They've all been in the game long enough to know that such behavior is 100% -EV, and, in fact, Eli and Ted, especially, present themselves as charmers so as to keep the fish happily playing for longer sessions. And none has ever been anything but a perfect gentleman to me. (Although I'd never lend money.)

My disclaimer: My typical mix game stakes never exceeded 150/300 when I played, and I haven't been playing at all for the past 6 months. I can confirm, though, that Ted has been playing poker on the East Coast more frequently in recent years. He used to play at Maryland Live! Casino some when we played 75/150 LHE there, and I was told that he's played at the MGM National Harbor in D.C. more recently (60/120 LHE and 100/200 mix are going there regularly, so I assume these games were the draw for his attendance). I wish him well because he's always done so for me.
Your information seems to only be half correct. Ted Forrest was playing at MGM as recently as 6 months ago, but only saw him play very low limit games, specifically 1/2 5card PLO and 1/3 NL.

To "mystify" people

So...this is all Ted’s fault.

Well Read Ted post from year 2015:

Yeah, I guess it is but you will notice I said "straighten it all out", not make it more complicated.

Doug Polk's latest 'Polker News': "I reached out to Shaun Deeb to ask what had been going on with he and Eli, and Shaun said payments had been irregular and he had not been fully paid"........

Wait, you mean honest honorable Eli Elezra hasn't paid Deeb back either? No way! I mean no no way! Eli said he paid all his debts. That's all I need to hear!

As someone mentioned in that other thread he said:

"Poker players are always lending each other money. I always pay my debts."

"Pay" is present tense. "Paid is past tense". So technically he didn't say I "paid" all my debts.

I guess in his mind as long as he's paying something every now and then he pays his debts. Unfortunately it appears for some lenders now and then can mean over several years.

So what's the official reason for the thread's deletion?

Pretty bad look, to be honest.

In the screengrab Eli was obviously using speech to text and his heavy accent the reason for all the ridiculous mispellings

Actually I started a thread called

"Article on Eli Elezra's mansion."

All that thread's purpose was to talk about a Las Vegas newspaper article that talked about Eli's house that was for sale and gave some info about Eli and his poker career.

That thread would have died a quiet death until someone came in in post #31 and said this:

Quote:
Apparently, he owes Shaun Deeb and a ton of other people a bunch of money, and has for years:

http://www.crushlivepoker.com/podcas...un-deeb-speaks

The part about Eli starts at about 01:06 (free podcast, listenable by everyone, etc.)

Looks like Galfond started a trend in outing people.
At that point the thread exploded and then one of the mods decided to change the title of my little thread from

"Article on Eli Elezra's Mansion"

to

"Article on Eli Elezra's Mansion & apparently, he owes Shaun Deeb and a ton of other people.

So for the record, the thread's title got changed by someone else and I had little to do with Eli being outed for slow payment on loans.

Cliffs? And by cliffs I just want to know the amount he owes Deeb. I suppose I could just watch the Doug Polk video.

Pay is indeed present tense, but the debt is still present as well, so despite the semantics, it is still a lie in every sense.

Yeah but he still could being paying the debt even though there is some debt present. If I say I always pay my credit card debt, I would not be lying if I still had a 5000 dollar balance on the credit card.

Eli said I always pay my debts. I say I always pay my credit card debt.

In game of thrones don't a certain faction always say "a lannister always pays his debts", yet aren't they still outstanding on a pretty sizeable ones? Same thing with Eli imo.

Eli Elezra is the biggest scumbag ever in the history of poker. They should post him by Russ Hamilton. Actually, Russ Hamilton is a better person.

Eli owes top players millions and has been scamming a mallet players for years
This 40k think with Cole South is laughable and COLE SHOULD BE LUCKY HE GOT 60K OUT OF HIM. Cole is lucky compared to the others that have not said a word.

Russ joined a tournament that paid a bonus of the winners weight in Silver. That should be a crime right there as much as he weighed.
