Phil Hellmuth vs Mike Baxter on High Stakes Poker Season 4

[smack9923]

Um what if Hellmuth had a set which was possible by the way he was talking about baxter having j10 and him charging the max.The 44 k bet would of been perfect if he had a set so that's probably what he was thinking for getting mike baxter to fold.Baxter would of called 25 k anyways 44 k was better imo.

I dont know how baxter even made the call when hellmuth called his hand on the turn.

@smack9923 "Um what if Hellmuth had a set which was possible" everyhand is possible... baxter can have KJ (lol). so comment like that is irrelevant... the mistake phil made is he took baxter lightly and talk like he is playing a bad player (i imagine he wont say a word if he's against phil ivey) which actually gave away more than he gain... the fact that he said "it's going to be less" and bet 44k anywayz actually give up more information..

[Streetlife361]

phil talked too much in this hand so baxter suspect somethuing if he would be quit he would win the hand

[OceanSkate401]

@Streetlife361 how did you get any thumbs up? you mis-spelt "quiet".

[rmur23]

@OceanSkate401 You misspelled misspelled.

[OceanSkate401]

[91Holdem]

[accord21]

All the table talk cost phil hellmuth this hand. These idiots need to go back and read poker etiquette 101.

[DontQuoteMeBut]

@accord21 I was thinking the same thing.

[danielvandam]

Proread from phil

[futuroleghista]

He lost when he told baxter hand.



[superdave31]

baxter is a jank player one of those players where yeh he plays great when hes got the hands... but shit when hes in a tough spot

[DrDemo]

@superdave31

Phil? Is that you?

[ABlackbirdOnline]

@superdave31 was this not a tough spot? he only had second pair against a big bet, didn't exactly have a great hand.

[Juntahh]

He even called out the guys hand , wow and the donkey still calls lol

[Augz1776]

@Juntahh You're the fish. Phil's 40k bet made it way obvious. It's a polarized bet amount. It reads bluff or nuts and Helmuth obviously didn't have the nuts since he was repping AA from the start. That bet wasn't meant to get value because only 2 pair hands would call. It was meant to blow him off and Baxter read it for what it was and called him with a Bluffcatcher. Learn how to play before you bash Baxter, noob. 25k like Matusow and Laak were saying would of been MUCH harder to call

[Juntahh]

@Augz1776 fish ftl

[lukessummerguitar]

@Augz1776

Unless of course Phil was range merging with A 10 ( just kidding, nice analysis).

[FellOnSoundGarden]

Todd Brunson is such a fat scummy piece of shit.

[SalvatoreMaranzano]

What a pleasure to see Hellmuth loosing.... :-)

[Element1516]

@SalvatoreMaranzano well then i suggest watching all his cash game vids! lol never seen him win a session

[DnPStabiE]

Helmuth is so weak :D :D terrible player

[Markb2477]

@DnPStabiE Phil is a great player. He has won 11 WSOP bracelets the most of any other player in the world. I will admit that he talks alot of trash at the table. 

[max34be]

@Markb2477 phil is a great TOURNAMENT player !! he sux at cash game

[1454LOU]

@Markb2477 total idiot.

[Markb2477]

@1454LOU please explan to me what I said for you to call me a total idiot

[bierbuik]

Haha that's the first time ever I have seen Phil make a good read! Had to happen one time...

Excellent call by Baxter btw.

[CFCwillyb]

joke

[galeng]

That's like the worst turn card to bluff on.

[thedreamdealer]

Mike Bacter;s back and there's gonna be trouble HEY NOW hey now MIKE BAXTER'S back!

[1871bismarck]

i think if he would have actually bet less on the river as he said he would the other guy wouldnt have called. Maybe would have put him on qq's, of kk's.

[wigglezwow]

nice read

[XtremeJeffNeroHardyX]

well Phil has had a rly good Read,first time in his life :D

[Gforcebond]

[bennybody]

[sevalnev]
