this is why you dont play 22

[macrda13]

How can you call this good play? Look at the table

[daven58100]

"Great bet at the river". Yeah, but not as great as the call.

[wolfpackforlife]

hellmuth is a donk. hes a nit donk. hes a nionk.

[bshen88]

Ivey just doing what he does...

[utukiamia]

i think title should be "this is how poker brad plays 22"

[xViLLa7]

AMAZING TABLE

[markokal1]

what season/episode is this?

[m04a40]

I like, how the like/dislike bar looks like the chances that you usually have with 22

[jamastabass]

the best poker retard ever

[plopsywhopsy]

Def was on the tilt when he made that call. Time to quit, take a lot of years off poker and come back to get another WPT ring

[IPkDevilz]

Honney.... he called the raise on the river with 2 deuces...

[M139NG]

WTF is Hellmuth doing???

And lol @ Matusow saying "Phil is def gonna win this pot":) This is true!

[aspiringbodhisattva]

Phil Helmuth is a pro poker player. But is also a pro (i.e. paid) WHINER. (Negr. is a pro poker player AND pro Troll).

[Number1ricky]

Wait wait wait.. This video doesn't mention anything about Hellmuth being respectful to his opponent instead of blowing up?!!??

[TheSkyDev]

@Number1ricky its ivey... you gotta respect that guy

[TheSageofWestRiding]

Haha. Is it wrong to love watching Phil get played repeatedly?

[elfenelf]

when he started arguieng by himself, ivey know he is ahead :)

[stillmatic117]

when i saw it was hellmuth with the 22 - i was insta happy

[jpjames1]

if he checks the flop and sticks to playing it like hes on trips and bets huge on the river he takes it down. easier said than done. But thats how Dwan would of played it. Gotta have some balls

[TheDarkSide363]

3:52 WOW. Phil Hellmuth actually respected another poker player.

[kyle3420]

@TheDarkSide363 ya really. I was half expecting Phil to start telling Ivey that he's an idiot LOL.

[SN011GlobeTrot]

me hate poker :(

[SN011GlobeTrot]

This video makes me want to throw up my lunch

[WaspSnG]

Title is hilarious. 22 is a fantastic hand to play. Flop a set, double through. Flop 3 overs, easy fold.

[iminyouhead]

@JJTHEBIGDOG AND @0210MICK LAST HE WON OUT GOOD WAS 2007 I JUST THINK HE IS A OLD DOG MY OWN THOUGHT BUT HIS ATTITUDE IS STINKS LOL

[iminyouhead]

hellmuth is shite i could beat him

[JJTheBigDog]

@iminyouhead but he has money won from poker and you don't. i wonder how that comes.

[0210mick]

@iminyouhead believe me, no

[PeterRoeder31]

Great bet on the river. 

[aur3ll4]

i thought the turn was going to be a 2 and then a Q or J on the river haha

[mucknfold]

Ivey vs Hellmuth 1037-4

[Sadfying]

he GAVE TOO MUCH information, I mean after that talk ivey knew A J owned hellmuth

[RandomStereotype]

horrbully played

[jcnanaman]

zynga poker material

[weatherallc05]

how can people say hellmuth is a donkey?! its donks who call his pre flop raises with fucking shit. hes won 20 million + for fuck sake

[WhiteRabbitm8te]

@weatherallc05 i think phil is good i just think he should stick to tournament poker which is what won him his winnings in the first place

[MrDungcute]

@weatherallc05 He's not a donk but he got no manner ... Shit cunt Hellmuth

[xXAnthony619Xx]

I thumbed down the video before watching... Yes, look at a flop with deuces.

[NapanTR]

donkey time for helmuth lol

[051985bumblebee]

lol i dont understand how hellmuth won so much.. with plays like these.. im pretty sure anyone could own him.

[weatherallc05]

@051985bumblebee yeahh and then he owns them twice as hard

[KakashiHatakeeee]

lol he's a donk

[0210mick]

@KakashiHatakeeee yh a donk with 5000x more money than you?

[KakashiHatakeeee]

@0210mick ok with more money but he's still a donk

[0210mick]

@KakashiHatakeeee If he was a donk, he wouldn't made so much money with poker

[KILLtheMESSENGER101]

@0210mick last few years hes lost alot in high stakes he cant match with the big pros these days he always goes in with marginal hands and always! thinks hes ahead and there trying to outplay him when really hes always second best.

[KakashiHatakeeee]

@0210mick you're phil hellmuth or what?

he played that awful

[ilovemymac123]

@KakashiHatakeeee he`s the donk with the most bracelet

[MRACE474]

is a bit of a donk play maybe he put him on, a 10 or ak but worse is the info about his hand helmuth does that 2 often and it always makes u look weak ,thinkin out loud is so amateurish,

[lolh3llo]

Ah, its Hellmuth. Nuff said :P

[getduloh]

phil hellmuth truly is a donkey and this video proves it. WOW. how nice it would be to have the bankoll to play a big cash game with him. flop is qqj, he bets and gets called. that alone should have shut down the hand. on the turn 9/10 makes a straight with the 8, yet he check calls another bet. then check calling a 3rd bet on the river is just nuts. pure donkey. amazing. only hand he beats is K/10. any pocket pair, any jack, any queen and 9/10 beat him. nice play hellmuth, nice play.

[SuperPedro1976]

@getduloh U FORGOT AT.ONLY TO REMEMBER YOU.CUZ I KNOW ITS A REALLY BAD PAY IN THE FLOP,IMAGINE TILL THE TIVER.

[xxNutcasexx]

raising deuces is a bad play to begin with.

[mookixox]

I'm embarassed for him...What a donkey.

[steveparok00]

what an idiot! ur supposed to fold when he bet the FLOP. how can you last into the river with ducks? Theres too many overcards dumbass! LOL

[AngelaCarton]

@steveparok00 Why do they let people like you comment on Poker, seriously. You're a nobody, giving advice to two of the greatest players in the world.

Do you go on boxing videos and tell Mike Tyson how to throw a hook, too?

Sit down and shut the fuck up.

[steveparok00]

@AngelaCarton I do dumbass! fag....

[L1zardK1n9]

@steveparok00 although your somewhat right i can tell you don't play mid-high stakes ever...

[steveparok00]

@L1zardK1n9 what do you mean somewhat? its obvious you idiot! ROFL. how do donkeys like you survive life? ^_^

[Be4TinGyoU]

World class call right there!

[bb2556]

this is not why dont you play 22 :(. is not to fell in love with 22

[NikD7]

Hellmuth always loose! Sure Most of NL25 players will win him!

[MrPresident2032]

Hellmuth played it like an amateur. 1) Talked too much. The only way Ivey would be scared of is off he put Hellmuth on a monster. Normal people don't start yapping with superb hands. 2) Hellmuth should have realised Ivey wasn't bluffing, his raises classic strong hand play.

Your lucky to get one sign in any given hand. When you get 2 from the two players both pointing in one direction (that Ivey had him) you throw away your mediocre pocket.

[omgffs007]

great bet on the river ...

[jimbeamish83]

what....the...fuck....is phil doing!!! just lost respect for him as a player, this was just terrible

[stokventje]

Ivey says "thanks" at the end but he really wanted to say: thanks for the money dumbass!

[CanadaMMA]

Omg, he called a bet with 2 pair and the ace kicker! How do you call a bet with two pair and an ace kicker? Doesn't he know who I am? I'm Phil Hellmuth!

[FeistyMcFeisty1]

Does Hellmuth ever win money in cash games? Think I saw him win pretty big once on Poker After Dark but only because Bob Safai that rich real estate guy blows and seems to love playing 2-5 in big pots. Other than that one night I've only ever seen him get destroyed, usually felted too. I wouldn't care so much if he wasn't such a dick about it. :)

[theblemishedone]

Damn it...the Yankees lost to Seattle...

[tqsuited]

@theblemishedone go mariners!

[OceanSkate401]

@theblemishedone its not even baseball season right now?

[Mediumchild]

hellmuth makes one mistake... if he really thought he had ivey, why would u be talking in the first place LOL

[kodiak1984]

I think the title should be 'this is HOW you don't play 22'.

[GaChristianHY]

@kodiak1984 Seriously, I win with so many set of 2's on the flop. I have been lucky never to run into set over set though... hahaha maybe I should stop pushing my luck...

[directorbeau]

@GaChristianHY

odds of set over set is not very likely...i read this on a forum : "Therefore, the probability of set-over-set occurring, given our initial

assumption, 176 in 17296. This is about 1.02%"

[TheElbasani13]

@kodiak1984 pokersurvive.blogspot.com/

[xTheLynkx]

I love that Phil Ivey is the only one whose plays Hellmuth doesn't criticise.

[sydneymassive]

he tells him what he has on the turn, he really needs to shut up during hands

[TRexBAKARoSe]

this is why u dont want to play dueces out of position with QJQ flop...u might think that after checking the turn,ur opponent bets,he's bluffing...

[wakko380]

how can phil still have money left.. i mean i can only see vids of him losing!!!

[PepDawg7171]

Stay away from 22!

[bandet888]

With 22 you want to hit a set. If you don't and somebody bets then get out unless you think your opponent is bluffing.

[unleashymma]

Chris jesus ferguson ? robbing all those people ? thats not jesus would do :P

[Assimilate71]

Actually, this is why you don't play like a donkey.

[JohnLeeMD]

Get a glimpse of a real live Ponzi schemer at 2:34

[agent008t]

@JohnLeeMD But when the government lets the banks do the exact same thing FullTilt did, or when the government does it themselves, it is somehow suddenly ok?

[Bladen12345]

change the title to "this is why you dont play against ivey"

[HoboSamHam]

phil sucks

[OHHYEAWAKEUPYEA]

The only person who can play 22 and get away with it is phil :P ( i dont actually mean hes the ONLY one, but you gotta love the guy)

[Johntzik]

he is the worst player in cash games amongst the pros...The worst....And he tries to beat the best....Not really Phill hahahaha

[PojebanyMany]

who made that title? Small pairs like 22 and suited conectors like 67 are the best hands. Like most of pros says in the books you can win big pot playin small pairs or loss small amount of ur chips if u miss. On the other side if ur not capable of folding big pairs you will almost always win small pots with them and lose big ones. Good luck for you in poker if you dont play small pairs.

[sondre2409]

hellmuth nods for 10 secs from 3:40 lol

[rojo87able]

3:57 Ivey's Face,hahahaahahahahaaha WTF!!!!!

[MeGaGliedda]

Phil is crazy o.o but, what a boss!

[FortyOzSwilla]

always notice how when hellmuth is in bad shape during a pot the mouth always comes in and says "phil's definitely going to win this pot" you got a read mike?

[fulltimespy]

when I got 22 and don't hit on the flop I throw them away

[zazenzach]

love helmuth. he always either flips his shit or has a meltdown.

you could see an atomic explosion goo off when he saw phil had him

[gayisrave]

wait.... how can you play 22? there ain't no card called 22, dummies...

[IGhOztZI]

@gayisrave he means pocket dueces u idiot

[gayisrave]

@IGhOztZI NO SHIT

[IGhOztZI]

@gayisrave then what are you mouthing off at you fucking idiot, everyone knows that when he says 22 his referring to pocket dueces you absolute moron

[gayisrave]

@IGhOztZI in case you still haven't noticed dip shit, i was not being serious so take your little temper tantrums elsewhere you little looooser

[gtekeeper]

Where is "Honey he only had A J"?

[schiki]

this donkey phil helmuth is like a girl, he is like cristiano ronaldno in football. he plays good but cry every time if something is wrong

[agarg1402]

when u gt 3 overcards hw can u even call on pair of 2 ...n then he ll moan...,inspite of having a feeling its nt abt feelinf its abt implying odds

[agarg1402]

when u gt 3 overcards hw can u even call on pair of 2 ...n then he ll moan...,i knew that...

[69aussieguy]

If you have a small pair and can see the flop cheaply, then play and hope you get a set.....if you don't get something on the flop, you should just fold. The odds are you will lose in the end, unless you can bluff the other guy.....never just call with that hand.

[JRS030]

Hellmuth is a great player, nobody can say that isn't true but this was pretty bad playing, right?

[ss11223344ful]

No one can deny his achievements in the past. There is no doubt he is one of the greatest tournament players ever - and still is a great player against the 'average' punter. But against pro's, he just comes across as lame - they know all his tricks and know exactly how to put him on tilt.

[gutgd]

I never do...

[culchy1971]

thats called Owning the fish!!!

[ss11223344ful]

This is why Phil Helmuth shouldn't play 22 - or almost any hand - against good players now days.

[Xmaggot93X]

@ss11223344ful This is just why Phil Hellmuth shouldn't play poker in general.

[fulltimespy]

If I have a low pair and I don't hit it on the flop I lay it down.

[Shirazae]

No, this is just why you don't play 22 like this. I actually love the small pairs because there are very few difficult decisions to be made when playing them.

[daveygravey123456]

@Shirazae lol i love to play poker against people like you, so much dead money

[dieselboy87]

@Shirazae exactly, they are either powerhouses or air, and you can usually tell on the flop. easy to hold or easy to fold, most of the time.

[bestpokercoach]

When I saw who was in the hand, I knew phil would win

[wakko380]

@bestpokercoach what phil ? ;oo XD

[bestpokercoach]

When I saw who was in the hand, I knew phil would win.

[MRFAKEMOVIE]

Phil Helmuth worst cashgamer alive

[Xmaggot93X]

I haven't seen a single video of Hellmuth making a correct call.

Phil Hellmuth has to be the worst poker player in the history of the game.

[metalrules13]

@Xmaggot93X Yeah, that's why he's won the most WSOP bracelets in history, he's been inducted to the Poker Hall Of Fame, he's fourth on the all time money list etc.

Your comment has to be worst comment in the history of Youtube. Go back to Zynga Poker kid.

[Xmaggot93X]

@metalrules13 He cries like a bitch and his speeches give him away.

"Is this even possible?" could be the worst intimidation ever. If he had QQ, he wouldn't say shit. He'd nonchalantly check or raise. In fact, even if he had Q3, the only hand that could beat him would be 9-10 (or A-10 praying that 9 shows up on the river), and good luck with finding a guy who goes in with that. Yes Phil, it is possible. If he has a Queen, Jack, or 8, he'll beat you. You aren't fooling shit.

[metalrules13]

@Xmaggot93X Hellmuth doesn't play crappy hands like Q3, and if he had QQ he would have raised much more preflop. Ivey of course knows this.

Hellmuth's talking probably gave up the strength of his hand, but I guess he was trying to get a read out of Ivey, thinking Ivey might have air.

He was wrong here, but his reading ability is usually impressive. Have you seen him call JC Tran's all in with a pair of 8s on a scary board, or folding a flush when Durrr had a fullhouse? Obviously you haven't.

[IMakeBoringVideos]

@metalrules13 not that im downplaying phil melmuth's skills. but hes not a good cashgame player. hes a tournament player. if you've watched all the live poker cashgame shows they make mention to how weak phil is at cashgames. and he does give away alot of info via table talk....

[metalrules13]

@IMakeBoringVideos I agree 100%. He's not even close to the level of guys like Ivey, Dwan, Antonius etc on cash games. Tournaments are where he clearly is at his best. I was only responding to some guy who said that Hellmuth is the worst player of all time.

[FroztDrake]

@Xmaggot93X i dont think hes the worst by far...hes a really good tournament player... but i can agree with you on that "making a correct call" ive watched A LOOT of poker... and he rly doesnt do anything impressive or outplaying anyone...

[Xmaggot93X]

@FroztDrake But I mean really. QQ22 is a good hand, but a terrible two pair, especially with a J and an 8 on the table. I don't know what Hellmuth was thinking, but he never fails to impress me with his terrible calls.

I think the video should have stopped at where Hellmuth called with 22.

[gafrancisco]

i understand wht phil is thinking QQ ... is giving him 2 outs Q or 2 ...

[snoopdoggm17]

ivey eyes are somekind of creeoy

[jbolton04]

If I don't flop set.. I fold XD

[daven58100]

Why is Hellmuth considered such a great player?  What a stupid fucking call.

[Pccesar3]

Mike Never plays a hand and Helmuth Is an Idiot.

[max34be]

this is why you dont play against Phil Ivey....

[Boubben]

Thats why you don't play 22 out of position in a heads up pot vs Phil Ivey.

[KevinDorner]

Incredible how much of information Hellmuth gives out before the hand is over.

[ShatiWorks]

Phil thinks he's unbeatable - he is full of himself and sucks cock at the same time.

[rekNball69]

Come on, this is ivy.. He doesn't even know when he has a flush. Lol. He might not even had noticed the jack on board lol

[HashUurr]

Does hellmuth realy think that ivey called all the way long with just As hight ? If he does hmmmm .... LOL ........

[04joshua40]

ik agree



[improfision]

@04joshua40 ik agree?

[PAKIJIMI]

that was a donk call by helmouth every street.
