I see Antonio as a great player and cool guy too. There was a rumour he was banging Pamela Anderson, the guy has serious game in more ways than one. He seems to be tight but optimally mixes his game up. I was a little annoyed by his debating with top set, either Greenstein flopped a flush or he didn't, there are plenty of other hands he could be betting that river with too. Over all I think Antonio is very good for poker.

Re: Antonio The Magician .... which is the measure of the man ?
 

I did not see the show. However I have played with both Antonio and Phil Laak, (actually at the same time.)

Table conduct-wise, Antonio WAS fine and his table banter was entertaining. Phil Laak however had this retarded surfer-dude personna, which seemed limited to making random, Tourette-esque comments about nothing intelligible.

As far as I could tell, both played pretty well.

If you would "love to hang out with them for a weekend", then you have a serious fan-boi crush..... not that there is anything wrong with that of course. Rocks & Rings seemed all about making such fantasies come true for fan-bois.

i think Antonio always comes off as a pretty solid poker player, makes good reads etc. I have never met him so cant really judge what hes like as a person but his talk at the table has never really bothered me. I dont see how he can bug people so much, but i guess these are the people who hate almost every tv poker player.

"I could be riding camels in the desert but instead I'm here with you" is what he said on HSP which I found funny.

Have you watched the new Poker After Dark with Antonio? Alan Boston on that show is such a douche nozzle it's sick.

Pretty much...but if they post on 2+2 it's a different story.

Re: Antonio The Magician .... which is the measure of the man ?
 

By the way 4postle I actually think Antonio is a solid player, as I said before find something where I've said otherwise but your first post I quoted just read like a quote from a bad poker tips site. Also, yeah I'm sure it's only donks that go broke with top set, no decent player ever does that right?

Read about 1/3 or 1/2 of the discussion.
I love all the people who write:
"Antonio sucks, bla bla"
You have no [censored] idea how good/bad he is (at least most of you), you've never played against him.
He gambles a lot (the hand against DB on the last season), and i think nobody stacked him...


Instapushing with the 3rd nut flush 400BB deep, lol you freaking idiots...
Why dont you go in the game? I mean all you need is 500k, you can borrow it, since you'll double up within 3minutes. You'll sit there, playing your A game, reading everyone correct, although they show a lot of strength and confidence. It's easy i know, i just dont have the balls to do it, but i am sure you do...
