POKER INFO - PROILE - Erik Seidel
 

real player, decent guy, good ambassador for the game

I guess he's a great player, but i've never ONCE seen him win heads up for a championship in like 5 times televised. Matter of fact, he got PANTSED in every single instance. Class act tho, just don't quite see the proper killer instinct, possibly tempered by an overanalytical mind.

One of my favorite players.

I´m impressed by his coolness. He doesn´t need to be fancy, chat chat player, and doesn´t need any cap or glasses. He´s as cool as needed. He always manages to be in the final table, always.

Eric, watch out for me! The big red machine is gonna get you. Btw, nice move-in on Chan in 89', that's gotta suck eh?

a great playerhe can always make a decision witch can bring him the title

Siedel is the master of cool. Very polite, and surprisingly witty.

good player, but he is too anal, he hides his hands so the cameras dont see them!

I seen the 2003 US Championship an d00d tried to hide his whole cards from the card cam so we couldn't see them. That was pretty dumb for him to even do. The reason is the card cam is not goin anywhere and why fight it now?

Another moron..."Oh I'll put a ship in front of the card camera because it makes me nervous" The only one who bitches about it. Hair club for men is looking for you!

nice guy. still, chan fucked him nicely.

Why are you scared to show ur cards to the camera? This guy needs to grow some balls

Loser. Chan had you beat in the wsop heads up battle. you look like a turtle. haha

Wow Yu Guys Sure Know How Too Hate Seidel Is Indisputably One Of The Top 25 Players (tournament) In The World Whats The Hate About He Has Mucho Dinero And Of Course He Is Jewish So Stop Your Hate

I respect him and wish that people would learn more about him than that he got beat by Chan at 89 WSOP (most only know that b/c of one of the greatest poker movies ever, Rounders)and that he didnt want every pro and every person w/ a TV to know how he plays

Seidle is one of the nicest guys around. Good player, who is on the cusp of greatness. Hopefully he's have his breakthough.

Face it people, He is one of the best No Limit player in the world if not the best. For anyone to write a bad word about Eric proves you don't know him. He is the class of poker. Playing with him and watching him play has improved my game more than any book.. Thanks Eric keep up the good work!!

He Is A Moron - Just Check The Nuts To Him

Shave Your Head

the most consistent player but lacks the agressive play you need in poker, sucks what happened an 88 but hey man at least you tried... LOSER

I think he's generally a nice guy who doesn't take any of this shit seriously.

I hate to do this on a website but I was unable to find any type of e-mail address for Eric Seidel. If anyone out there knows his address (or him) can you pass along some medical information? There is a medical condition known as Marfan syndrome (some people think that Lincoln may have had this syndrome). People with this syndrome have a certain body habitus. Not everyone who has this shape has the syndrome, but Eric Seidel has some of the features (tall, long arms, long fingers, etc.). The risk of this syndrome is that this person can have a serious problem with their aorta. If Eric Seidel is not aware of this--he may wish to be examined by his physician and have an echocardiogram. Better to be safe then sorry.

too bad no one so far seems to really know him. he is the only player to be in the top 10 on the all time money list for the WSOP and Bellagio. He has been more consistent than any other player in the game. He has wsop 6 bracelets, only 4 other players, i think, have more. Unfortunately anyone who has only watched poker on tv doesn't really know the players. By the way his name is spelled ERIK. He doesn't live in athem, he doesn't drive a pathfinder and he isn't vain, conceited nor concerned with what people think about his poker or his looks. I actually feel sorry for all you losers who have never had the privledge to have met and talked with him. He is very aproachable so give the guy a chance before you pass judgement on someone you don't know.

yeah I love these guys who slag Erik for his baldness. Most likely these are grossly overweight slobs who are envious of Erik's trim physique. This guy is action not flash and bluster like many players. His analyical mind and calm demeanor will eviscerate the phonies soon enough. I predict his current cool spell is going to break in a big way. Last time I checked he drove a Lexus.

22 final wsop final tables, is he related to the poker God himself? nice man

Good points,im sure he is a nice man and a great player,but that little bit of fluff (see above picture of eric) at the front of his head has got to go.

guy is a truly great player and a nice guy from everything that i have seen about him...he has only 1 flaw....his friendship with annie duke

this guy spells consistency in the earnings department

great player top ten in world in my book.

asked the guy for an autograph on fulltilt and got no email reply... what a jerk

after he asked for my email address

this guy cant even pay his bills

Relax haters. I'm sure he can win in one night what you will never see in your lifetime. I had the good fortune to play Seidel on Full Tilt. I played some 7 card stud. Yes I tried to be some kind of hero by bouncing him with nothing more than consealed 6's to his rolled up Kings and he made a Kings Full over Aces house on me. But totally nice guy. If he writes a book, it'll vastly help other players, but a magician never reveals his secrets. So he'll likely dominate for years to come.

eric is a great player. but hasnt played well in tourneys as of late...he even mentioned in an interview that hes been in a cold spell...im sure he dpes well in huge cash games tho...id like to see him play better in some tourneys, hes a nice guy...i just hate that he works on the worst tv show in history....tilt,...

world class player who it seems makes alot of people envious with his ability to be so good.

A real classy guy, saw him on Full Tilt and spoke to him and he actually talks back and does not ignore you like other pros.

One of the best no limit players. He rules

Hey Eric, I'll bet you have better things to do than read what some jealous fools say about your hair. But just in case you check out this site, here's a howdy from Kate from the early 80's hanging out in the Vegas and NY with Billy Horan. I'm glad to see you've done so well for yourself!

I played Eric in the NBC National Heads Tournament that aired this month. It was the first and only time we met. he is a class act. Even though I got lucky and beat him, he was more upset about what his high school (honor student)daughter told him that day. She told him Paris Hilton was her role model and I agree with him. Don't worry Eric I'm sure it's just a phase, if she has even part of your intellect she get over it.Till we meet again......

Last hand WSOP in -88 will always follow him. Chan dominate him totally but Seidel is a nice guy and a good player!
