Does He Play Poker Better Than Phil Ivey?

Efan is one of the most popular regulars on Poker At The Lodge. He plays a ton of hands and loves to mix it up. On this stream, he played perfectly, just like Phil Ivey normally does.

The Lodge Card Club is a members-only social club in Round Rock, Texas (just north of Austin). With 24/7 cash games and 2+ tournaments per day, The Lodge is THE place to play poker in central Texas. The Lodge Live is streamed every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 3PM CT.
You never know what you might see on The Lodge Live stream. You might see Pocket Aces vs Pocket Kings. You may see the nut straight lose to a full house after the board pairs on the river. There's a good chance you will see loads of straddles (and double straddles, and triple straddles). Players go all-in blind or play poker hands after looking at just one card. That's just what poker is like in Texas!
The stream regularly features Lodge owners Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Doug Polk. Players like Rampage, Mariano, and Igor Kurganov has also graced The Lodge Live felt. And who knows? One day The Lodge may even host players like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, or similarly huge poker names.

Would love to see EFAN play some high stakes on HCL. He's very perceptive to his opponents and their ranges. IYKYK.

Bruh what is this title… c’mon man

[@ROZDAB]

It’s called using Iveys name and picture for clicks.

[@AActionHomeInspectionHouston]

Click bait lol

[@SassyJax]

🫤For real!! 🧐 Seriously why use Phil Ivy of all poker players😂…Running super hot”God-mode” does not mean having to bluff ur way into winning half of the hands you play in a session…. 🥸🙃😏

[@kwnortherner]

love the commentary + highlight style video

[@mbradycf]

glad you liked it!

[@eric8511]

This is a fucking nice title, never thought my name could be put together with Ivey one day.

[@dafickler]

I did. There actually. Playing 1/2 NL when you guys had 300 max buy in. Built my stack up to 6.5k. I had people coming over and taking pictures of it.

[@SassyJax]

Wow 😯 for 1/2 that’s AMAZING 🤗. My biggest win in a 1/2 session was where I started w/ $300 and cashed out $2,500 …Thats running super hot/god-mode. 😎😏

[@bradensmith8170]

This video and commentary are too good!! Stop giving out so much good info for free! Haha just kidding!, this format is amazing!,

[@sarahdeshay1394]

Insightful commentary, thanks.

[@HartlandOrchard]

I do love the format but it's really weird that the loudest thing is chips shuffling but can't hear them talking

[@mbradycf]

this video style was an experiment, agree the chips were too loud

[@SirSneakerPimp]

The chips are mic’d but not their voices, the hall also has boom mics!

[@carpeimodiem]

Clickbait title of the year in January... Congratulations 🎉

[@slickricklodge2950]

Fireside chat with Iron Mike Brady. Great job

[@Bigthings2121]

miss skull mike and rick

[@mingxuwang7490]

Who is Phil Ivey？

[@meipakyu4688]

One video shows Efan going all-in 3x and lost all, and could not win a hand!..and now he cant lose even with a bluff. He knew luck is on his side.

[@KiiroiSenko1]

Clickbait got me, NGL.

[@Jealod24]

I’ve only caught a few hands with Taras but he didn’t shut up and talked about ridiculous shit the entire time… if it’s on purpose to throw ppl off he’s genius, but I get the feeling he’s just socially awkward…

[@carmencastro1787]

Him not betting those kings on the flop n turn just bad

[@TheCap2wwu]

Run good doesn’t = Phil Ivey

[@keithkelso9872]

That gold on the river tells me that this is scripted or pier made a huge huge mistake

[@Templeboy215]

I’m never folding kings tho not to that board

[@SassyJax]

That is exactly what I was thinking especially the way it played out. 🫤

[@carmencastro1787]

Lodge has some pretty bad players. Def want to play there..

[@danielconnors1724]

Efan is brutally terrible at poker! Great player for the game thou

[@jamesengland7260]

Seriously talk about click bait.

[@Templeboy215]

Asians don’t like to fold they like to gamble

[@loyalline]

Eric's head -------> 🌚

[@keithkelso9872]

Dealer is pretty

[@paperchaser9565]

I like watching Efan…and Taras, and most of them. I really dislike DQ, he’s smug and talks too much.

[@topgun9666]

No

[@MrDrBatmanlive]

I love my boy but the answer is no.

[@derbydoc]

He is the worst player on any stream out there, even worse than you...

[@MrDrBatmanlive]

@@derbydoc now that's simply untrue. I'm way worse

[@derbydoc]

@@MrDrBatmanlive no. You are better

[@derbydoc]

@@MrDrBatmanlive and you don't wear masks which is a huge plus

[@jampar8]

10/25 is high stakes?
