Poker tournaments in the Netherlands

February 27th, 2008

In the Netherlands only the Holland Casino can organise poker tournaments. This is of course a shame for the poker and online poker in the Netherlands. Because if you want to play in an online casino or online poker room then you are doing something that is not allowed in the Netherlands. Holland Casino has the monopoly on the casino and poker scene.

The rake on the online poker is very low but in the Holland Casino the rake is very high. So that is a problem for many poker players and instead of playing in the Holland Casino they will play in a home game or in an online casino.

So if your looking for an ideal online casino or a bonus casino en ligne then don’t go to the Holland Casino but look for a Casino online or a room for playing poker online.

Antonio Esfandiari vs. Ben Grundy — superstar bluff!

December 25th, 2007

Antonio is the f**** daddy. He smelled weakness from Ben Grundy in this hand from the William Hill Poker Grand Prix Season 2 Finals, and was he ever spot on. After getting re-raised with his open-ender, he moves all-in against Grundy who actually had the best hand with his ace high — but obviously a no-brain fold for him with both players holding about the same amount of chips in the tournament…

No doubt about it: this was an all-star all-in move. No draws out there, so no reason for Grundy to put Antonio on a semi-bluff — excellent poker. I love it when I can show Antonio’s pure genious. :D

Antonio really is “The Magician”

December 9th, 2007

Antonio showing off his magic tricks at the PCA in the Bahamas. These guys are lucky to find Mr. Esfandiari in the lobby, and he spoils them with an excellent card trick…

It’s good to see celebrity poker stars taking time to connect with the fans — and The Magician probably is one of the best at his own PR. Props to Antonio!

Antonio vs. Phil: The Ice Cream Edition

December 9th, 2007

This one is hilarious. Why? Because Phil Laak is so the poker player he is in real life. I mean this is awesome stuff. :D

As we all know this is for tv, and this has nothing to do with the $500 they’re putting up — but it’s GOOD tv, so I’m happy. Enjoy!

Daniel Negreanu feeling the Magicians sense of humor

December 8th, 2007

A classic from High Stakes Poker between Kid Poker Daniel Negreanu and The Magician and my main main mr. Antonio Esfandiari. Thing is, this would have been so much more funny without Daniel faking for so long….

No way it took him that long to get it, but I guess it’s for TV…. Still funny though :D

Antonio “The Magician” vs. Phil “The Unabomber”

December 8th, 2007

I don’t fully understand why the people over at GSN decided to let Antonio talk about this particular hand between him and Phil Laak on their website — but I guess it’s probably because my man Antionio likes to talk about beating the Unabomber out of a pot. :D

Daniel Negreanu (wearing his $1000 south point chip shirt) pretty much makes a good point calling on a bad play — but still, I believe Phil did the right thing. He tried to take the pot on the flop, and decided not to risk losing any more money in a hand he could have been drawing dead in.

Enjoy the vid — it’s nothing amazing but it’s worth checking out. :)
