Antonio Esfandiari

I couldn't think of an approriate Star Wars quote, but really, I didn't try that hard.

Wow. Poker After Dark the other night. It folds to Boston in the SB with KJ. He limps. Antonio pops in the BB with AQ. Alan “Boston” Dvorkis calls.

Flop comes QT9. Boston quickly checks. Antonio thinks for a long moment then just checks. He seems to suspect something. Turn is a J. Both check again. River is a 9. Boston has to bet and Antonio folds quickly. Now that fold is not anything special. Most people could fold that. A paired board, 4 to a straight, not a difficult fold for “top top”. But he just seemed to suspect something on the flop and gave up there. The more I see him play the better and better I think he is. That is probably why he’s able to play in the 500K buy-in on High Stakes Poker; people willing to buy pieces of him.

Also on PAD, anyone else think that Matusow seems more strung out than normal?
...end...
