Weekly Vote: How Long will Isildur1 Last Now?
The return of Isildur1 to high stakes poker has been one of the big stories of recent days. This week we ask you to vote on how long this turbulent player will remain on the tables before he disappears once more.
October 2009 saw the rise of a new sensation in online poker: Isildur1. The unknown player burst onto the scene and quickly established himself as the one to watch, most notably by taking on, and beating, the online game's superstar, Tom "durrrr" Dwan.
However, after making over $3 million in November, playing everyone who would sit down with him on as many tables as they were willing, Isildur1 promptly disappeared at the end of 2009.
It was not until the middle of February 2010 that Isildur1 returned to the game and he has already been making the headlines. So now we ask, is he back for good?

A theory for discussion:I have suspicions that there is no real Isildur1, that the player name is inhabited by one or more established pros, and that the whole thing is just a Full Tilt publicity stunt.
OK people, what do you think?

I think that it could be true in one way or another. Fulltilt is involved I suspect.#3

for sure there is full tilt involve into this. It is not possible that they are playing for such high stakes, when on pokerstars on 25\50 blinds you rarely seen someone.i also think full tilt have some plans with Isildur, and with all they pros is something suspicious; but on the other hand i think full tilt is great
