If it hadn't been for the ridiculous sessions he had vs. Dwan in HU NLHE, he'd be down about $6 million overall, and down significantly in HU NLHE.

So I mean... "...if it hadn't been for..." are silly.

Isildur1 is obviously a good player... but he's overhyped. Still, I love the action he brings.

If a good player lives in a different time zone from where the fish lives, it will be the good player staying awake to play the fish and not the other way around.

At 5am swedish players hunt americans, or so it seems...

in overall(nlhe+plo) he played well over 100k(like 120kish? 80k in nlhe) hands against durrrr, imo more than a "couple of sessions" =)

He also absolutely übercrushed jungleman12 for 570k on 100/200 in one session along with haseeb... remember? He basically had only lost to ivey, antonius and broke even against zeejustin up to the cardscummers point.

Like a cardhouse he fell apart tho =(.


losesoonerthanlate ; youre most likely a gimmick account but i cannot avoid responding to you because you come of alot of the times as a lost little kid in the candystore and i am a very friendly stranger with a big nice van. Anyway, thegiant is "Sargon Ruya" - http://www.pokerpages.com/player-pro...argon-ruya.htm

And most swedes have that nightly rhythm that plays highstakes because we have to adjust to the american evening routines =/.
