The Making of Isildur1 is the story of Swedish Viktor Blom published in 9 parts on the Svenskapelare site. The text was subsequently translated into English and published on HighStakesDB to be read by the greatest number.
The text is divided into 9 parts, but only 3 of these parts were written by Viktor Blom himself. The other parts are controversial and Viktor refutes the truth of certain statements.
Recently, the text has been translated in french by TjMassip, a member of the French community of poker. Only parts 1, 2 and 3 have been translated because, as mentioned above, it's the 3 only parts approved 100% by Isildur1.
Here is therefore a few significant passages in the Making of Isildur1!
"It is at this time that I created the account"Blom90"and I immediately got good results. My bankroll took the volume with my pic in the NSE, I was playing the $530, 10 players turbo. The Americans were still allowed on European sites and the parties were full of fishs. I quickly realized that it had to be aggressive at the end and I was able to operate full of players who were very poor compared to current standards. I was playing in cash game also, but I felt that my game was more suited to the SnGs and MTTs. And then when I had fifteen years, we have begun to bet on many other things than poker."
"My alarm clock rings and I wake up in this cold December morning. It is time to go to high school. I'm dropped on most subjects and I've been standing all night. I lost everything. This is hell."
"I was miserable. After having lost everything, I had more than a thought ' don't let me dream Poker! I can no longer think. The feeling that I am currently must be the reason why one shouldn't gambler all his money. It was not even my money that I lost last night. It was that of a close friend."
"I needed money quickly, otherwise I had to go with my parents. I talked about everything to my mother. It is that my father had already said to call my landlord to tell him that I moved, but my mother was more comprehensive. She gave me a deadline, but insisted that I concentrate on school work. It closed the discussion by: more poker! -Of course that not MOM."
"I had my options to me. It was necessary that I should choose. I chose the poker, I will make one last attempt. I lost control of my life, I was aware, it was obvious to me, but this time there was no possible return. It was necessary that I do so."
"We are now in mid-December and I managed to collect a bankroll of 15 k. Now, my sole priority is to win regularly and to stay calm. I can't lose this money! If I do, I can finally say goodbye to poker. I have tabled 10 k on iPoker before leaving the computer. I sat at the window and I thought about the situation. I myself am repeated internally that should I win and especially that I commit no errors. "I was trying both of me booster, but also to prepare me for what I feel if I lost everything again."
