New Mystery Swede Terrorizing Party Poker's Cash Tables
April 14, 2010 8:11 amFrom the start of February, Party Poker has been receiving a bit of turbulence at their cash tables after the arrival of a mystery Swede who has proceeded to bully his opponents out of their hard fought bankrolls ever since.
Despite bouncing around the levels, ‘Ingsoni,’ as he is known, seems to be found mostly playing $25/$50 NLH or PLO, either short-handed or heads-up, where he has been able to turn an initial $57,493 deficit on February 8 into his current profit level of $653,948.
Inevitably, the poker community is wondering as to the identity of this mystery Swede who appeared out of nowhere to tear up Party Poker’s high-end, short handed cash poker scene. There does, however, seem to be a growing consensus that Ingsoni may in fact be Isildur1 and that he has moved to Party Poker from Full Tilt in order to rebuild up his recently depleted bankroll.
The Ingsoni/Isildur1 threads on The Two Plus Two Forums continue to gain ground, with one member called ‘Folding Soup’ posting the following comment:
“Well, when I checked his PTR a week or so ago, I noticed that he was playing 12+ hours a day, every day. Which is pretty characteristic of Isildur. I am also skeptical about how many Swedes can achieve 6 bb/100 at $25/$50 when there is only a population of like 10mil in Sweden. I’m not saying that Ingsoni is Isildur, but I think it’s certainly possible, likely even.”
As the mystery Swede continues his tirade on PokerStars, we can expect the story to grow at the same rate as his bankroll. In the meantime, it is rumoured that his opponents at the table are treading carefully and many have been known to flee the moment he sits down.
