Lex Veldhuis rampaging WSOP Main Event

Just watched the first episode of the ESPN broadcast of the WSOP 2009 Main Event.
I really enjoyed it, because of Lex "Raszi" Veldhuis who was abusing the table.

I put all the hands Lex played onm youtube:













one question: Did no one tried to slowplay you with a big hand?

lol @ the K4 hand. Got a little deja vu

wow, ty for sharing

that's some serious bulldozin :D

lolol @ 3betting w/ 64off, and calling a 4bet from QQ and bluffing them afterwards, lol @ face of this german while Raszi showed bluffs like 3 times to him, all of em were 3 barrel btw :D

quite enjoyable, RaSZi ftw ^^!

how does that guy seriously fold queens. rolled

id close it, but he actually provided videos of every hand. in fact, im going to thank him

thanks. pretty sick hands raszi

yea nice pwnage, but cant understand either why the german guy defend his 2pair with 67so passively after the checkraise.

I'm sorry I missed the other thread.
I am happy you all like the videos though

thanks for sharing.

he´s da mastabluffa

ScHnibL0r isn't a live player afaik

That K4o call was amazing. I like how stunned and angry Muenz was. How the heck did Raszi justify that call???

Raszi's play reminds me of Lane Flack.

same here, i remember him playing the party poker cup of nations, but ive also seen him play a lot LHE in iPoker and PS. I can't really tell if he is a live or online player.

EDIT: And lol I forgot about schniblor asking raszi "why do you call?"... He looked very tilted, lol priceless, I remember when he always bitched when losing in the WGT Showmatches to Arcneon and vs some others, don't know if he's changed, but he was always very bad mannered.

rofl eli
"this is the 2nd time he showed a bluff to simon.. shame on you"

that german guy is schniblor? wtf?

lol @ elezra "how did u know u had the best hand??" wtf

well obv he didnt... but given the fact that it was 2,85:1 he needed like 35% to win preflop... and he's ahead given his range cause the guy was pissed and Lex knew that. Also it was an instant shove... if he had big pair he would at least take a second to think. It's about a break-even call I guess given the stacks and range.

Regardless if it was slightly + or - EV you can't really fold cause people will start shoving on you ;o that was a big factor too

at least that's my interpretation

go RaSZi go!
my respect just went up for you another notch
way to bash the circle jerk nits at the poker table

thanks OP

nah it was probably not a timing tell but given the circumstances calling is def. understandable given the odds and the high likelyhood he's got live cards

and it was suited this time iirc

yea im wondering the same/

oh and lex you played sick buddy it was nice to watch.

very nice, that was fun to watch

On August 21 2009 18:08 zulu_nation8 wrote: that german guy is schniblor? wtf?

yes

I don't know how they edit show and how much time did RaSZi take to make that call... cause like with just single card you could have called given the odds

it like clear steal->re-steal from bb-> call the shover

( lol @ RaSZi's stare @ eli when he asked "how did u know u got the best hand" rofl glance )

LOL SHAME ON YOU

lol wow ez bulldoze.

inplied TV awesomeness odds imo.

Why does it have to be 2 "ambituous" players in a row showed in TV that happen to be coincidentaly Starcraft players ? (Khan and Raszi)
Oh yeah Demidov. Well i don't see him lurking around lp though so maybe that's why ?

Thanks RaSZi, hopefully we will see idiots try to copy you and utterly fail.

omg the look on raszis face when eli asks how he knew he had the best hand! hahahah

What place did Raszi finished @ ME?

wow sick bulldozing

Theres pretty much no way raszi's k4 hand is good. He was getting like 1.75-1 so the cold 4bet range he needed to be up against was like k7s+ q8s+ etc (I didnt do the math just going by a range somebody gave I saw in another online forum) . And for whatever reason people are much more likely to shove 67s there than k7s even though against most calling ranges they will play pretty much the same so his shoving range is probably tighter than that. But lets say his shoving range somehow is that wide then its almost certainly going to be a mistake for raszi to be 3betting in the first place.

But in the end even though its a mistake its not that big of a mistake there were plenty of much bigger mistakes people made throughout the day. So it doesnt really matter that much.

lol @ the clown saying somthing about waking up the donkey and folding QQ there rofl

raszi makes it look so easy to outplay everyone

the K6s hand was sick

great to watch.. well played sir.

hah.. that was fun to watch..

i have yet to see a non-arrogant post by raszi

you have some sick skills dude :D

but i gotto give it to you wp sir

it's easier to estimate ranges when you play regular TAG style, and other have that perception of you

the hard part is for the outsiders to estimate shoving ranges vs LAG players... its really dynamic-dependant and you can't simply form a range watching the ME episodes

the only mistake might have been putting yourself in a spot like that thru isolating limper...

well played RaSZi. Keep it up

wow that table sucked hard

ROIFL IU LOVE THE COMMENT ABOUT ELI ON THE LAST VIDEO hahah funny

very entertaining watch
