Re: Problem with Hellmuth\'s latest column
He implied that Erik had never bluffed the river in the WSOP because:

I folded because I thought I was beat, and my read has been very good to me for a long time.

Huh? Of course he thought he was beat, that's what a bluff is supposed to accomplish. He doesn't really know if he was bluffed or not.
He ommited the possibility that Erik had Kings and also that Erik could sense weakness on his part, perhaps putting him on a weak ace, and kept betting into this weakness (just like he did at the WSOP-lol). Also Erik knows if he didn't bluff Phil on the river at the WSOP or not. If he didn't he might figure that he could now, having set Phil up for it (especially if he sensed Phil held a weak ace).
