Online Poker

With Tony G of PartyPoker saying he would stake Isildur1 for an entry in the live PartyPoker Big Game IV event in April, I can't help but wonder whether this would be a good change of pace for Isildur1. I don't care about whether Isildur1's identity is revealed or not as a result (he's been offered a mask). I just wonder if some live play would be good for his online poker play.

Many players have identified Isildur1's weakness for playing extremely long sessions, and how he does seem to go on tilt from time to time. He is also inclined to play many high stakes tables at once, so it would be interesting to see how he would adapt to the much slower pace of a live poker tournament.

Of course, who knows if Isildur1 has played in live tournaments before and just found they weren't to his tastes? Regardless, if someone is saying he'll stake you and pay for your flights and accommodation, you shouldn't pass up a free holiday and the chance to win some cash. Full Tilt Poker can wait a couple of days. I'm sure the other high stakes players enjoy the occasional rest from Isildur1.

What does everyone else think? Should Isildur1 accept the generous offer and let everyone see how his style translates to live tournaments? Do you think it would just be a waste of time, that Isildur1 is suited to the online game only, and he should keep dancing for our amusement in the Full Tilt nose bleeds?
