Is Abdul Jalib a real person?

[StevieWonder]

I heard it was a pseudonym for a well-known poker pro.

Is he real? Thanks for any help.

[StevieWonder]

[andyfox]

Mike Hall is the real name. He does exist, I've seen him.

Yup. Awesome movie.

There seems to be some concern whether he is still around or not.

[snakehead]

the last time I saw him, several months ago, he told me he was going to lubijania(sp) to live with izmet.

I'm serious.

[bdk3clash]

I did some research on this in my RGP days, and it's really hard to tell the kayfabe from the real info. I still have no idea if Izmet and/or Abdul exist, or if they're the same person. I did manage to figure out that "Abdul Jalib" is a pseudonym.

[andyfox]

Snakehead pointed him out to me several months ago, maybe it was when he spoke to him (see Snakehead's post).

Oh wait, who were we talking about again?

[andyfox]

A rumor's not a rumor that doesn't die . . .


Pfft . . . .

He's gone.

[Easy E]

person that I got that from also was worried that something might have happened to him. He hadn't been heard from since that time, months ago.


Anyone have any recent contact?

No. "The Usual Suspects" is the name of the movie.

I still haven't figured out how to link to other threads here.

David Sklansky started a thread on 9/7/4 called "Gus Hansen and A Few Other's Like Him"

A couple of quotes from replies in that thread from lolita16:

Hi David. Long time no see. Abdul's (aka M. Hall's) now ex wife here.

He moved to Slovenia in the summer of 03. He had visited there several months before (when we were still married) and I gather, deduced he liked his rich buddy's (Ismet Fekali) lifestyle better than he liked married life. We kept in touch up until about 3-4 months ago when he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I've been worried that something has happened to him, but there is little I can do about it.

The last time I talked to him, he was still playing poker for a living both online and playing in some European tournaments. At present, your guess is as good as mine.

This raises even more questions (some prurient), since there has always been a question as to whether or not there really was an "Ismet Fekali", and if not, who was posting under that name.

Well since Angelina Fekali appears to be a real person, I'll assume that Ismet is real too. But who knows?

One story was that Ismet was Angelina's pen name for posting here and on RGP.
