Will the book be coming out on kindle and when? Can only buy it from the US at the moment.

Hi roddy:

We're waiting to get the kindle file back from the company that we work with which creates the kindle from the files we send it. We're expecting the kindle for our review any day, and once we approve, it immediately goes to Amazon. So, I would expect it to up on Amazon by the middle of next week (but this is not guaranteed).

I assume when you're talking about purchasing the book outside of the United States you're talking about Amazon. We have no control as to when they'll make the book available through their sites for other countries. We have shipped them a bunch of books and I assume they'll get books to other locations, but we don't know when.

Best wishes,
Mason

Can I be a successful poker pro if I only play tournaments?

Where were you during the horrific Mandalay Bay shooting in 2017 and what was going through your mind?

Thanks.

What % of recognizable tv pros have a current net worth >$1 million? How about >$10 million?

In general, how have those that became niche famous in the TV poker boom bubble handled that time being long gone? Obviously, most do not write a book a decade later, since poker based books no longer sell much, and most players 25 and under would say "Who?" when asked about nearly anyone from those days.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'll ask about the elephant in the room....

I'm sure you've heard the rumors re: owing money. Care to talk about that?

Are you still running businesses? If so, what kind?

Was Chip Reese as great/cool as he seemed? I'm sure the HS community is much worse off without him.

Cool thread, thanks.

Thanks Eli, I've always enjoyed your presence on televised poker.

Do you have any fun stories to share in honor of the late Gavin Smith?

Yeah US Amazon seems to be my only option, so I'll hang on for the kindle version. Thanks for reply.

Hi Eli, when asked about who you thought was the best player,you said Ivey and John Monette. I was sort of surprised you left out Durr.
Is he overrated?
Ok, and now to a more serious question, how do you keep your hair looking so great?!

I can answer the Sammy question. He still lives in Houston and plays almost every day at the poker clubs that are now open and prevalent here. He plays 5/5 PLO most of the time. When they get higher stakes games going he plays in those. He also goes to Lake Charles a lot to play baccarat. He's still a very good PLO player but because the 5/5 stakes are low (for him) he will splash around/gamble and is fun at the table. Always nice to the other players but if losing will cuss/berate the dealers.

Is Jennifer Harmon still married to Marco Traniello? Also what has Viffer been up to? Do you keep in touch with him at all or do you still play poker with him?

Eli,

Who do you think is the biggest scumbag in poker?

What player from the pre-Moneymaker boom years do you think would've had the best success if he/she was in his/her prime now? It could be a tournament or cash player.

What happened to Huck Seed?

Hey Eli. Just curious if being on TV altered your game at all or what kind of changes you felt you needed to make playing on live TV. Do you think it helped or hurt you? How about other the other players?

Eli,

If forced, who would you rather spend an afternoon on the golf course with, Mason or David Slansky?

What was the last time you played with Sam Farha? It was really fun to see your heads up battles at high stakes poker

Thank you Mr. Elezra for doing this. Two questions:
1. You were special forces in Israel. What lessons did you learn from that experience that you can apply to life? To poker playing?
2. Do you feel your preflop selections are a tad bit loose?

Is David Benyamine still playing / doing well?
