That was awesome, not only is blom a fascinating/interesting/mysterious subject, but galfond is qualified to write about him, not only as a writer, but someone with a high understanding of high stakes poker, and blom personally. Pretty good read imo.

"The first thing that stood out to me was how tall he was. The second was the image in my head of Isildur1 (the intimidating, aggressive, scary dude) being shattered to pieces. Viktor emanates happiness and kindness from the moment you meet him. He’s one of those guys that you can instantly tell is a truly nice and genuine good person. His happy-go-lucky demeanor makes it very hard not to smile, and it seems like he goes through life just having fun."

I met him shortly this summer and this description fits him perfectly and made me a bigger fan boy.

I think the other two are Sauce and Jens. Hard to have an edge over these two.

Another great blog post from Galfond.

As far as Blom as a player is concerned, Galfond focussed mainly on Blom's weaknesses especially as they relate to PLO. It would be interesting to get his POV on why Blom is such a strong NLH player. How was he able to beat Dwan in HU NLH? What is his style and what are his tendencies that make him a world class NLH player?

Would love to see a follow-up blog post that discusses this.

Everything I read that Gandalf writes seems to always hit right on the money with his points and reasoning. Amazing blog post.
