he said in the interview that he had over $10m in his bankroll in his prime(and he added that he had money off the sites aswell), with that accounted and the fact that he is slightly up since he started on stars overall might give you a hint. (they missed a huge edit: (not 500)380k session before started tracking isildur tables, he is up 180k in hu sng's WITHOUT even accounting for the 100% rakeback which is huuuuuuge on $5k sng's.) edit: (another ~$100k in profit from the rake with gorilla math)

So.. busto? hardly. Stop the hatin', he haves a super tough withdrawal policy now to save as much funds as possible when he DOES go on ape monkey tilt.

thannnnnnnnk u.

Anyone see how Bjoerni89 and 0human0 got 500+bbs deep on nl5k hu? ("isildur's nlhe 50 XI")

wow, 15k swing without a showdown and that's all she wrote.

It also says in the interview:

"Then he lost them."

It's hard to get the real intention of the article because of the translation issues, but it sure sounds to me like it's claiming he won up to $10 million at its peak, and then lost it all.

How much did you have most of nätspelet?

- At most, it was over ten million dollars.

There are 67 million Swedish kronor. Had you been able to take them out?

- I had certainly been able to get the money, but I did not think much about it. I had money outside too, so I did not need them.

But you could live comfortably the rest of your life?

- (Laughs) Yeah, I was done for a while there. But I thought it was so fun to play, it was a challenge. Almost like a really fun computer game.

Then he lost them.

- Of course it was very hard. It was not fun. But I still felt good, and money is not everything.

Then - when he had so much cash - he did not really know how much it really was, he says. There he realized only later.

When you win and lose so heavily you lose sense of the value of money, he admits, but avoids most of the time to discuss earnings.

+1

The idea that he gets 100k every month and loses it quick is just wrong and idiotic. I have no idea where all the ******s get that idea.

Anyway, Isil should be back at the tables tomorrow when he has redeposited some of the winnings he cashed out today/yesterday.

We're in June, 6th month of year 6*100k = $600k.

Yearly winnings for Isildur1: -$352,395 (1959 sessions) + Isildur1 1046 hands -$173,33 = ~-$525k.

I know it's not the full story, rakeback + SNG's lower that number.

If you know it's wrong, then why do you keep saying it?

Rakeback + profit from SNG's is probably around 400k, and HSDB missed some of his early games, which would put him just around breakeven.

Besides, now that you were on his HSDB-profile anyway, you could have just taken a look at his graph and seen that he has pretty much been breakeven in March, April and May.

He has also, until recently, been a persistent winner on iPoker.

That's counting his losses from yesterday twice because they've already updated to include the results from the 21st june. HSDB have his cash losses at $350k. The real figure is a lot less than that though and he's definitely winning on pokerstars after rakeback at the moment (probably before rakeback too).

speaking of which hes back now, busted his roll last night vs sauce - re deposit, sitting at 50/100 plo and playing sng's right now

Blom is obviously a great player, but Sauce has also been named (by lots of guys in the HS community) as one of the best players in the game, losing to him is not something to be ashamed of. And besides that, as ben has already said, Blom is probably close to even or plus on stars this year.

Considering he almost exclusively plays the best players, a lot of the time under very bad conditions (no stop loss, too long sessions, no sleep etc), and is holding his own, says a lot about his skill from a technical poker perspective. He obvs sucks at being a 'professional'.

moki, only in the headlines they lead you on that. In the interview, atleast from the swedish one they write "peak=$10m, and then the losses started to come, one night being $4m to hastings" It never says that he lost the full amount, only that he had that amount at its highest. Its just ordinary stupid journalism, big numbers, leading on to false assumptions without actually writing it. It doesnt say anywhere that he lost everything he had on euro sites etc, only that he started losing after hitting his peak.(duh?) as we all know, his peak coming from the massive winnings against durrr etc on FTP and then losing it all. But that roll was not close to his whole roll of $10m.

Oh well, i find it amusing that ppl always seems to think hes broke and hes not even stuck that month and so on. That article also specifically says that he had money offline beside the $10mill onlineroll.


edit: Just to put things in perspective on how ******ed "topic setting" can be in Sweden. He is nicknamed "the $5 billion swede", yes BILLION.

Yeah, like I said, it could be due to the translation. Not knowing Swedish, there's no way I can know the true implication of "Then he lost them."

Just saying that as it reads in English, it sounds like he lost everything he won -- similar to the ICallSoWhat story.

If he really does have that much money -- let's call it $5 million left of his roll -- I don't really understand why he'd need to be staked by TonyG? Or why his showing up to play high stakes online to play after he wins a heads up battle?

My guess would be that the truth is somewhere in the middle. He probably won millions, he probably lost back a good chunk of it himself, and he probably staked Martonas and lost more back that way.

He probably has some money outside of poker, but not a whole lot... and thus the "pro" deal from Stars was very attractive to him. He's probably been "poker busto" (but not life busto) a number of times this year, and really has had no money to play until he's won a HU challenge or received a monthly payment from PS.

He also probably has been staked or had people take pieces of him at various times throughout the year as well.

None of this is to his detriment; it's pretty much standard amongst many poker players.

I just think the idea that he banked $10 million, and still has millions left from that even after his losses is a fairy tale. His behavior just doesn't jibe with it.

Im pretty sure ICSW had 300k left after his big downfall, not sure what happened to that money after.

Sng´s vs Bjoerni going again

How much taxes did he pay over the years?

which article are u guys talking about? i could help u out with whatevr you are having troubls with. i know swedish.

I do not..... understand. Blom is offline again.
