Phil Hellmuth folds QQ with 15 BBs

[jamesabrook]

Ok everyone give phil a minute.....umm I'ma go give Phil a minute!

[nimblenimrod69]

pair of queens better than ace queen suited?? fuck off ace queen suited can get you a sweet flush and not to mention the big daddy royal flush

[ummamaumaumammaummau]

@nimblenimrod69 lol..

[ruarihennessy1]

@nimblenimrod69 lo ve idiots like you

[gaminkalv]

The World's worst fold by "The World's greatest player".

[Taroxus]

I would like the smoothcall vs tight player

[spriggo786]

@Taroxus your a smoothcall

[lyc16]

phil helmuth trying to look like a genius on TV. failed.

[skaloon]

@lyc16

even if teh guy had AA or KK that would be a bad fold. it would be just unlucky situation not a bad all-in in that spot with QQ

[phobiazzzero]

fuck the poker look at those tits 2:00

[Zynyster]

He can afford to just call if he's so scared about it.

[MocniSkopac]

great a/v sync

[ThreeWickedWonders]

omfg... hurry up!

[Cdub2k]

That's the dumbest lay down I've ever seen. He's supposed to re raise with that hand or at the very worst smooth call

thanks for moment anyway

[t3n9]

So what other plans does the great Phil Hellmuth have for his 15 BB???

[axolotl84]

possibly the worst fold ever

[e27481]

Actually when I play I play AA, KK, QQ, AK, and AQ the exact same way, I raise to between 3 and 5 big blinds depending on the blinds and reraise any reraise. This disguises when I have the aces and tricks other people into moving in when I have them crushed.

[checkoutmymelody180]

@e27481 lol who the fuck raises 5x fucking banana.

[e27481]

@checkoutmymelody180 it keeps fucking donkeys from playing the hand and then sucking you out.

[e27481]

@checkoutmymelody180 and more people call that raise than you think. A lot of stupid people play poker.

[checkoutmymelody180]

@e27481 yeah other bananas. i'd rather be a shark in the pond then a fish.

[checkoutmymelody180]

@e27481 if you're scared of getting sucked out on every time you have a big pocket pair you shouldn't be playing poker.

[e27481]

@checkoutmymelody180 dude, I aint scared, It's just something I do to reduce the chances of getting sucked out.

[WaspSnG]

@e27481 You're rather enjoyable.

Phil Hellmuth is retarded.

[piratebri]

Phil is so good at poker that he can figure out the only hands that can beat his hand.. unfortunately, he usually assumes the player he's going against has that hand if they play aggressively. He needs to realize that sometimes people just take a chance aka.. gamble.

[sl3ptsolong]

that is the tightest laydown ever god... how does he accumulate chips at all to win these bracelets

[wollibuster]

9 bracelets...

if he wouldnt fold QQ for 15 BB he would have 18

[canadianpoker83]

@wollibuster Umm he has 11 of them not 9

[piratebri]

@wollibuster I'm pretty sure he has 11 bracelets, but his last one was in like.. 2002 or something. He isn't that accustomed to the new breed of hold em player who gamble on chance a lot more than players did in the 80s and 90s when Phil was the King of Holdem

[superjeff14]

Isnt phil kind of telling his opponent that he has a high pair, but is worried because his opponent has played so tightly?

[pitsipokos1]

who's the girl that presents the show??

[cloners10]

@pitsipokos1 leeann tweeden

[lewnik69]

love phil but this is an awful fold and does his image no favours

[jbuds82]

lol and he claims to be the best in the world. what a clown

[johnnycheck99]

Guys-it is all a deliberate act from Phil. A money making business decision to become the John MacEnroe of poker. I don't think he is really like that, i'm guessing. And it as worked.

[TeuZMatty]

DONK !

[AcesInHole]

i love how theyre talking about IQs right before hellmuth makes the dumbest fold in poker history....literally the dumbest

[crimdell]

For a guy who seems to care a LOT about how he is perceived, Hellmouth looks really BAD quite often.

[VolSton29]

thos boobies need to breathe. they are strapped in there pretty tight. lol

[jiamonx2]

15BB folding QQ? maybe if there was a re-raising war between 3 other ppl.... otherwise i couldnt fold qq with 20bigs

[flashtin166]

At least he actually laughed this time.

[kentontudor]

Sexton - "Oh he didn't have pocket Queens."

[oasis4life1]

id bang little jen !!

[pedralicamosa]

He was the unlucky runner runner 3 times ( 3 F-ing times ) at the WSOP 2011. He just ain"t as good in cash games as in tournaments. You guys just watch videos of him getting mad or makind strange moves so that gives you a bad image of him.

[jonmaxwell74]

the only reason phil has 11 bracelets is because he plays more events than anyone in WSOP hisrtory. Hes simply a BAD PLAYRE as all these videos show.

[Xtr3m3rac3r]

fuck phil hellmuth, the women at 1:58 is hot

[LENUS2]

All in all, after al this 11 bracelet and cans of beer named after phil hellmuth, here comes the truth: this guy is a donk. The sooner he realises this and enjoys his earlier tournament winnings and stays out of the PAD sessions, the better for him.

I mean it, honestly!

[kichukdave]

Ive spoke with the guy that played against phil this hand, and he said that mostly likely he folded just to not lose to a amateur on national tv

[Mull84]

look at his results this wsop... cant call him a donkey...

[Nicu6923]

this guy is the worst player...

[1skullduggery]

durrrr or ivey would have re-popped it to 5k and flopped the last queen.

[1skullduggery]

he'd rather muck, instead of losing and looking bad.

[tweakmeup1]

Phil Helmuth...after winning 11 WSOP bracelets, he became the worst poker player in world. This is the most stupid fold of all time! Arrogant F--l!

[swisdude18]

chicken....one of the worst fold on the poker history

[STFC010]

whats phil thinking about? all in, its an easy decision, shit or bust

[OsefKincaid]

@pp0u1110 Maybe that it's the worst play in the history of human gaming?

[Tehui1974]

Hellmuth's play was pathetic.

[TGSM19]

Why does sexton not get up and slap hellmuth on his mouth ? He has been in the game for years , when stuey still was playing , If i was sexton i woul slap hellmuth and say your a disgrace i would imagine stuey is probaly turning in his grave if he saw this.

[sini8080]

Hellmuth: I mean what in the world can I do with this hand?

Sexton: You can call, you can raise, or you can fold.

LOL!

[zaq4267]

I only fold pocket Qs pre-flop if Jesus comes down from heaven and asked me to do so.

PS. That has not happened yet.

Im soo happy pokerview accepts US players

i remember seeing this. ridiculous decision

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

A fucking travesty that this douche has 11 bracelets...

Man mike the mouth cracked me up, he and phil are a legend together :p

[johnsmith7490]

pokerview is open to us players as well

[zoraknsg]

this isn't a cash game

[ytu2006]

LOL donkaments. How did this tool win 11 bracelets? Easy, most of them were won before anyone cared about the WSOP... when the WSOP consisted of a few decent players like Hellmuth, without a large field of really good players between him and a bracelet.

[8CAKE8is8AWESOME8]

@ytu2006 when the WSOP actually had most of the players have skill instead of the huge fields of fish that there are now.

[haicugolu]

what a pussy

such a dumb motherfucker PH, throws away QQ when he has 15 BB? i dont get it

this is just a no brainer. just shuff you idiot!!

o m gosh guy 3x and he has 15bb so what?!? ship and say fml if he has you beat such a terrible play..

[Graham6762]

Phil hellmuth jr. is the worst poker player on TV.

[hardcorl]

@Graham6762

That´s why he has 11 bracelets, ha?

[pdfabbro]

He wants to make a great laid down and have everyone see it... because of that he makes a lot of horrible laydowns... he's a terrible player now

[pdfabbro]

worst player ever

hell compare to most youtube videos... this friggin crystal clear.

[Dalleman86]

the sound isnt synced with the video.. awful upload

[zacharylansing]

Thumbs up if you agree phil just over thinks sometimes

This is one of the worst folds i've ever seen, but from the supposed "best player in the world"? LOLWTF

[888star1]

Oh Phillip, what the fuck are you doing.

[Marky1989N1]

Isn't Hellmuths hand dead when he shows Mike his cards? I know in a cash game your aloud to show your cards but this is a tournment so his hand must be dead once he shows Mike..

[Republicansaresick]

Still the nittiest PF fold ever tho.. haha

[nybombs]

what a nit

[Geovani1642]

There are a few things to consider in this hand : - Hellmuth can't just call the bet : He is an old-school player and for them 15 BBs is really just All-in or Fold mode - The commentator said that the amateur had opened with a raise only one time before in the entire session. Imagine playing 120 hands in a table with a guy that NEVER raises preflop, and then suddenly he raises and you have QQ. I am not saying that it was a good fold, I'm only saying that Hellmuth had solid reasons to fold.

[Republicansaresick]

@Geovani1642

Exactly, based on the face value of the cards it's a shove every time with this stack size, but Phil is naturally paranoid. This other dudes opening range appears to Phil and the commentators to be tighter than 88+, AQ+ -maybe he is a nit whos had a trash run with cards for the last hour and decides, you know what I'm gunna steal this Hellmuth nit's BB with my AQs. So based on his apparent range, I don't totally disagree with the fold. I don't like it but I don't hate it. Its gross

[MrBluebulldog77]

Hellmuth opened up his game the last few years after watching these idiots 3 and 4 bet with crap........online poker has killed poker.........any lucky idiot can win now.

[Spicoli56]

Do any of you uber-donks even know what a triple range merge is? The loose cannon's range is so polarized that a fold is the optimum play. But Hellmuth only has 11 World Championships, so what does he know?

[musvlehead]

@Spicoli56 11 bracelets true majority came back in the day with100men tourney&guys folding pocket pairs2raises.not doing what the young new generation is doing these days 2-3beting with 9high bluffing with 7 2 three bullets! he is overated unclassy nevr takes responsabilty when he loses has many tells.look here on utube show me more then 1cash game wer he doesnt get crushed hes the laughin stock among his peers now he folds QQ short stacked took5min like a fool! durr ivey true poker.hellmuth abc

[Blas01]

@Spicoli56 Suppose that you shove and he only calls when he has KK or AA... You win because you risk $9000 to win $1800, but he is only calling you 1% of the time, which means you pick up $1800 99% of the time and lose $9000 1%. And that's if the guy only calls with KK or AA, if we add some more hands there like AKs he is in better shape. So shoving is better than folding here.

[DRondeel]

@Blas01 he would only calling 1% of the time? thats total bs

[toby0cooper]

@Blas01 You're assuming that he would be raising with any 2 cards here. If that were true then he would call less than 1% if he had AA or KK. But given that that was the second time he raised preflop he is obviously being very selective with his raising hands. If his min raising requirements are say AQ and 10 10, we might assume he would be calling all in with QQ or AK (though I think probably a lot more hands than that). In that case he would be calling all in with 80% of his hands

[Blas01]

@toby0cooper Against such a tight range it's a fold. Let's say his range is TT+ and AQ++? That would be very selective but can go with that, it's a 5% raise. The math would be: .80*(($9000*.40)-($9000*.60)) + .20($2700) = -$900. However it would be very tight for someone to be only raising 5%!!! As we expand his raising range we get closer to a correct shove, but if Phil knows this guy as such a tight raiser I do agree with the fold.

[toby0cooper]

@Blas01 Based on the evidence, and possibly the fact that he's an amateur, it does seem that he has an incredibly tight range tbh

[Blas01]

@toby0cooper Yes I agree, and I'm sure Hellmuth knew this :)

[kolst8406]

@Blas01 You aren't taking hand frequency into account. There are 48 hands in your 5% range. 16 of them are ace king, against which Phil is about a 55-45 favorite. 8 of them are AQ, against which Phil is an even bigger favorite, 67-33. That's 24 total hands in which Phil is the favorite, fully half of the total hands! The paired hands cancel each other out (AA, KK, vs JJ, TT), so Phil is a solid favorite against this range. He should have shoved.

[s0ldier898]

@Spicoli56 im sure u figured that out 6min quicker than phil did. gee i didnt kno this was for 5million

[MrJacked86]

lol sexton,,u can u can raise you can fold,,lol

[robyrizzo84]

-New generation players 3bet with queens & someone( Durrr) can 4bet or 5bet.

-Old generation players 3bet or snapcall in this spot.

-Phil Hellmuth folds cause he is still convinced to be the best player in the world.

poker is the biggest joke ever, its like going this coin will come up 'heads tails tails tail heads' and being right and everyone going 'oh wow you're amazing, good call' but if you get it wrong they go 'wow what an idiot' when it was just luck what came up lol

[VicenzoV]

The guy opens for 3 times the big blind and Hellmuth has QQ. Why does he act like he has this life-changing decision?

Ahh, that's right, it's Hellmuth. Tv time.

[bobzani]

@VicenzoV  Exactly right!

[Foreverguga1]

@VicenzoV

The guy is a pathological attention seeking crybaby.

Asking for a minute to think but he is not thinking at all. What's going through his head is " I really hope he happens to have KK+ this time so I look smart if I'm right"

The fact is that PH is a total cash game retard. The only reason why people watch him is because it's entertaining when he goes broke

[donmajikjuan]

@Foreverguga1 your opinionated and dumb.

[sanguinarius2]

@Foreverguga1 Hellmuth is a lot better than some nobody piece of shit like you sitting infront of a computer and acting like a fucking poker expert. He probably makes dozens of times more money than you, so shut the fuck up.

[freqe]

@sanguinarius2 foreverguga1 wasnt acting like a poker expert he was just commenting on hellmuth's character. u sld stfu

[kuja900]

@sanguinarius2 Hes a no nothing about poker media whore

[roycesboy]

@Foreverguga1 how is he a cash game retard?

[Marky1989N1]

@Foreverguga1: Exactly i have only been watchin 4/5 years and at no point have i ever thought Hellmuth was a good player! He is an arragont asshole who constantly makes a fool of himself, just look at how he enters the WSOP main event, always making a scene and looking for attention! He makes me sick he thinks he is so important and the most annoying this of all is he really isnt any good at all, a classic example of somebody whos ego is greater then there talent

[boredfun91]

@Marky1989N1

And honestly, 90% of the medium and even small stakes regs are better cash game players than Hellmuth. He just happened to get into the game before the boom and made his money before all of the talented cash game online grinders got out there.

[trixapete]

@Foreverguga1 why do you think he cant play cash but can play tournaments well? is it a different skill set do u think or what?

[Foreverguga1]

@trixapete

Absolutely. First of all, cash games are mostly played against fierce competition. The guys he's sitting down with have made their money by consistently beating other winning players.

Phil Hellmuth made his money playing huge MTTs, with 90% of the field being amateurs that are literally donating their chips to him. Making bad calls and paying him off.

PH can outlast donks but he's not nearly in the same league as cash game pros.

I'm 100% sure he can't beat $2-$4 online

[Foreverguga1]

@trixapete

He made his money by simply waiting for aces and kings, playing fit or fold poker in full ring MTTS.

Half of the table doesn't realize he's only playing monster hands and still pay him off with middle pair.

If you wait for big hands in 6max cash against pros, people destroy you. He needs to balance big value bets with big bluffs but he's still applying this poor MTT strategy that only works against total retards. He got blinded out vs Antonio, desperately waiting for big hands

[zerep006]

@Foreverguga1

You're right about him using MTT stategy on a cash game but to say he has a poor MTT strategy is crazy. He has made a lot of money with his strategy, he has 11 WSOP bracelets (more than anybody else). Cmon you just hate the guy so you talk shit, I don't care much for him either but you have to respect him as a poker player.

[Foreverguga1]

He won his bracelets in times when poker was a taboo and the fields were even worse than they are at the WSOP nowadays. No MTT winner will ever gain my respect. Jamie Gold won 8 million dollars not even knowing the basics to beat $1-$2 cash games online.

I do respect online S&G grinders playing HU or 6 max having an edge because they CONSISTENTLY beat others.

Hellmuth will never ever gain my respect. His thought proces about poker in general is pathetic. Plenty of evidence about it online

[zerep006]

@Foreverguga1 You cant compare Jamie Gold to Hellmuth. Hellmuth has been winning for over 20 years, Jamie just won 1 tournament but Phil cashes in tournaments consistently. 3 2nd place finishes this year at the wsop all in other games than holdem has to mean something.I respect all poker players from cash to SnG to MTT because no matter which game you play, they are all tough to win at consistently.

[Foreverguga1]

@zerep006

You are right. Jamie Gold is 7 steps higher on the ladder of stupidity. Hellmuth has a serious edge on amateurs in live games, Gold hasn't. Maybe PH has more edge on them than Durrrr or any other online wizzard. So that is a quality he definitely has. But if you let hem play poker with the highest level thinkers, he gets destroyed because they are not nearly in the same league. If Hellmuth were to play online poker with Ivey, Dwan, Antonius, Isildur etc, he'd lose at 8BB/100 no doubt

[BigSAK88]

@Foreverguga1 Yet he makes so much money through sponsor and they keep inviting him back on tv more than anyone, so maybe theres a hidden genius that knows what hes doing

[Foreverguga1]

@BigSAK88

They invite him because it's entertaining to see how he cries like a baby. Youtube is full of it.

And there is no genius in him. If you can beat $1-$2 cash games online and you hear him explaining his reasoning in PAD cash games, you realize that he has the poker intellect of a novice player. He made all his money playing with novice players in MTTs. He can't beat any decent cash game over a decent sample of hands because he is a total cash game fish.

And every pro knows it

[BigSAK88]

@Foreverguga1 Hes not the best poker player, infact he sucks in cash games... pretty good in tournaments but this whole "crying" and making a scene thing is an act for the most part.. he does because he knows this is whats getting him constantly invited... hate him or love him hes entertaining to watch...

[ELREndLondonRule]

@BigSAK88 Exactly. Getting as more exposure on TV as possible can only do good for him and his bank account, which is why he keeps it up, any grown man would, at this point, look back and say "yeah, I've been a whiny little bitch" if it was genuine.

[bannedfromutube1]

@Foreverguga1 You really should consider killing yourself. You would not be missed by anyone. Please consider it.

[gazz12345a]

@Foreverguga1 You've never met Phil Hellmuth or played at his level, but you've seen a few clips of him on youtube so you're clearly an expert.

[Foreverguga1]

A few? Enter the name and the first 31 links you find are meltdowns, insults and pathetic plays. No good reads, no strong poker or whatsoever.

You don't know me and you don't know at what stakes I play. Tell me your screen names if you want to find out

[EBeBIG]

@VicenzoV He doesn't wanna lose to an amateur on TV.

[VicenzoV]

@EBeBIG Did you ask the Hellmuth?

[ImDrizzt]

He's for sure a showman lol, gotta give him credit for that even though he's mediocre at cash games at best =]

[Spicoli56]

I'm laughing so hard at the 1-2 NL pros commenting here. This is actually a great fold. The very definition of a sick triple range merge by Hellmuth. Of course you donks wouldn't know that.

[texasalltheway1]

@Spicoli56 it doesnt matter what you call it its a terrible fold. also you dont sound smart just  trying to use random poker terms

[gavnastyyy]

sickest slow roll ever if he shoved.

[Bigbriansc]

I don't see the fold either, but if you listen the announcer says thats only the second time the guy had opened up. Phils not a gambler, and he probably figured if he shoved he was getting called, maybe even being behind, definately against AA, KK or AK and he doesn't like flips pre flop. I've folded queens pre flop too, but never in that spot. Still, I agree its a crazy lay down, but Phil does have some pretty crazy instinct...even though he was pretty off on that one.

i was playing poker last week with my mates

and i had a QQ and i made a raise 1,500

than another one Re raise it to 3,000

i with out any doubt fold the hand

than he show me his cards he had AA

so it was a nice lay down by me

[AndyLad84]

@josger16 It's not a great laydown surely, as you're getting more than 3:1 so if you're sure he has AA then you can play for set value....
