Just like at FTP, where only "team full tilt" is playing exclusively at FTP, all other sponsored pros are allowed to play on other sites.

Oh my god, it doesnt mean ****.

Its a marketing thing, lol.

He most likely can play on nay other site he wants as long he doesnt use hes name and keeps playing active on stars

Pokerstars Pros are not allowed to play on other sites, especially not on the biggest competitive site! That's a fact.

Just my thoughts!

What exactly is FTP's incentive to help Stars? Why would FTP want to get rid of a customer who may generate a lot of rake? Why would FTP care about helping Stars enforce a clause in the contract that may or may not be there?

Who cares what their bios claim or whether pokerstars press release claims that Viktori "Isildur1" Blom plays exclusively at stars.

If you base your conclusions on some bios on a webpage or stars press releases then you are pretty naive and not in touch with reality. If you think that because a stars press release says Isildur1 plays exclusively at stars, he does not play on any other sites after that, then lol you probably believe in santa claus too still.

Pokerstars press release != legally binding contract != what actually happens in real life

This is obviously not Isildur1, can't believe the number of idiotic arguments made against that fact itt.

Best guess is that it's his brother.

They'd have very similar styles (check), he'd still be in Sweden (check), but his chat would be different because it's not Viktor (check).
He could also come out of nowhere with a significant roll to take on FTP, where Viktor can't play anymore.

Feel free to quote my post when it turns out it's actually the brother...

He is good but not the absolute top _I_ would say. He ran good while playing nosebleed PLO in the past so I guess his results were good money wise but now his good run has turned bad it seems. <3 variance.

I believe there was an interview on the pokerstars blog the day they revealed his identity or possibly from that news article that came out of his home town.

Think he said his sister plays too?

Said his brother wasn't like him. Was more of a "grinder"

If Pokerstars doesn't know it's him for certain (which they have no possible way of finding out), they can't enforce anything. Period. Hell, even if someone posted a backend screenshot of his account details, he can just claim it's a bogus photoshop.

It's not hard to get a P.O. Box and register something under a friend or relatives name. This isn't rocket-science procedure.

I can tell you for certain at least some high stakes pros knew Blom was Isildur1, I can also tell you that they knew he was signing with Pokerstars months before it was announced.

i think we should do viktor a favor and stop those theories because it wont look good for him...especially with guys like "pokerstars steve" reading this topic.

i hope its not him for the simple reason that we can get twice the action this way
