busto

Why are you assuming he is a multimillionaire? Why would he play 10K hands really low then? In the start.

My guess is he is a gigantic fluke, and a man who can't control either himself, "the fame" or his own money.

I'm not sure if it is accurate either, but he did have $2 million or so spread across the tables when the games broke.

tru dat

But he may have been borrowing from Jonas or someone.

Yeah, it was a "small sample size." if you don't think so, you are mistaken.

he could have done so much with that money, its sad to think he blew over $5mill.

Easy come, easy go

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN U PATRIK

I just got off work, Isildur1 lost all his maniez to PA last night?

Can we now finally say that Isildur1 is busto? and was unable to conquer the best of online poker?

well thats one way to make 97k.

Because if he had started playing HS, everyone would have known from the start that he is a multi.

Not completely, he's sitting with 100K on itsatarp.

He wired enough money into ftp after killing the stakes on ipoker

He won 100k. AND became a legend in the process.

This.And if we dont know much about this guy.We cant confirm he is busto and losed hes last moneys.Maybe hes as succesfull as durrrr etc and the new guys just nobody knows not much about him.I doubt he is completly busto.Just a swong.He used to play on eurosites yes?I doubt he would be so degen.

How many 32,000 "small sample" hand battles have you had sir

he could have done so much witht hat money but he didt he most awesome thing ever with it. he kept gambling.

Great post!

well, I've played millions of hands and I wouldn't put a lot of stock into any 32,000 batch of them. Yes they are a little more valid against all one opponent because there are less variables. But the fact that they played most of them 6 tables at a time over very few days also makes it a weaker sample size then if they had been played over a longer period of time. External variables are more likely to have an effect over such a short period.

You could be sleep deprived over most of a 1-2 day period, or in a bad mindset cause of a personal issue etc. Its much less likely that the outside variables will stay the same if they play the same 32,000 hands over 6 months then it is if you play them over 3 days for instance.

Anyways I don't have a variance simulator, but if you run the 32,000 Hands through one, over a few 100 independent trials I'm sure you would get some vastly different results.

In this thread someone ran 67,000K hands (almost twice as many) played by Durrrr through a variance simulator 50 times and got some very different results.
