Hellmuth\'s revolutionary articles
http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_maga...amp;m_id=65578
"Your books, DVDs, and new “365 tips” calendar (jfturner.com) are flying off the shelves. You have a good amount of fortune and fame — nine World Series of Poker (WSOP) titles. Why, then, do you have to lose it, and act like a jerk, after taking a bad beat?" when's the phil hellmuth car coming out. this article is just absolute futility. I thought it could never get worse. the world champ has proven me wrong time and time again. |

Re: Hellmuth\'s revolutionary articles
i think he played it fine. i mean, his opponent hit his 2 outer and beat him. if the villian was a chip leader, i can see playing this, but i would think the minraise was kinda suspicious.

Second, if he had a pocket pair, I did not want him to hit his card because I merely called him on the flop. Calling him here would be giving him, in effect, a free card. [/ QUOTE ] So Phil were you happy that he called your raise because now you didn't give him a free card? How many of you agree with this reason Phil gave for raising here? Not wanting to give a free card to a two outer? Vince |

Re: Hellmuth\'s revolutionary articles
How about raising because you almost certainly are way ahead and the guy still has a hand he likes (AA/AK/QQ, etc.) thus you can clean him out of chips.
and I suck! |

Wow if I were Hellmuth and I played the hand this poorly I'd definitely not tell anyone.

Re: Hellmuth\'s revolutionary articles
I don't.
The fact that Unbluffable bet out the flop strongly suggests that Phil's trips are going to get paid: unless an A comes, Unbluffable looks committed. If so, Phil can get his money in as an even bigger favorite on the turn, and giving a free card really doesn't matter. It puts Phil in a tough spot if another K hits the board, but that's the only card that would appear to hurt his hand; on any other turn card, he has an easy decision against a committed opponent who is drawing thin. Me, I'd give the free card here. I'd be sad if an A came and Unbluffable check-folded. I'd be sad if a K came and Unbluffable bet big into me; I'd consider folding. And I'd be sad if Unbluffable hit his pocket pair and check-called my all-in. The sadness total here is too small to worry about, and I see myself permitting a free card. I will also note that if someone played 5s4s against Phil's QQ and got there, he'd surely get an earful from Phil. Moreover, if that someone flopped 55K and the turn hit Phil's Q, Philly-boy would almost certainly regard that as a just result and berate his opponent then, too. I also note that while I don't have as much fame or mobney as Phil, I don't need to resort to either notion to comfort myself after inevitabilities like this one. |
