I guess you're opening up your game to heads up challenges for those who criticize lex veldhuis then? Pretty ballsy, sir.

He said nanonoko wasn't really that good on a dutch forum once. And he really meant that.

insanely hypocritical, and when i called him out on it, he just goes "oh yeah cuz eli's new to the game and needs to be coddled".

as if being new to the game is the only criteria. eli knows deep down he's a long term loser, he sticks around cuz he loves the action and cuz people like chip and doyle are smart enough to treat him like family. if they all did what lex did, he'd be gone.

Lol at thinking those needles to Eli on HSP were serious

If any of you lolbreakeven25nlh fish had any idea about poker you would stfu and show this guy some respect. Hes a very very tough player in tournys and cash and has a roll much much bigger than the haters in this thread put together. You guys should get your facts right before watching one hand he played on hsp and shouting your opinions like they mean smoething. Show some class and show some respect.

On topic I like Lex, seems articulate, composed, and generally an interesting guy to chill with. Only seem him on TV poker and read a couple of his articles tho, so don't know anything about his online game.

He openly admitted to playing in some events at the WSOP he has no experience in.

Make of that what you will...

He also said that playing in a tourney and asking the other players questions is one of the best ways to learn a new game.

back in 2005/2006 I remember being amazed by this raszi guy playing 24 tables...he would mix NL100 up to NL400 6-max and everytime he was in one of my NL100 I was acutely aware of his insane aggression...the only thing douchey I have seen him do was on the PS Big Game this week where he mentioned being bluffed by Ivey and he was obvioulsy just name dropping

I met lex at a party once and the guy is a complete Weirdo!!! We were all having a good time drinking+dancing and lex was just standing there staring at people for the entire night. A very insecure dude.

I have wondered myself - he seems to break even at best online, even with 100% rb he's not making much at cash games. He also doesnt seem to have big MTT scores and has lost on every tv poker cash games I've seen him on. How can he afford the swings of playing 100/200 and 200/400 on these shows...
