So you are saying the slow roll with the nuts on the river was not premeditated? This was definitely Toms only way he knows how to hit back lol

Tom has to realize he has the nuts...he even apologizes for some reason

Idk why he apologized ..own that sh*t Tommy

The dude basically called out the fact he was a virgin on TV...just look at Toms whole reaction and body language...the fake yawn....the getting really interested in WHATEVER the very next topic would be to take all the focus off him...all because some "wanna be alpha male" wants to get a cheap laugh and some attention.

I remember Antonio's "Jjjjjunge huh..." when they were playing 2013 nbc heads up, what a class act

Lex is a bit of a gangster, that stunt to get elky to fight him. Elky trains for months, muscles up a fair bit, trains like Rocky basically. Lex continues with cheeseburgers and no training. Fight day shows up with a belly and girl arms (straight tubes) but enough mobility to high and lowkick poor never-had-fight-in-his-life-before-starcraft-superstar-nerd into oblivion.

Dude was so drawing dead with those responses(standard nerd/withdrawal) to fight pressure unless he'd develop knockout abilities, which he wouldnt because he could never get big enough in so short time to let the weight do it for him to coupled with to little training and giant soft mittens.


That said, lex gets my love. Now fight robl, that forehead can take a punch o hope

LOL

i missed that whole episode but this is the post of the day/thread.

Lex was a bit of a douche on HSP or some other show talking about Eli Elezra being a fish businessman in front of him I seem to remember. Link?

Antonio must be truly devastated by this thread.

Eli came at him first by saying "bad news for you, Lex. All the tourney pros that came to play we busted them all" (don't know why he thought Lex was a tourney specialist when he is a cash player)

anyway Lex then says "so what are you?", and Eli answers "i'm a cash game player", then Lex says "oh really, I thought you were just a businessman that plays poker"

Nothing really douchey just a little needling beck and fourth

Value town... Population, Eli

Listen to daniel chiming in too, pretty funny

Slow Role? 6-8 was the nuts and he wanted to confirm how much more he needed to call.

Lex, I heard Tito Ortiz play poker.

Even Antonio knew 68 was the nuts and Antonio would possibly play 68 that way.
Tom apologized because he hit 1 outer and other guy was reminding it was an 1 outer like 3 times already. Even Antonio said no need to say sorry on poker.

Antonio took the beat like a gentleman.

He probably didn't have more than 10% of himself in the One Drop, yet walks around like it all went into his purse and he's poker's Number 1.

When he want on Howard Stern he didn't even mention Ivey, Doyle or anyone other than his best buddy Phil Laak.

Attention whoring douche who only cares about his own reputation.

This arguement between Antonio and Lex shows how unable poker players seem to communicate.

First of all if someone offers you to go with them to dinner you are clearly invited but not your whole crew and family. You can deny or take the offer. To consider this "beef" or even worth an arguement you really need to be a little kid.

That is what frustrates me about poker, it does not improve you as a personality.

well, lex explicitly stated that he didn't have *beef* with antonio. maybe you could try harder to understand people instead of critisising their understanding of eachother/communication with eachother

Like I said before, most professional poker players are complete douches

Disagree this makes him a bully, this is just playful banter and you don't know how friendly these two are.

Jeezus if you heard what me and my friends say to each other you'd think we were mortal enemies.

I guess bringing your friends down (ableit in a funny way) is part of certain culture, and finding ways to needle is part of the fun.

But agree what Lex said makes Antonio a douche with an ego, but hey who didn't know that already, Lex sounded a bit angry and bitter, and now joins Antonio in doucheville (btw I think everyones a douche, they just don't think there are, most people are not what they think they are, put them in front of a TV camera with lots of money and probably a few drinks then everyones a douche)

Am I the only one that think that they have huge egos?

Roughly 2 hours of Lex talking about stuff he doesn't like. First one happens to be Antionio. About the only things that didn't seem to annoy him were being an alcoholic (other than suffering from withdrawal) and the Stars rake increases.

I dont dislike either of them (public), but what u see is what u are. If somethin is bothering u in such a way or whatever way it usually tells somethin bout urself as well. Mayb he could look at that instead of coming of as a bit sour. Although its stirring the pot.
I think AE is a good guy who does some douchy things. So what. PH does it to. But we all like it. Takin all that stuff too seriously, like Colman commenting on PH. Cmon, whats the deal? Ur all gold? Or just boring? Because when u never go out of line, yeah, ur boring.

For the lexies, antonios, helmuths and all other inflated heads that dot this miniscule subset of society we call the poker community:



We just play poker.

Dont know how much I agree with "trash" or "scum of the earth" (was chopped in edit). But with all the scams, and how the game has turned predatory against recs and bad players (as opposed to good natured competition) for those of us "in the know"...Im not so sure.

Also, lol @ lexy likely taking what was said ("your new here") out of context on a ghetto podcast trying to make a tool look more a tool. Also, thinking someone would be cool with you leeching your friends on them is LOL and ridiculously rude. "Yea man , can my freinds come?"..wtf you socially inept goofball kid.

im with you on this one.

wtf?

Personally I've always found when watching Esfandiari on tv that he comes over as somewhat of a pretentious douche.

Always found raszi extremely funny and good to watch whilst playing poker on tv but I can also see how others would find him douchey.

People like different people shocker.

If it was just blokes like myself playing poker on tv I doubt anyone would be watching.

Antonios "top friends" includes Bill Perkins and Guy. They just have that chemistry, it's nothing else.

What makes it bad is that he asked such a personal question on national television. I don't think you can compare it to the conversations you had with your friends. Plus Dwan was obviously uncomfortable. Sorry Antonio, some of us don't measure our self worth by how many sluts we had sex with. Also, funny that he made fun of Elky for his pants considering some of the flashy crap Antonio wore on HSP, that push up 'contest' was cringe worthy too.. yeah we're all really impressed Antonio.
