Hellmuth plays exactly like you would expect an ego-maniac would who thinks his cash game skills are considered a joke by the rest of the table, often trying to get cutesy to try to show that he can win with crap. He’s been the recipient of some lousy luck here too, which he lets destroy him, unlike w say, Esfandiari. In almost every HSP episode he’s in you see him doing stuff that’s simply bad poker b/c he knows the rest of the guys are thinking “Pfffftttt! Tournament legend!”

Hellmuth plays great poker in tournaments against a lot of amateurs.
Pros? Not so well.

As a big fan of daniel im pretty disappointed at his ‘dead in two spots’ comment which was ridiculous considering the hands in play. Even though he was only joking his comment may of had an effect on helmuths decision which may have cost antonio alot of money. I’m still in shock at helmuths flat call though… i mean considering how bad he’d been playing its pretty heroic not to go broke when he must be steaming from the ivey hand. Got to hand it to helmuth there but stick to tournaments dude!

Most people should know not to play K rag suited because of situations like this.

well you could call it the 4th nuts technically, since there can be only one straight flush it depends how you define it. 97ss or 74ss both are the respective nut/2nd nut hand. But depending on how you view it. As in since there’s only 1 7s obviously.

I agree with Kaplan that there is too much table talk. I think Gus Hansen is just trying to have fun but if he had known what hands Hellmuth and Esfandiari held he would realize he was out of line. Hellmuth may have raised if he kept his mouth shut.

Andreas Høivolds attempted needle was awkward as well. Hellmuth did play the hand well. In fact I think Hellmuth have played well on all hands. The re-pop with AJ against Ivey was just an attempt to make a stand at the wrong time.
