Who the #$(*! is Lex Veldhuis? - Page 6 - Poker News

Well maybe he wanted to talk to you or your group. But sometimes its hard to approach a whole group even if your not shy. Would of been nicer of you to either go chat to him or ask wtf his problem was?
Either way totally ignoring him and then posting about it on a forum in relative anonymity in what can only be described as a smug tone speaks volumes about what type of person you are.

just gtfo trolling on lex, hes a good guy. And no-one wants to hear that u and ur mates just ignored him

Lex is a freak because he came to this party alone with no friends and was staring at everyone constantly for about 8 hours and made no attempt to speak to anyone, everyone seemed to have a good time but him.

I was not at all jealous that he didn't speak to me LOL because I was actually quite scared that this loner was staring at us for 8 hours or so. And so was a lot of the others at the party especially the chicks.

Lex is a good guy?? do you know him well and in person or just taking a guess?

I'm a Mcdonalds worker?? If my username was "Barack_Obama" would you think that I was Barack Obama... LOL

There's zero credibility in what you're saying as it's very clear that what you're saying is based on assumption + B/S where as what I'm saying is based on facts.

You say "his br" but it's quite obvious he was playing 100% staked by DN on the big game. He doesn't have 200K to burn for a TV show.

PS contract, it greatly worries me as a dutch person that the most well known dutch player seems to be someone who greatly exaggerated or fabricated past successes, is always suggesting that variance is holding back that huge cash in tournaments which are always about to happen any day now (for the last 3 years), and scoring a PS contract that way. All other countries have successful players as their icons, with real results.

1)I actually posted the pokernews.nl interview on here (a translated version) so i know all about it. He can bust his stars account but still have money tied up in his house (bought for cash) and car.

2)Lex said he played fully for himself, why would he lie about this when he has openly admitted getting staked multiple times by, for example, Ryan Daut, Nazgul18, Ludovic Lacay and old gf Lisa Hamilton ? There's no real reason to lie now.

3)That said, if he didnt got staked, then how did he get the 200k ?

omg, I just heard him in a pokernews.nl interview. He said he is going to blow up in an upcoming episode starring Robl, Negreanu, Tony G and some others. He cant say too much about it but this.

He also said he is playing 100% for himself so no backers.

Can some one post a link to this

If it's who I think it is, his play from the WSOP seemed like he could read people very well and out maneuver them. That being said, he was very aware that he was raping them and wasn't afraid to pat himself on the back.

Can't believe I'm listening to Lex, but there is some pretty interesting stuff in those interviews. He always talks like he's looking down on everyone else, even when someone bluffs him he has some snide comments saying how can someone bet there, if you think you can rep a certain hand you don't completely understand the game, stuff like that. He says that being at a table with Robl is like watching paint dry as well.

I still wish Lex would make a nice win in cash or a tournament soon, it would be good for him and dutch poker.

Wow i carn't beliver all the hate. Hes done nothing wrong to anyone, just minding his own business playing poker and suddenly this thread is made and a load of people hate on him for no apparent reason. Like all the hate TJ got i can understand with him being a massive degan and all. Or even all the hate Jamie Gold got for being a huge douche. But this, this is just unnecessary, there isn't any reason to hate on this guy. He seams like a cool guy and has good results, why the hate?

what stopped one of you from going and chatting to him? that would be the normal course for a secure person at a party who noticed someone alone not talking to anyone.

this - the flip side of that coin is that it seems quite weird to make no attempt at approaching and chatting to the loner and even going so far as to say he was scared of him. I think Mcdonalds worker seems like a freak and a very weird dude.
