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"

[evybabee]

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

[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?

[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 ;))

@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 :)

@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.

[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....

@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?

[FreakishDonQuixote]

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

[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

[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

[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
