HIS ACT IS SO FRIGGIN TIRED
and the guy is a dork who a lot of other dorks somehow think is cool
HE IS NOT COOL. HE IS A DWEEB.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

I like him and don't grow tired of his act. Every time he makes one of his "god I love poker" type comments, it's at an appropriate moment where I'm actually feeling what he says.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

He`s good! I like him at the table [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

he seem kind of slow to make decisions.. or then i just hate him so much so i want the hands he is involved in to end fast..

OK maybe he does the Dr. and weee things a little too much, but you gotta give him credit for not bragging about his reads or plays when it turns out he was right like negreanu does.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

i like him and phil laak, but yea, in small doses ldo.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

i never win

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

I like Antonio much better than Laak. When he first arrived on the scene, I thought he was more style than substance, but over the last year (primarily on HSP), I've come to respect his game. I also think his comments usually fit the situation pretty well. I think he adds the right amount of spice to the game without overdoing it. It's a bit much when he's at the same table with his buddy Laak, though.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

i once counted 3 minutes where he did not make a reference to his arabic background

Esfandiari is quality... shame too often he comes along with his ball and chain Laak.

THeir banter was amusing for a while, Esfandiari didnt used to do the "in awe" speeches that much before, Laak must have worn off on him. Antonio is much more fun on his own with his wit.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

Jeez. You guys are so critical. So the guy appreciates being able to play in one of the biggest games around. If I had the opportunity to play that high (and does anybody else get the impression that Antonio might be playing a little high for his bankroll? Especially in the 500k buyin episode, he seemed like he might have a little more to lose than some of the people there.) I would be thanking the poker gods at every step of the way. And who are any of us to criticize about loving the game too much? Hell, we're on a poker message board.

And Phil Laak is just fun. He's a talented player, he's just as enthusiastic as Antonio about the game, and he scored Jennifer Tilly. And I've read articles about him playing to "save up" to get on HSP. I can respect that.

I could be riding my mom ... erm ... i mean ... camels in the desert BUT INSTEAD IM HERE WITH YOU GUYS IM SO HAPPY MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN MASTUR ... WIN AT POKER!!

The Antonio Esfandiari drinking game! Every time he comes out with one of his catchphrases, you have a shot. By the end of a HSP episode you'll still be annoyed, but at least you'll be drunk.

I still quite like him and think he's an underrated player, but he does get repetitive.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

Antonio has the biggest energy ballz.

By far...

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

I'm thinking of an interesting turn card...

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

Antonio Esfandiari is a 1.4

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

Can't believe no one has mentioned another annoying saying he does..... "Mike Sexton, how do you play so well?" "Mike Sexton, how is it like to win?"

People in real life who address me by my first and last name whenever they ask a question or a statement in his tone are complete dbags in my experience.

Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
 

I'm sure everyone here would like the players to sit in silence. That would be awesome.

"I wish I could be like you Dr. Beanie"

I mentioned these threads to him the other day and he just laughed. He was like, really, that is all my material. I just don't have any more than that.

I was also talking to Salorio and he did a dead on imitation of all of Antonio's E.'s lines. It is just his thing.

Frankly, I think Gabe needs to chill. I don't think Antonio was out of line last night and even though we are cool I am fairly objective.
