If you haven't heard, then you have been hiding under a rock. The emergence of Isuldur1 took the online world by storm. As shown in the pic above he did some crazy work against some of the best players in the world. Poor Durrr! Why you say? Well because all of his old bankroll which he lost to Isuldir1 has now been distributed to Brain Hastings, Patrick Antonius, Phil Ivey, and Brian Townsend. Durr is now grinding the smaller stakes to get back in the thick of things.
Last night marked the end of Isuldur1's remarkable run. So the answer to the main question asked: Is a slight edge all you need to have? Well at first it looked like his edge was working, but his opponents adapted to his 4 plus multi-tabling edge. Brian Townsend was playing him 4 games heads-up PLO and took what seems to be his last $300k.
We admire what Isuldir1 (who is rumored to be Viktor Blom) has accomplished. But looking at what he had done you can either say that he took the ultimate risk and your proud or he took the dumbest route possible. The SHODOWN regional team members all agree that game selection is key to being a winning player. Ego should not be involved, but in Isuldir1's case, he definitely wanted some sort of recognition and to take some people off of their pedestal. This wasn't the best route to make money in our opinion, but sometimes goals and objectives are different. Only Isuldir1 will know if he has accomplished what he wanted. Hope to see him make a comeback in the next few months to stir up the scene again.
Good article by PokerNews on the subject.
