Has the Promised One returned?
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
It looks like Isildur1 is making a comeback, as the blogs have been all a-twitter about some Isildur1 sightings in low stakes games at Full Tilt Poker. There are also rumors that the mystery man is playing at Betfair Poker as Omlphalotus, which is a much harder name to discuss around the Poker.com offices than Isildur1 (seriously, how is that pronounced?). Omlphalotus apparently plays just like Isildur1, including the disastrous habit of foolishly long sessions, and those in the know are reasonably sure it's our favorite high stakes maniac.
Isildur1's return to Full Tilt has been anything but glorious. He's playing $0.25/$0.50 stakes games of No Limit Hold 'Em, his game of choice, which is a hell of a long way from his previous games. At the end of last year he was risking hundreds of thousands of dollars on every second hand, you have to wonder if he will ever make a return to that level of play.
It's also slightly troubling that's he's sticking to NLHE games, as it was Pot Limit Omaha where he was losing big money to the pros. They know not to take him on in NLHE, so you'd think he would work on the game he's most likely to play the pros at. Oh well. Maybe he's simply working on restoring his initial bankroll, but I'm worried Isildur1 hasn't learnt anything from his prior experiences at the high roller tables.
Welcome back Isildur1. Hope you can get back in the swing of things (though perhaps don't let your bankroll do the swinging this time).
Do you think Isildur1 will return to the glory of the high stakes tables, and how do you think he would do now? Tell us about it in the comments.
