Jonathan Little Uses Solver to Examine Classic Isildur Bluff-Catching Hand
Viktor "Isildur1" BlomIt is a rare treat to see Viktor “Isildur1” Blom play in a live poker tournament, but that is exactly what we got in the €5,000 buy-in partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany back in February 2018. Not only that but he was heads-up for the title and over $1,000,000 was at stake.
That is when Pavel Plesuv, who would go on to become a MSPT champion, pulled off a crazy bluff on the river, one that instantly became one of the most talked about in poker history. Could Blom make the insane call to win the tournament? Using PIOsolver, I break it down street-by-street from Isildur’s perspective and we see how close his strategy is to being GTO.
