psujohn 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 From Poker After Dark - Antonio challenges Phil to a 100K HU match and the winner gets to shoot the loser with a taser. Put that **** on pay per view.Edit: Phil says "I'd do it for a million" Nejad "Somewhere a collection is being started" Link to post Share on other sites

Doug 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I don't care how much people hate Phill Hellmuth, Antonio Estfandiari is the biggest idiot ever, not only does he do cheesy ultimate bet adverts with lines such as "thats an offsuit , and im all in" whilst looking very uncomfortable with 2 women next to him. He is one of the least cultured people I have ever seen on T.V. On a program in the UK the presenter was wearing a Turban and he had never seen one before. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I know i've never made a play with a less than steller hand.... Obviously if anyone ever saw me do that one time, then it would blow my whole cover of being a good player. One play is all it takes people.So be careful. Link to post Share on other sites
NoSup4U 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Antonio is a donk compared to philI've seen Antonio E push all of his chips at a WSOP final table on a King JackHello people, KJo is the nuts! All the cool kids are shoving it at WSOP FTs.Also, to whoever said Antonio isn't cultured, I can only speak from limited experience with him, but the guy loves to travel the world and see new stuff. As far as poker players go, I would tag him as one of the more cultured. (Again, just going off what I've read from/about him, and some very limited interaction with him)I love Phil, but I think Antonio would crush him in a HU cash game. Thats his game, not Phil's.Mark Link to post Share on other sites

doudave 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 You guys have such big mouths here, but you know if you're playing and Antonio sits down at your table you would get up and leave or lose all your money to him. Ofcourse, this would never happen since Antonio does not play in the kitty game like you and I do. Here is a guy who went against his family which is not easy to do and made it big with nothing more then a few bucks in his pocket. So, if he's a donk, what does that make you? How many WSOP have you played in and what, you never pushed with KJos in your hand, PLEASE. Link to post Share on other sites

How many WSOP have you played in and what, you never pushed with KJos in your hand, PLEASE.I have to agree. Watching Antonio in HSP Season 2 showed an entire different side. a) Not only are his tournament results great, but he is a fantastic cash game player with good reads. B) He acts with class at the tables.Rocks and Rings aside, he is a true poker player. Link to post Share on other sites
