Viktor "isildur1" Blom

Viktor "isildur1" Blom is one of the great success stories in the history of poker. He burst onto the scene out of nowhere to become one of the biggest stars in the game. As an eighteen year old he managed to take a bankroll of two thousand dollars in turn into more than a million dollars. The fact that he was able to do this at all was impressive, the fact that he did it in a matter of weeks is truly incredible. Needless to say this created a great deal of interest in particular just who isildur1 was. There was a great deal of debate online with most people assuming that he must be a professional player. Few people would have guessed that he was an eighteen year old from Sweden.

Viktor Blom decided that winning money online was all well and good but what he really wanted was the chance to beat the top professional players. Fortunately they were easy to find. Most of the professional players these days spend a great deal of time playing online so that anybody who wants to can take them on. When he did take on the top pros he certainly wasn't timid about it, he jumped in and played them for some very high stakes. Some of the games he has played in have been for some of the highest stakes ever played for online. The results have been profitable if a bit unnerving, he has some big wins and some big losses during that time.

A big part of Viktor Blom's success has been down to the fact that he plays in a way that few other players would be brave enough to try. A lot of people would call it downright reckless. He has no problem with placing large bets, even when he has a weak hand. While playing online he normally plays multi table games. While this strategy has been successful for him it has resulted in a number of large losses as well. The top professionals are not as easy to beat as the amateurs that are normally encountered online; they weren't as easily fooled by Blom's aggressive strategy. The result has been some pretty big swings in his bankroll.

Like most players who make their reputation online there has been a desire on the part of Viktor Blom to test his skills in a live game. In order to do this he has started entering tournaments. The results have been mixed at best. He hasn't had the same kind of success that he had online, although he has won some money. It has become clear that a different approach to the game is required in live tournaments. Viktor Blom has committed himself to becoming a better tournament player. Given the success that he has had playing online there is every reason to believe that he will be successful in this goal.
