Guy was SUCH A whale. Kid would come in, get loaded and just burn THOUSANDS and be like yeah this doesn't touch me and have his brother go get the Porsche.
I always liked this kid. I Did the biggest double take ever when he said name was Efraim Diveroli in the movie. Hadn't seen any previews. Pretty cool seems like only yesterday kid had the world by the balls
I used to play with him at mardi gras in hollywood, fl a lot. Pretty sure Gulfstream and Seminole as well. Been a long time.
The games were still $100 max buyin. So everyone would go all in preflop until whole table wsop sitting on monster stacks... he rarely let off the gas even after he got a big stack. Games were nuts. I don't think i can give a fair assessment of proper strategy at a $100 max buyin game with a 20 year old kid who just made a few million dollars overnight
Great movie, and Hill nailed the part.
Shows how much of a psycho/narcissist that this punk was/is. Not sure if that is the case in real life, but that is what the movie put out.
And, I watched Wolf of Wall Street yesterday...terrible movie. Hill was bad in that...MS did an awful job with that one. Really can't believe that people think Wolf was a good movie...MS is the most over-rated director of all time. Him and Quinten Tarantino...very bad.
