David Levi
Wasn't sure exactly where to post this.
I've played about 6 or 7 tourneys w/ him and I was interested to see what others thought who have played with him. His tournament results speak for themselves and there is no question he is a great all around tournament player. The thing that struck me odd was his style of play at least during the times I was playing w/ him. He seems to call a lot of raises pre-flop whether in or oop, but then is fairly passive. i.e. check folds most flops. Same goes if he raises and someone in position calls. Three times I've seen him play in this fashion until he dwindles down to 10BB or less. Then our table will break up and I'll see him 3 levels later w/ a monster stack and he usually goes on to cash or FT. I wish I could sweat his cards for 1 tourney. His style is so different from most people I've played w/, but he is very successful so it just peaked my curiosity. Very nice guy by the way.

Re: David Levi
I don't think his results speak for himself at all. looks like he plays a hell of a lot of tournaments, and might be really good, but that's certainly not necessary. TJ cloutier's record probably looks pretty similar.

have you read his book? (actually, I haven't, but from what I've heard/read online it is really terrible, and no he's not good at poker, although he probably has lost more at craps than poker, yes) [/ QUOTE ] Hes won almost 7 million dollars in Donkaments? You mean to tell me hes not up? Thats a hell of a lot of tourneys.

Re: David Levi
Which book? I've only read one and you're right it wasn't very good. Not much substance and just weird anecdotes about how he folded Kings when someone had Aces w/ reasoning along the lines of if you know he has Aces fold your kings lol.

Re: David Levi
I have played wtih David a few times in tourneys but not enough to pick up much, but I have logged lots of hours wiht him at the Bellagio 100/200 limit game, some shorthanded as well. I find it hard to believe he is a winner in that game, but he could be.
He once 8 bet me on the turn with 33 on a Q9366 board, that was fun.
