In the Lord of the Rings series, Isildur is the warrior who cut the master ring from Sauron’s finger and ended a particularly brutal war against Sauron and his forces. In poker, Isuldur1 is a gentleman who is cutting off online poker pros from their bankrolls, upsetting the online poker rankings applecart, and sending poker forums into a tizzy as they try to figure out who this guy is. For those who play internet poker at incredibly high stakes, this guy is their absolute bane. It has gotten so bad that some guys have given up that idea that they should play poker against him on an even playing field, and have just started colluding against him.
Over the course of a very short span of time he forced some of the most dangerous online poker pros to back down. Even Phil Ivey could only survive 105 hands against Isuldur1 before he backed away, and found someplace else to play poker. His victims are a who’s who of the online poker rankings list and he has bested Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, and just about every other player who has crossed his dark path. What is really driving them nuts, bedsides the fact that he is taking millions of dollars from his opponents, is the fact that nobody knows who this guy is. Poker forums have been burning up with speculation but for now the people are going to have to play internet poker against a mystery man who seems to be able to beat them at will.
