Default hellmuth in stars 100-200

I got a kick from some of the comments on rgp about what a great player phil is when playing in this game. below is a hh of a hand I played with him. he quit shortly after that, with comments from the remaining players of, "there goes the game," and "game over, man." the game broke down to a few hardcores a few minutes after he left.

Ni han. There's a reason that Phil stopped playing at Bay 101 years ago. They chewed him up.

BTW: You may want to edit the post since you forgot to change your screenname once.

I don't think I got all of that. I hope it's in his book so I can really study it. What I really need help with is the call of your check-raise on the turn with K-high/no draw.

I'm sure he's still up in that game. Over the last year I have seen him score 20 grand or more within an hour or so multiple times. And when he does lose his average losses were nowhere near that big.

He was defending against exactly what snakeman had. A draw. Unfortunatly for Phil, snakeman's kicker was an ace. Phil's big mistake wasn't calling the k/r, or calling on the river. It was betting the turn.

Yes, betting the turn was a mistake. Calling the raise was compounding the mistake. I'm sure you agree. He's getting 6:1 effective, MAYBE 8:1 implied, and has 6 weak potential outs, let's count 5, liberally. He has obviously decided to call down with K-high against all but the scariest river cards. He must have Snakehead on Q-high or worse when he check-raised the turn, I guess. I see this all the time in that game, guys falling in love with their reads.

The math dictates a fold to the raise on the turn. Am I missing something? Even if we count all six outs as clean, and we throw in the 5-10% that his king is good, it's STILL a fold.

I think I need help with his play on every street, but especially his smooth call btf with a decent hand against an automatic raise from the sb.

Well, maybe some of them want to play with a superstar pro?

If Phil Ivey sat in the game I guarentee it would be fill up super fast.
