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

Yeah he got staked think Laak would have a big chunk and a few others. It would be such a good investment given that line up. Seriously if I could I would like a big chunk of him. He is probably in the top 3 players in that game.

However he is still a fkn toolbox. Why try so hard?

Antonio's OK, he's just happy to be there.

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

I think Antonio is really chill. I'd love to hang out with him and Phil Laak for a weekend. They are probably the coolest two guys on the show.

Regarding his play with Top Set...There were three spades on the board how much do you want him to bet you a-holes, it's 500 thousand dollars. He played it like he should have. Its a hand that donks stack off every day.

Limping in with AA is not a bad play in cash games and it will often make more money when you do limp in with it because your opponents will not expect it. You should mostly raise with it pre-flop but limping is a good way to mix up your play.

Double a-hole

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

He seems like a good guy. He Has some good table banter and as someone earlier said he never gives anyone a rubdown.

Fwiw I think he is a phenomenal player abd his life story is interesting to say the least and would win the comp for 'worst bankroll management', as per the other thread as to how he built his bankroll...

Earlier, Doyle commented that he hadn't watched any of the show. Believe him or don't.

Kaplan commented that "back in the day," when Doyle was on the road, nobody in a cash game would make the play Gold did if he didn't have the hand. Maybe Doyle just lapsed back into his old style. I blew beer through my nose when he mucked.

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

If Doyle has not watched the old shows to get abetter read on the other players then that shows why other younger , hungrier players (lik antonio) will have an edge on him.
