lol r u srs?

true, but apart from him

haha, who's this guy?

Are you serious abut the picture?

Overbetting for value and bluff starts to be standard in low/midstakes HU and shorthanded mid/high stakes.

I'd call this pretty quickly on any river that's not , K, T. I think in practice we can discount 2 pairs with an overbet shove river in this spot, but can't discount them fully. Even though the river isn't the best, I still don't see how anyone can think this is a snap fold.

This seems like a really weird way to think. And by weird I mean bad.

Please be a level...

yeah I have know idea who that freak is. should I know?

it's viktor blom, rumored to be isildur1 (king of swing, who dropped 1.6m last night to OMGClay)

he plays looooose and aggressifffff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASPKCtSBmSw

knew the name and the player obv, didn't know the face. maybe galfond will put a vid up about it on bluefire.

He looks like a complete drug addict in that picture.

Possibly the greatest NL player in the world. Also, he's swedish

results would say otherwise.

I said NL player. He's down like 4 million in PLO but keeps playing it cuz he's THE biggest degen...

that doesn't change my statement. you should probably look up the biggest winners in NL.

Oh come on, he has pritty much crushed anyone who's decided to play him in hold'em (especially durrrr)

I don't know who the best player in the world is, but recorded results available to the public online would say that there are several NL players that have both won more money and been winners in several different game types. The known results do not back the statement that Isildur1 is the best NL player in the world.

Also the last I had heard noone had actually confirmed that Isildur was in fact Viktor Blom. fwiw.

The fact that they've won money is just a result of the fact that they've been around longer. Isildur1 has only been around for a couple of month, and has already made millions playing NL. If he could just stay away from PLO...! Devils game

And no, it's not confirmed. But it's 90% sure.

phil ivey has won considerably more in considerably less hands. and won money off of Isildur the one time they played.

would you say the results support your conjecture that Isildur is better than Ivey?

Ivey is good, but come on, the guy is a nit, and almost never plays.

Also, Isildur is swedish.

Edit: Why don't you go and write that in NVG instead, i'm sure you will get a lot of love

Hehe, unfortunally the doomswitch started 1.5 month ago =/

how does anything you've said above refute any of my points? Do you disagree that the results would suggest that Ivey is a better NLHE player than Isildur?

I said "possibly the best NL player." As we all know, the fact that Ivey is up on the, what, like 1000 hands they've played, doesn't mean much.

Just go and read the high stakes thread in NVG and you'll understand why he's so awsome.

I'm saying that the results would say that your statement is incorrect. And if I have nothing else to go on but results (both of which indicate Ivey is better) why should I think that Isildur is the best NL player in the world? Especially when Ivey is simply one example that I can come up with.

and what does NVG's opinion of his awesomeness have to do with him being the best NL player in the world?

and what do you think isildur would do in this spot against an aggro thinking reg?
