Viktor Isildur1 Blom - Whats going on? - Page 31 - Poker News

Bump for the record. It is really amazing how slurs against "Russians", "Lithuanians", "Eastern Europeans" get at least silent approval by mods all the time. I mean I don't care about slurs/jokes but can we make it a little less obvious that there are first and second class ethnicities in your minds, mods.

Those are countries not ethnicities. At least get your facts straight if you gonna play the butthurt game.

His little downswing is now barely visible

This is not accurate, it doesn't take in consideration his re-buys, and he did a lot of them, i checked his sharkscope for 2019 and he's up 241k so far this year.

Also how is Viktor playing cash games? I thought Sweden started a stupid law, which basically means you have to top up manually every time (basically making it impossible to play cash games)

He's only playing on untracked euro sites, I thought this was common knowledge?

Same thing I thought, 12 years ago or so that was just normal.

^^^ Sweden apparently brought in a law, that you cannot auto-top up in cash games. Making it pretty much impossible for Swedish cash game players

However I also read that Viktor is still playing Omaha cash on Party? (As after his torny cashes, the high stake Omaha tables erupted. But of course.. on Party it's all anonymous now, so no way of knowing)

But equally.. this swedish law would make perfect sense if Isi only plays tournaments now!

How does it make it impossible to play cash games without an auto top up feature?
Did you know live poker exists where you don't magically top up to 100bb each hand? Also did you know some people buy in for less than 100bb?

What’s the reasoning behind not allowing auto top up?

Haven't followed mixed games on stars lately, but wasn't he playing from the uk? At least he had uk flag for some time.

It seems he has been travelling around for a few months, but last time he was based somewhere it was Sweden

I think it's fair to say that there will be no more King Blom on the highstakes tables.

It's almost sure he has been banned on stars so yeah, this seems to be the end of railing him

No idea, but he hasn't played there for a while which seems to confirm it. People were saying due to chip dumping

Was he most likely banned for some kind of cheating?

I would love it if he would spin up another 5M roll so his loss to Hastings wasn’t his defining moment

I think his defining moment is playing high stakes for almost a decade after losing 5 mill. Any other player and they woulda vanished. Dude has staying power which is huge, how many other dudes still grinding online from those days?
