it's not like Isildur never bets strange on the river. Just weird.

Nobody really is arguing that it is simply impossible. OBVIOUSLY it is "possible". But if you think that the possibility is significant enought to bother "calling it out" then you clearly don't really understand how poker works, so you can't really begrudge people calling you a retard on a poker forum :P Yes, he's making some unorthodox plays - that's going to happen when you're playing 6 tables and making instant decisions. Sometimes they're not going to be as rational as the interpretations you can make at your leisure. There's simply nothing that points to any foul play. He's playing well, he's running well, his opponents aren't playing great (durrr anyway); and he's putting in a TONNE of volume. That's all there is to it at this stage.

maybe Isildur knows where durrr lives and he has a telescope outside his window and reads the cards while they play

[flagsfubu]

haha wouldnt that be sooo sick if he paid someone to break into durrrs house and plant a hidden camera with a computer view!!

[stueycal]

I'm not really sure why durrrr hasn't just boomswitched himself, while at the same time doomswitching isildur..make monies amirite?

Probably durrrr's face while playing Isildur1

[Richard88]

FTP will probally do the same what they done to Full flush after he makes a few withdrawls and max his depositing at something like 5k a month so he dosent busto everyone.
