ROCKS AND RINGS BABY

IMO he must have had backers when he played HSP, especially the $500k buyin show.

He gets his money by not ever buying shoes or undershirts. He has saved thousands and thousands by doing this.

All adolescent photoshops and horrendous one liners aside i seam to remember watching an interview with him within the last three months where he was some what scolding himself for his extravagant lifestyle.
He went on talking about how he had hired a personal coach(to what end's i assuredly dunno) to assist him with sleeping regulary.eating reg..as well as grinding x amount of hours a day.
He seriously looked like sombody who had just opened up one B&**h of a bank statment.
Not saying his busto by any means at all..but sounds like he might be reading 2+2 threads on BR managment..

I loan it to him

Book sales

i may be way out of line.

but his act is tiresome on tv. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and so sick. Punish him...

might be wrong. but my god. Party with him... give me a break.

Id hvae him so drunk he wouldnt stop saying the three above mentioned

He just brings another AA in the pocket , then switches the cards and voila !

Well, whether he does or doesn't shouldn't really matter since I doubt anyone would pay 20k to party with him....

good story. imo.

I believe he made his money in the import/export and latex businesses along w/ this guy:

if he plays Phil Laak hu, he should do OK

He does it winning flipaments:

sigh, he runs good in life

Co-creator and co-star in a TV show.

This. His Bread and butter is cash games, much like Ivey, Antonius, Benyamine, etc.

Lots of us fail to remember that live mid-stakes can be the money train. We've seen so much of durrrr and nosebleeds we sometimes forget all someone has to do is win 2,000 a day at 10-20 and earn 730k per year. And I'm sure he's playing in games bigger then that nobody knows about.

Mid stakes can be a money train, but I don't think your example is possible in the long run. $2000/day at 10-20NL, given you play 10 hrs everyday, is 20bb/hr. I don't think that win rate is sustainable long term.

Esandiari may make his cash selling furniture, sponsorships, or even handouts, but you gotta be smoking crack if you think he gets a dollar from cash games.

Puhleeze, name the vegas cash game he's beaten. What's his net loss on HSP? Has he regained pigment color since the televised AA disaster?

Yeah I'm sure you're very qualified to comment on how much he's won or lost in cash games in his life because you watched HSP.

Anyone that would know that posts in these forums has always said he's a very respected high stakes NL cash player, in some of the HSP threads and other threads where the subject came up.

1. I'm qualified to comment on *amir* esfandiari because I've played with him.
2. There's nothing to respect about his play. There is nothing at all intelligent, creative, or otherwise original about his play that even the most modest of winning poker players needs to respect.

Nearly 100% of the time in cash games, he plays comically tight granny poker that wouldn't stand a chance in the lowest limit games in LA.

I'd say that anyone who respects his game simply hasn't played him and/or is your typical groupie fan who is repeating spewed nonsense from previous posts giving him unearned kudos.

No way in hell that Esfandiari beats a single online pro. Amir is more than welcome to try and beat any game I'm in. Heck...he already has tried and failed.

Wow a little intense in your dislike of him buddy, lol what did he do to you?

Why do you keep calling him by his persian name as if to make fun of him or something? Do you also insist on calling Muhammad Ali Cassius all the time?

I'm sure Antonio does fine versus mid stake tourists in Vegas.

But does anyone remember the PAD Cash Game where he kept getting wrecked by Dwan? Now THAT was good TV.

idk but am I the only guy that liked his show?

That's like 600bb/100
