Re: Hellmuth\'s AK hand
These announcers are the worst. I'd rather have Lederer commenting alone with a sore throat boarding on larengitis than these fools. They praise the play of the fossil who was so brilliant in checking the nuts - anyone looks good playing the nuts - hands like that play themselves, right? Wrong! Because the amateur played it like an amateur. He made many mistakes which all of you pointed out - he overbet into a player who has demonstrated a preference to play smaller pots and make conservative laydowns to avoid these big confrontations. Second he talked way too much to Hellmuth, a master at reading voices and he seemed way too comfortable doing it. Phil picked up on this. I think if he made two 5k bets and said nothing he would have been well rewarded. Anyone with me on these crappy announcers?
