he's honestly one of the more quality people in the poker world

"Quality person"--is that in the rocks and rings glossary somewhere?

There was a post a while back from a 2+2er who sat with him at a table and called him out on the "1.4". From what I remember it seemed like they wanted to market this guy that way and he just kinda had to go with it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Antonio. He's very shrewd and ambitious, and he parlayed his success during the nascent poker boom better than any other WPT winner I can think of. He also appears to play NL Hold 'Em pretty good.

Nevertheless, he will always be the player that everybody, loves to hate, because the way he markets himself/is marketed is so consistently hilarious and over-the-top in its seeming douche-ness.

agreed. post was in general but i guess yours could have been too.

Why would someone pay Antonio 10k?
How many hookers and lapdances can you get for this money?

I think - a lot

If Antonio gets 10K, how much do you think Patrik Antonius would get for a night out in his Aston Martin?
