Isildur1 continues to own online high stakes poker

The online high stakes world has been shocked lately by the recent dominance of a new high stakes play Isildur1, who has been racking up big gains against the world’s best poker players.

The last week I have been spending way too much time on FullTiltPoker watching Isildur1 and this “guy” is a machine. What makes his recent run through the high stakes poker room even more impressive is that Isildur1 only hit the scene a couple months ago, and the mystery behind the fact that no one knows his/her true identity as of yet.

Over the past week Isildur1 really took the world by storm by raking up sever multi-million dollar days, and now is the highest earning online poker player this year, unseating the former leader Patrik Antonius.

Currently Isildur1 has managed to rack up $5.4 million this year, around $300K above former leader Patrik Antonius after he managed to pull a little under 600K from Antonius last night.

Online phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan has been the biggest victim of Isildur1’s recent gains. Dwan is one of the most feared internet players on FullTiltPoker, but Dwan has been owned recently by Isildur1 to around $X million, with one pot being won by Isildur1 coming in close to $700K, an online poker record.

Who is Isildur1? All we really know is that he is Sweedish, but why he is refusing to reveal himself remains a mystery. Tax reasons, maybe a pro that does not want to be named? No one really knows.

It is pretty amazing to watch these guys in action, with tens of thousands of dollars trading hands every 10 seconds.

If you want to watch these guys in action just download the FullTiltPoker software, and you can watch without having to set up a real account. The dollars changing hands is an impressive thing to witness.

Pirate Bay launches uncensored blogging network

The guys over at The Pirate Bay, arguably the net’s largest torrent site, have announced the launch of their own blogging network, Baywords.

Many blog networks out there highly censor their user blogs, and often shut them down for what they deem to be offensive or inappropriate material. Well, the boys of Pirate Bay have never been prone to bowing down to the man, and they promise to give their users the same chance… with completely uncensored blogs. The only exception being that it will remove any blog that violates Sweedish laws, those seem to be the only laws that Baywords will not allow its users to violate.

Right now, don’t expect to see too many bells and whistles on the site. It is run by a pretty minimalistic wordpress multiuser blog platform. There are a couple of your expected wordpress plugins, such as the “all in one seo pack”, but don’t look for too much else at this time. The themes also leave a little to be desired.

I signed up to see what they had going on, and they had around 15 themes, none of which really jumped out at me as anything special. But don’t take that to mean that big things are not coming, after all, it did just launch this week, so you can’t expect a great blog network to be born overnight!

If you are looking to start a blog, or even if you currently have your own blog but want somewhere to write more sensitive type material, then check it out, just don’t expect too much just yet.
