Is XBLINK the next Isildur1?

This story is incredible but is true. It's the story about a 20 year old who gors by the name XBLINK, deposits the minimum $20 into UB Poker and plays a $11 tournament. He wins that tournament for $750 and then moves to Omaha and starts playing low-limit ring games.
He plays low-limit Omaha ring games for a day, finishing that day with a bankroll of $4k. The next day he starts playing slightly higher stakes. He plays away for a few days moving from $1/$2 to $5/$10 and his bankroll also moved up from $4k to $16k. For the next 2 days he moved between 20k and 60k before again moving up stakes.
By the 5th day of play he had hit a bankroll of 6 figure's and was playing $25/$50 PLO. A week later and he has a bankroll over $800k and is playing $200/$400 PLO and playing No Limit Holdem at higher stakes as UB Poker don't support PLO higher than $200/$400.
So to sum up.
Day 1 = Wins $11 tournament for $750 and then starts playing low-limit PLO
Day 2 = Starts playing slightly higher stakes and runs $4k upto 16k.
Day 3 & 4 = Moves from playing $1/$2 PLO to $5/$10 PLO and also takes his Bankroll from about $16k to $60k
Day 5 = Breaks the $100k mark and starts playing $25/$50 PLO.
Day 6 and On = Moves from $25/$50 upto $200/$400 PLO and higher NLH stakes and takes his Bankroll to over $800k

So is XBLINK the next Isildur1? Maybe. He might even be better. So the next question everyone will be asking is, Who is XBLINK?

(According to 89blist's 2+2 post, he cashed out $1,000,000 and will try to rebuild his bankroll)

The article is more than 1 year old but still haven't heard about it from the bigger poker news sites.

Boomswitch is still ON and Merry Christmas

WOW - what an amazing December! I'm doing fine on 888 Poker as you can see below:



Check out my stats here: Sharkscope stats

Yes, I'm fine and I'm playing the $5 buy-in $250 Guaranteed Heads Up MTTs on 888 Poker almost every day.

I am not yet ready to sum up this year's happenings but there were many things going on.

Even tough I'm going to write about 2010 later, I already have plans for 2011:
  • to work out & to be healthy (going to track it on this site: http://runtastic.com/)
  • to play poker & to be wealthy (lol joke) - want to make enough money to move up a few stakes/levels
  • to be a good affiliate - referring people to some poker sites and to PokerSpace 
  • to teach poker - Thoughts of a donk
I might have missed a few things but I'll add them if they come to my mind.

I'm trying to qualify for the Heads Up cash battle vs Isildur1 on PokerStars. The Heads Up MTT qualifiers are running every day on PokerStars - $11 buy-in, 1st place gets a ticket to the weekly qualifier. It's like a normal Heads Up tournament with an added 1st place prize.

Christmas was great! Now I understand what's Christmas is all about and I'm very happy I could spend it with my family. I hope you enjoyed your time with your beloved family members and friends too.
Happy Holidays!
