  • In this explosive hand from Live At The Bike, Phill Hellmuth suffers a brutal cooler in a $100/200 No Limit hold'em cash game. He's got pocket kings in a 4-bet pot, but his opponent flops the nut flush. You just hate to see it in a high stakes poker game. But wait for Phil's reaction when he gets the bad news.

My point is, although I don't condone his behaviour, I can understand where he's coming from alot of the time, he just let's his emotions get the better of him and let's it all out. I can understand why people dislike him but I think the hate he gets is over exaggerated and mostly comes from new players that see all these videos that are hot in the algorithm. It's just memes. Even hicks said himself he's a big fan of hellmuth and has read his book.

In fact, on the video he used to get right into the personal space of the people right next to him and try to make them as nervous as possible.

    What do people think about jamming the kings? I know they are super deep, but that seems like a great reason to get it all in as the favorite. Youre likely to be way ahead. Then if you get called and are worried about getting sucked out on, ask to run it twice.
    Curious what the other chat pros think about this?

    Nice way to follow up the "Folding Kings" video i.e., I guess Phil should have folded the Kings!

    4 diamonds on the board, I couldn't make that call. The 4th diamond should have saved him 50k. 50k is a great bet in this spot.

    Hellmuth is such a good player, yet gets caught in these situations where basic poker knowledge dictates you fold, yet he keeps going and loses big. Then he gets mad. I don't understand how such a good player makes these basic mistakes.

    • @jackprecip5389

      He's not a good cash game player, especially NL, he never has been. In fact, cash players LOVE to see him enter a game. He's a tournament player with a specialty of building stacks against recreational players who make big mistakes. Hellmuth has spent decades creating exploitative lines against poor players, which usually fail against good players. Sure, he can beat good players at final tables when the blinds get so big that the game becomes almost like Bingo, but he's never going to thrive against really good players, because he never adapted his game. What makes Hellmuth so great, is that he has marketed himself for decades, not blown his money on stupid things, and has had a successful marriage and raised a family while playing poker for close to 40 years, which is incredibly laudable, because the whole point of professional poker is to be able to build and sustain a life playing a game you enjoy, and that's what really makes Hellmuth great, which is actually quite remarkable considering his overinflated ego. His wife is easily as large a part of his success as he has been, which only certain people really understand. At least 95% of poker players equal to or even better than Hellmuth from the "olden days" have self destructed with drugs, degenerate gambling, lavish spending, bad investments, loose women who take advantage of them or ones who drive them insane, etc, etc, to the point that most of them are dead or broke, and many are really quite pathetic today. The "poker world" is really not a place with many success stories in life, so I'll always consider Hellmuth great for that reason.

    If Hellmuth watched Doug Polk, he'd know to fold KK pre-flop

    I'm always amazed how badly Phil plays so many hands. There was no way he could look at how the hand was played and think his cowboys were good.Hicks didn't even have to play tricky here, he just played it the way even a 1/2NL player would have played a suited slick.

    • @butcho7492
      @butcho7492 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. Trapping? Who is going to fold AK suited preflop in a cash game?

  • @noelanderson8915

    Doug knows infinitely more about poker than I do, but I just can't agree that a big bet on the river makes any sense when you hold both the ace and king of diamonds. What are you expecting Phil to call a big bet with? Q of diamonds might be the only hand that potentially calls. And even the Q of diamonds might fold to a 100k+ bet. Small bet was perfect.

    You kept on saying that Eric should trap but that wouldn't have worked against Phil specifically.

    • @mikeholland6750

      i think considering the size of the pot already it would probably work against most people. if it was just a normal sized pot probably not
