GaF Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 He won SCOOP event 2. Then he won SCOOP event 3. Unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Re: Isildur WOW Pokerstars doom switched every else in two massive tournies just to get a bit of publicity for a sponsored pro. More believable than some one actually winning both, but hey, lets just call it variance:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Re: Isildur It was only the medium buy-in version of event #02 that he won (though he did cash in the high buy-in version too). And he did have an unfair advantage over the majority of the field ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Re: Isildur Yeah I saw that - pretty amazing!! Dont know the numbers involved, but it almost seems to be verging on unbelievable/impossible(/rigged:p) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Re: Isildur It's a lot more believable than winning 2 massive field NL tournies. Apart from the fact that the fields are a lot smaller the skill advantage over the majority of the field is huge. Nearly only playing omaha at cash tables these days with some degree of success but I can't work out tournies at all, think some of our better holdem players have the same problem. It is low stakes tournies and I could sound really stupid by saying I might do better agaisnt better players:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Re: Isildur :lol :lol :lol :lol I just assumed that pokerstars and SCOOP, these were tens of thousands in each game :lol Suddenly it looks a whole lot less impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Re: Isildur Just had a look myself. The fields were: Limit Stud (64) for $41,600 Triple Stud (68) for $44,200 Limit Stud H/L (74) for $40,330 HORSE (85) for $46,325 Shaun's record over the past 5+yrs is beyond ridiculous, he's made millions so i'm not going to take anything away from him though they're small fields.

Nade Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Re: Isildur All SCOOP final tables are available to watch with all holecards on PokerStars. Go to Events > SCOOP > all Just watched Isildur on one of his final tables when it was down to 4. He actually played pretty conservative the whole way, just was selectively aggressive a couple of times and took a couple of flips. Played totally straightforward heads-up but was happy to play bad hands out of position, even called a big 4bet 3 handed out of position with some low cards and won the pot with a flop or turn check raise with air. Worth watching some of these final tables for any tournament player i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
