@nardna1889

Sounds good.. lets play sometime my full tilt ID is hillpra3144 =)

Ya might have heard multiple pros sharin on their facebook walls currently ya could register with the bonus code AMERICAS on Full Tilt Pokers web page.

Great way to start with quick easy money to play around with. They will double your first deposit oh and a few other amazing perks. Its limited to the first 2500 players that create an account using it

[JenaDelk]

There are glimpses of me in this hand.

[amxrtdket]

You can tell Veldhuis was annoyed of Elezra comment earlier. So he tried prove a point, that you don't have to play good starting hands to win.

[skateDT]

Does anyone know how Lex got eliminated from the WSOP?

[krazyazn208]

muenz = tilt

[EGarrett01]

Stu would lose in the high stakes today...for a few weeks...then he'd start to adjust. He had a brilliant mind, just not the high-level competition at the time to sharpen it.

[dannyoo2]

@EGarrett01 not a few weeks, maybe a few hands. since he caught on to the game just like that and start to beat amarilli slim, doyble brunson and the rest of em after just playing for 2 days

[carl19761976]

lex and stu ungar in same sentence just isnt right

[rownus]

As if any of you idiots ever seen stu play poker except for some old wsop footage on youtube.

There are not ''millions '' of players like lex, because in that case onlike poker would be totally dead .

Him and stu cant be compared because none of us would have any idea how stu would've played online, or if he would've adapted to todays (nosebleed) games.

The one thing we can say with 100% certainty is that Lex is a better professional gambler then stu was. Ducy?

[EdDy4RheelZ]

First off, Lex is nowhere near Ungar's level. I like Lex and no offense to him because his bluffs were skilled and he has more money than I'll ever have. Like Phranswa said, if Dolly ever made such statement of Lex being a better poker player than Ungar, I'll take it seriously. Lex isn't even near Dwan's level. And Kaplan doesn't even dare say Dwan is better than Ungar but tries to compliment Dwan by saying Dwan's playing style is similar and reminds Kaplan of Ungar's style.

[FreakishDonQuixote]

'ungar' probably wouldn't survive 2 seconds in the nosebleed stakes today.

[dannyoo2]

@FreakishDonQuixote sonny are you seriously fucking serious? do you even know who that fuck you are talking about with your fucking stupid homo gay mouth? you are talking about the greatest mind ever to play to game, he defeated people after playing this game for 2 days, he switched to poker because nobody wanted to play him gin-rummy because they just couldn't compete with his super intelligence. are you fucking serioud kid? get the fuck out

[FreakishDonQuixote]

@dannyoo2 it took him 2 days? what a fish.

[dannyoo2]

@FreakishDonQuixote it took him 2 days to defeat pro's like doyle brunson and amarillo slim, it took you 2 years to make your transition from the 1/2 to 5/10 play money tables. so why don't you just shut the fuck up?

[dannyoo2]

@rownus son I don't know if someone was holding a knife to your throat and forced you to write that comment "lex is a better gambler than stu ungar" or if you were just fucking drunk and had a cactus shoved up your ass while wearing an elvis wig and a yellow dress. because you obviously haven 't read what the pro's like phil helmuth told about stu ungar. don't you ever compare these people with the 1 and only legend

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Don't fucking disgrace Stu Ungar by comparing him to Lex. Lex is good player but nowhere near Ungar's level. There are millions of players like Lex but only one Ungar.

[PETERC1992]

I wudnt say millions like lex.There aint millions of players in teh world who are playing in the episodes of high stakes poker .Theres not even millions of poker players

[Phranswa]

HAHAHAHAHAAH! Like it when a guy who barely is 25 compares a player today to the GREATEST POKER MACHINE that was Stu Ungar!! There are thousands of players like Lex today but only one Stu Ungar. If Dolly ever makes such statement about a player, I will take it seriously but until then, let's not insult the greatest poker player that was Stu Ungar with these merely flash in the pan players fictional comparison.

[Varceo1137]

he didnt finish but hes still a great players dude makes millions online

[Varceo1137]

he is pretty cocky maybe cause hes dating evy

[sol111d]

Eli is joking.......... about the donkey thing

[Phranswa]

guys... all fun to watch but where did he finish? too wild and didnt make money

[Phranswa]

mmmmm. actually I dont equal him..thank god. I know am a better player than him. without the spotlight that's all cheers

[luiteweijs]

Actually... he played quite differently on the next day. He got quite unlucky I believe.

[Get1nn]

Haha, all the "tough" guys that say lex is a lucky donkey: LoL @ you. Would like to see you show such balls at the TV table of the main event. Ownage from Lex, representing Holland (Zeeland ;))

[TomXm]

BURN after BURN after BURN :) lol

Strong play and really fun to watch!!

respect

[raoulxl]

Calling Lex a donkey makes you a donkey. He made the final table on the WSOP 2009 $40.000 high roller event. he knows what he is doing! Just my 2 cents

[yagofm]

stupid donkey..

[Sjaak1Verbon]

@luiteweijs

that wasn't sick he was pot committed 15K for a 40K pot

[luiteweijs]

Showing the bluffs made other players tilt, and try to outbluff Lex. Which works out well when you have an actual hand :) Great play imo.

[luiteweijs]

Sick call with the K4.

[SeWoK3]

oh please

stu would have win this ttournament, and durrrr is a donkey

that day was his day but i think lex didnt cash out from the main event anyway if he did i wanna know what is his result

[Phranswa]

He did not cash in the main event. All the hype is about the fact Lex sucked out to the final table in the 40k buy-in even but trust me he wasnt playing like a careless fool then. He finished 7th in a 201 player field by the way.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Dude, give Lex some respect. Just because field was small, his accomplishment is nothing? Btw, even though it's 201 players, the players he faced were established pros and top players, opposed to main event where you can gather many chips through donkeys and have advantage over pros. 40k event was filled with 201 REAL, SERIOUS poker players and no satellite to that tournament. Lex is sick and he's gonna be on High Stakes Poker next season, or so I heard because Negreanu got him in.

[fafather1]

he's a little crazy

[iptpro]

OMFG@ all the tards here.

Lex beats the thoughest online poker game. How can u say he's lucky? How can u say its a pussy table?xD Playing like a pussy is just not the way to say. And as eve sais ofcourse he should show them. Info here doenst mean shit. he plays AA the same as 75 so its bs with showing info.

Just my 2 cents

[sirWarrior14]

that's why i said 'I dont know if...' and that Muenz is a bloody calling station if u dont wanna call him a pussy player.

[baalshin]

Lex does not beat the toughest online poker game lol, that would 500/1000 on FTP and he cannot beat it obv.

[sirWarrior14]

fuckin hell.. dunno if he's a pro or a donkey or just a lucky bastard for being playing in a table full of pussy players...

[Clone56]

that table demostrated about the most embarassing poker playing ever. They let Lex just run over the table

[mastahlone]

lex is playing very very well but....

he should not show the bluffs

hes showing too much information to how he play

anyway hes a good and lucky player

[evybabee]

i totally disagree-- lex showed the bluffs to intimidate the other players and it worked very effectively. any information he gave was 'see.. don't mess with me"

[alejandro8888]

@evybabee wrong...you show your bluffs to ensure you get paid off with your good hands...you're more lkely to get called by opponents with less than average hands....

[TrompetAppie]

He should. There is no way how 'he plays'. Good players switch gears and variate their lines. I think the shows are good. If he catches some cards it will be fireworks for sure

[dennisvanh82]

@mastahlone

this is on purpose, he's always an agressive player, but this was over the top, showing off.. if you would play like this all the time you would be losing lots of money for sure.

[jamesabrook]

@mastahlone In an interview after this event he said that as soon as someone called one of his bluffs he was going to tighten up, but until then he was going to show every time :)

[evybabee]

you guys got it all wrong, eli and lex get along really well and it was definitely good natured ribbing

[imynah]

Yeah I read that in Lex' post on 2p2 after I commented, that's ok then :D

[quanges]

thanks for the upload Evelyn

great show!

[imynah]

Elezra is being a bitch, so annoying. Lex made some awesome plays in these vids, tho I can't believe how passively Muenz played that TT hand.. and why he didn't raise or shove on the flop or turn..

[Varceo1137]

people played bad against him folding queens to him that k4 call was a pot call

[happyfreaked]

Fucking nice :)

[mastahlone]

i think elezra hate lex lolll

lex is a lucky donk

[DjAuronn]

wow, die K6s, real Lex-shit!!!
