Thanks for the comment. When Isildur1 returned to Full Tilt this month he started at $5/10 and then moved on to $25/50, $50/100, $100/200, and so on.

You’re right, he didn’t have many winning sessions playing the “lower” stakes. But it could have been more of a comfort issue for him. Rather than jumping back into the nosebleeds, he probably wanted to feel for the games again. That’s what I meant by “gradually” moving up. Sorry for the confusion.

Could you clarify this, please:

You wrote: Starting as low as $5/$10, the Swede has gradually worked his way up as high as $300/$600, playing anyone who will take a shot at him.

Everything else I’ve read about Isildur1 suggests that he played some lower stakes, lost at them, and then just appeared at the 200/400 ish levels and started winning again. He didn’t “gradually work his way up” in the sense that he rebuilt his bankroll from low stakes.

I’m a little confused.

Thanks,

Will
