@ownage4u, thanks again for the reply!
When I asked you about that previous debt, I actually thought that the 610k$ you mentioned was regarding Isildur, and that there had been payments done on the 1m+ amount.
I didn't know it all had been settled, glad to hear that, even if it was "just" 400k~ that was sent back, thats why I got those things mixed up.
I didn't really understand that you were hoping to get that back, and at the same time not thinking Isildur1 would be able to make a comeback, but now I understand that you weren't referring to Isildur there with those 610k$.
Yes, around October 2018 those quotes are from if I remember correctly.
As for being staked, I know he used to be staked a lot by a player from the Netherlands, and also of course the one from Lithuania, and others in Sweden, Norway and the US. I just always hoped that some day he would not need to be staked anymore, and that he would be able to continue playing without being staked.
I also remember around 6 years ago or more, he avoided playing against you, since he saw sanIker as the toughest opinion on fulltilt, and then later on you and Isildur started playing so much against each other.
I was also surprised that Isildur kept playing against you so much, when he had originally started playing against you even though he thought you had a big edge on him on the games you guys mostly played.
As for the "increase xbook or gg" that you mentioned, was because backers saw that in specific games Isildur was more likely to win, and therefore wanted to increase the xbook for those specific sessions. So it wasn't because Isildur himself demanded that, but I am pretty sure that you know that already ofcourse.
I don't play on that mobile client he plays on so perhaps the stakes might be a little bit higher than 1/2 / 2/4, from what I have heard that is the highest stakes there.
I also feel that some "deals" in terms of xbooking and such in the past maybe crosses the line, (not talking about any deals between you and Isildur), but between Isildur and other established players.
In 2017 things were going poorly for Isildur as well in some ways at the end, even though on the tables on stars it looked like he was having his millions again according to the results for the first half of the year, and I remember that he wasn't staked by the player from Netherlands after 2017.
Wasn't 2017 the year you started with Pokeit as well? Maybe wrong there on the year.
In 2016 I remember that he was trying to do some brm, there was a plan to start grinding in lower stakes again, but it ended up being 5k that got lost almost every day for a long time, in not that many hands, because he played higher stakes then he originally intended to, and had the limit set to 5, so he just logged back on every day, lost that 5k, and kept repeating that.
I remember when he got staked by someone and transfers was made directly on the table instead of through other ways, which I guess is "dumping" in that sense, but not according to me in the same way as a normal "chip-dumping" would take place, because there was no bad intentions, just a weird way of transferring the money. What I mean is; If PokerStars had problems with that, considering it's "against the rules", problems could easily have been avoided by just explaining what was going on.
