Re: antonio esfandiari this is too much
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 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
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. |
