It's definitely swung the other way again, looks like it's going to end up badly again. I think he gets too cocky when he's winning and shoves too thin.

Isildur's roll is on the tables.

Down to 20k on one table. Busto imminent.

Edit: Lessons in short-stacked PLO with Isildur

Isi's playing extremely spewy, even for this game.

Edit: He's gone from almost 600k spread to on reload w/ less than 150k spread in less than 10 minutes.

Edit: Isildur hasn't won an allin in forever, Ben's on a streak of 5 in a row on won table and 4 in a row on the other.

Ben said he'd quit Wilhasha to play Blom... clearly he thinks he has a significant edge.

willy vs ben is a great match, too bad they're playing on FTP n we have no hhs.

willy opens to 500 at 1/200, b/c J75r, calls 4k on the 9 turn and tank-calls 10k on a K riv, ben shows Q6ss for a backdoor fd otf, willy wins with 89o.

Ofc but 500/1k >>>> 100/200. Likely he thinks more of victor than willy.

There should be a new reality show called "2 weeks 2 million", starring Isildur1 and Ben Tollerene, but the only gimmick is that they are constantly trying to win $2mm from each other.

Listen to the interview on QuadJacks. Pretty clear Ben believes he has an edge on Isildur.

Very nice talk indeed

Ben doesn't care about all the ******s that follow high stakes
Odd_Oddsen in the man!
Sauce123, Jeans89, and Ben86 busted the PLO economy in 2012 (~25:00)
Random guy on 100/200 PLO table is 50% to be Harrington! (~29:00)

And there's already thread about that: Ben Tollerene (ben86) talks about multi accounting on high stakes PLO

Doubtful he'd play in a game with such high variance (with a realistic risk of ruin) if he didn't think he had an edge. I just said I think it's likely he thinks more of Vik than he does of willy. Him quitting willy if Vik wanted to play is not indicative of that but 500/1k cap with 3x pre plays much bigger than 100/200 where Ben is min opening all his btns.

Also, why would he not play Willy if he thought he had more edge? I guess he just hates money.

Not a big follower of Isi, is it fair to say that he would most likely crush anybody but the very best, except he insist on playing only vs the very best, like Ben?

He has zero tilt control. It might be that he is decent when he isn't tilting but get him stuck a buy in or two and the guy plays like a 25nl donk. That's why Ben is in there playing him and hammering all the time. Get they guy on tilt and you are guranteed and easy, or should I say isi, 2 or 3 million.

This is from the last 2 yrs. (As you can see at the top)

25 people
Play 1 game = 14/25 = 56%
Plays 2 games = 6/25 = 24%
Plays 3 or more = 5/25 20 %

Conclusion, if you want profit you should focus on only 1, or at the very top 2 games. (I know people have other accounts etc so this list isnt "correct", but if you really think that has affection on the point Im trying to make you are mistaken).

I think you left out half of your conclusion and the list of games is way off as you mentioned. I only looked at three players other than isildur and all three lists were wrong. However, the point you were trying to make still stands.

But, please note, you're arguing with a troll. Actionzip spends his days making people in NVG upset. Just put him on ignore and move on.
