Mods please delete if I'm missing an obvious thread.

The source is supposedly Tony G's blog, but I can't get the link to work. It's at the bottom of the article above.

Getting more skeptical about isildur's identity all the time. Not many people that wouldn't take advantage of this massive amount of publicity. I'm sure most any of the major sites would sign him to a pretty nice deal, although I think only FT has high enough limits. I mean, hell, look at how much pub Tony G is getting just talking about him.

I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

That's putting a new spin on it.

OH! I know, it's Hasting Townsend and Cole's gimmick account and then they chip dumped to Hastings so they wouldn't get caught...

Seems like a silly idea. No one will play Isildur1 in NLHE at any stakes where he would need staking. And staking him to play HUPLO is a bad idea. He has no edge over the ones willing to play him.
