Durrr V Isildur1...whats the damage so far?

H8GHOTI · 23-12-2009 12:00am

For anyone who hasn't seen it. Interview on Poker News with isildur talking about his $4m loss.
Also, Brian Townsend talks about breaking Full Tilt's T&C in his blog. He's had his red pro status suspended for one month but I'd be surprised if Full Tilt do anything else about it. It all sounds a bit fishy though.

How can anything be fishy about heads up play?

Not the play itself just the whole situation. The sharing of hands etc..

I still don't really see it.. Can't tables be mined when not sitting at them? I used to this with PT years ago.

Ya they can but it's against the T&C. Even if that in itself isn't a big deal, Brian Townsend gave his hands to Hastings and Cole by the sounds of it, which is also against the T&C. Townsend has admitted wrong doing and Full Tilt have punished him so obviously what they done is not totally legit.
Now, I'm not saying they should go to jail or anything for it or that isildur should get his money back, just that it all sounds a bit fishy.

There's a bit more on the ESPN site. That's the interview

Getting hands from BT or whoever Isildur was playing means that Hastings/Cole etc was able to see Isildur's holecards on showdown hands where Isildur lost.

Did durr ever win back anything back from this guy isildir1?

smoothcall · 23-12-2009 5:59am

Did these lads not learn anything from rag2gar.

is it not like a scenario were you are playing live heads up against some1. and there are two guys sitting next to your opponent who know your play and can influence your decision making?

maybe far fetched analogy

I think this is the edge so

But he lost 4 mill for a lot of reasons and I suspect the sharing of hand histories is towards the bottom of those reasons.

Second part of the interview with Isi

Wow at this !!

What game are you the least experienced in?

I only have been playing pot-limit Omaha for eight months. Before that I didn't even know the rules for it. I honestly think pot-limit Omaha is so much luck.
