No friends in poker. Just people pretending to have fun. Everyone at the table hopes everyone but them loses all they have to them.
As a rule of thumb I never loan money to friends for gambling
Eli you took a page right out of my playbook! Well done, those Full Tilt days were wild weren’t they?

Those tilt high stakes cash tables with Durrrr, Ivey, Hanson ect.....was inzane dayz
"during the full tilt days, money flowed like water" yeah that was kind of the problem eli
so the book had nothing to do with losing friends. what a weird title to your video
They are definitely not as rich as they claim to be. A lot of them are broke
He beat me out of 32k pot a multi millionaire and won’t pay his debts Yet here I am nowhere near the wealth he has and pay every soul that I owe no matter what shit just doesn’t add up
Scam artist.
I was wondering how he was doing. Glad to see he got into the Hall of Fame. I'd like to request Barry Greenstein if you haven't profiled him yet.
Remember at the WSop a few years back he didn't want anyone sat next to him if they had not had the Devil Juice! He went down in my estimations after that 😡😡😡
Most of the original guys were all scammers

I was on his side until he said loans dont have to be paid back. Hes the guy that borrowed money, im sure he didn't say - hey you, give me some money, im a gambler. Dude has no integrity. Paying back a loan is honorable.

Well he dodged the question actually " I never promised to pay the money back *the next day* " Basically saying that if someone loaned him money they will just have to wait

He said loans don’t need to be paid back the next day . Not that loans don’t need to be paid back at all .
Saw Eli at ResortsWorld about 5 months ago, was playing cash of course in a separate room. Not sure what the game was and didn’t wanna be annoying and bug him. Oddly enough the only person at the table that knew him was the dealer. Nobody else had any idea who he was. Not a bad thing tho, shows that there will always be a never ending stream of new players in the game!

I have no idea about the financial arrangements these guys make. But what's interesting is the rather high % of these poker player stories that nclude allegations of reneging on gambling/staking debts. Which leads me to question what % of allegedly successful players are, in fact, successful (at poker specifically). I'm starting to think the marketing and side hustles are more the point than making money at the actual game. And based on all these outstanding loans, it's not enough for most players, even good ones.

Read Mike Mattasow’s book, “Check-Raising the Devil”. You will agree when they do finally vote him into the HOF.
Hmmm. Connected to Israeli Defense. Suddenly gets a big business and he uses the money to become a professional gambler. He then finds himself inside the biggest poker games, and part of the online boom. Then, suddenly the FBI shuts it all down and knows about inside cheating. Hmmm.
He never has done me wrong, always a class act…but that’s my experience
Dam poker players need to sign over their house.

I dont believe in anyones background unless its VERY well documented ... much less a poker players. He longed to be a soldier huh? Yeah..I was bummed when Volvo took me out of their crash test dummy program ~I loved it so.
Well, that's how I always perceived him as an enigmatic somewhat slimy side character (probably the only one with his own book). So are his posts now, unclear and seeminly dodging a straight answer, wiggling out. My questions are: 1/ does he owe money now, is he broke? 2/ is his book any good?
LOL Eli was never a professional poker player. He was the fish in the game. Funny how you think 100% of the players playing high stakes are pros. You know that makes no logical sense right?

i'd think he'd be losing friends since he's a known deadbeat. saw him promoting this book right as it came out, ignoring all sorts of calls for "pay me my money you deadbeat" from a variety of poker pros.

yikes, would've been better off just not saying anything, instead of "back when full tilt paid me stolen money (as it was a ponzi scheme) i paid back my debts, but when ever anybody lent me money they knew it might not be coming back, oh yeah here buy my book by the way"

at the end, umm no, unless dude pays back the people he borrowed from he'll always be known as the deadbeat guy who used to be on TV poker shows.
Typical gambling addict.
That's really crappy saying that he never intended to pay back the money borrowed. Definitely not a cool dude for that.
