Mr.OMG isn’t liking Full Tilt Poker‘s new CAP games. Check out what he had to say about it in his blog.
“Hey Guys,
After a nice break from poker since the WSOP ME, I played my first 2 sessions yesterday.
The first was across tables of 400/800 and 500/1000 7game. Games were just okay, but I was happy to be playing and working on my mixed game. I finished down around 20k after losing a 3way allin in the NLHE round with 44 v AA v A5cc on J43cc9 with 60k in the middle. Everyone played it fine.
I took a break for a while and came back later to 6 table 200/400 cap PLO. I ran pretty hot and won around 80.
I really dislike cap PLO. I think it’s a boring game with few complexities, and those complexities are more about math and running hand scenarios through calculators off the table than they are about psychology, leveling, and adjusting to opponents and game flow. If cap PLO are the only games running, I’ll play, but I hope people start playing something else.
Patrik Antonius is hot!! No.. Not that kinda hot. The Brad Pitt of poker is up 345k already in the month of June on Full Tilt poker according to the highstakesdb.com.
You can now own one of Phil Ivey’s Las Vegas homes. The poker star just recently put his house on the open market for a cool 2 million.The crib, built in early 2001, has 6 bathrooms and various other luxuries. A private swimming pool is a given, and it’s located right near a golf course. Neighbors include Andre Agassi, David Copperfield, and Howard Lederer.
Last weekend Atlantic city saw the biggest bad beat jackpot of all-time when Steven Gedney from Dover, New Jersey hit the jackpot for $553,958.00!!!. Gedney was the lucky loser in the hand with his quad 3′s and walked away with half the Jackpot, $276k
His opponent Chris Dobrzanski took the pot of $400 not to mention one quarter of the Jackpot ($138,489). The other 7 players in the hand shared the rest of the spoils for $19,748 each, so there were nine very happy men at that poker table.
Isildur1′s most recent interview with Pokernews.com, the Swedish pro talked about his adventure into the high stakes games on Full Tilt Poker and what he thinks of some of his opponents.
“I usually lose at first, but I always come back,” he says to Pokernews.com. “I learn so much playing, that I feel like I will win in the long run. I think it was really good playing durrrr as he does so many good things and I learned a lot from him. It’s OK, even though I lost so much money. I was really down for a while, but it was not a big problem.”
Last night Patrik Antonius got even with Isildur1 on Full Tilt poker.The two high stakes whales grinded it out for just over 900 hands playing 300/600 PLO deep stack. In that time period Patrik walked away up 1.088 MILLION dollars.
So who is this young Swede who’s been dominating the shit out of Full Tilt poker this past month raking in MILLIONS??? Well.. according to Tony G the young gun from Sweeden *Isildur1* is poker professional Viktor Blom.
“I can reveal to all it is Viktor (Blom) and he crushed them on the iPoker network for some time,” Tony went on to say.
Viktor Blom is Isildur1
Viktor Blom is alleged to have deposited $2000.00 and ran it up to $1.5 million in 2 weeks with his hyper aggressive style.
