Isil is either 2nd or 3rd worst high stakes PLO player (Guy/Gus).

Definitely not because he can't get action @ PLO

Oh yeah, I know isil can get action at PLO. Just thought he was working on his PLO game - gues he can work at both (and have fun).

Off topic: Didn't realise Kanu7 was British. I was just thinking the other day that there aren't any decent cash game NL/PLO players who are from the UK.

Not anywhere close to true since like early 2011. He beat the 10k and 20k plo games but ran like **** at 40k yet still is down a very insignificant sum for his volume and stakes when he pretty much only played the best

Now if we're only talking his stupid mindeposit shortstacking, maybe you can start being close to right

Meh. As far as I know he's mainly a tournie player. I doubt he could successfully complete vs the top NLHE cash game players. I'm open for a rebuttal...

Well, I don't know how this would hold but Trickett plays the highest stakes in Macao and was a big force in that Partypoker live Big Game back in April, plus he was doing pretty well against the top line-ups in the online cash PLO.

I don't really know anything about his PLO game.

How bout if Isildur loses the same amount, now, as he did against Hastings back in whatever year it was, then we can say he plays like crap.

Though it was quite odd, that he was killing it in virtually anything except 2-7, last year, but when he gets to play 200/400 deep or against Sauce, we all say that he ran bad (though Sauce would have played pretty well, or Isildur plays crap against Sauce).

Hi Sam. Just kidding (obv).

I don't see much, just a bunch of information on him being beaten-up. What am I missing?

I still stand by watching that PartyPoker big game VI if you can, Trickett played most of it and despite some swings, was playing pretty darn well.

Oh yeah, also the Aussie Million 2012 cash game, though I don't think its that hard to beat that table if DN and Gus (and a few Macao regulars) was in it.
