fckthis 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ease up there, Chuck.Pretty sure I haven't commented in any of these worthless threads for awhile. Since I do it with such regularity, though, I'm sure you could find some more examples? In all reality, you people are just too fucking touchy. Get over it.In reality you're a doushebag. I hope someone kicks you in the nuts. Hard. Link to post Share on other sites
SSPadawon4 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Wrong. Laak plays almost every week in the biggest NLHE cash games in LA at the Commerce. Esfandiari, by his own omission, plays very little poker at all besides a modest circuit schedule.Don't confuse Laak's TV antics with his cash game persona. He is talked about as a dangerous and respected cash game NLHE player for some pretty big stakes. This has been his primary form of income for the last number of years and, by all accounts, he lives pretty darn well.I think both guys have proven that they can play a ton, though, so the original question is probably moot (aside from being unanswerable with the limited info any of us have).I have to go with Esfandari on this one. He definately is a more feared played than phil. Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Esfandiari because of his HSP showing. He played excellently and showed a lot of class. Laak really only made the final table of a celebrity event, where he only moved all in, if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites
crazyplaya6 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 antonio, easy callphil just isnt as intimidating, probably his bullshit antics that detract from his game image Link to post Share on other sites
Rex4334 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Gotta go with Laak... because he's so Kung Fu (theCircuit ref.)..and because hes dating Jennifer Tit.. i mean Tilly Link to post Share on other sites
NortonFan 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Meh.Good question.So you're taking Laak, right? Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 i think antonio is misunderstood. everytime ive seen him in a personal setting (HSP or playing on UB) he seems to be totally level headed. I think people are judging him based on his website.I remember the first time I saw him on tv it was in some batlle of the sexes tournament. And the whole entire time he was just being completely arrogant and condescending to the rest of the table. Even though he wasn't bad at all on HSP his first impression has kind of stuck with me. Seeing his website was pretty bad too. Link to post Share on other sites

Petoria 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Esfandiari just rubs me the wrong way for some reason, but he's still the better player.Laak is like a sideshow act that gets to play "Just The Tip" with Jennifer Tilly+EV "Wedding Crashers" reference.Esfandiari is the better player by far in my opinion. I mean, Laak is famous for being a professional douchebag and dating Jennifer Tilly. Esfandiari is actually famous for being a good poker player. Link to post Share on other sites

cu in 4years Dan 1 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 i am laak.seriously though i dont know. laak is uber aggresive but esfandiari is excellenct at reading and is also uber A.im not entirley sure but i will go with laak +EV "Wedding Crashers" reference.Esfandiari is the better player by far in my opinion. I mean, Laak is famous for being a professional douchebag and dating Jennifer Tilly. Esfandiari is actually famous for being a good poker player.i aggree with you, but what they are famous for doesnt decide who the better player is. i mean look at whats his face.... the guy who won the WSOP this year, im not googling him. hes a total donk and he was the most famous guy in AUS for about 3 months Link to post Share on other sites

Highlow16 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 You also have to realize that Laak only plays 10 major events a year. He doesnt play a full schedule. The guy makes atleast a final table a year. Thats pretty impressive if you think about it that way. Look at DN, he plays 40 events a year. Link to post Share on other sites
BNH77 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ive gotta go with Antonio, he has played well on two WPT final tables and looked even better on HSP. Laak got extremely lucky to win the celebrity event on the WPT. Havent seen much of him other then that. Link to post Share on other sites
