it's not that hellmuth dosnt know how to play, it's just that he slightly, just slightly overestimates himself ♦ As Negreanu said, he will get crushed time and time again if he plays a cash game vs PA, Ivey, durrrr, he can't beat them, not ever ♦

I believe (and hope) that ihufa was mentioning the amount of StrategyPoints he could make by playing tracked, not his skin colour.

Don't think so. Instead he would be creating new threads asking why Full Tilt won't retrack his account ♦

I don't normally rate PH's cash game at all but he played the king high flush hand well in only losing the minimum. Also, in regards to the new format, it was interesting hearing Antonio's thoughts about the hand, especially how to extract value on the river immdediately after it. Thinking on that level is something I seriously need to improve on. Maybe it's obvious to a lot of players here but I'm just a lowly micro-stakes player.

I don't like the new format in general though -- it makes it too much like poker after dark. They need AJ back!! I used to think the banter between AJ and the other dude was wearing a bit thin but it's just not the same without it...

Disagree. Sure, when you can see hole cards, it looks like good play. But he's losing value in the long run if he's just calling with second nuts. But "long run" will not be the case for mister Lolmuth.

Fair enough I see your point but if he value raises surely he's only being called by a hand that beats his, i.e. the ace high flush. Is that right or am I missing something??

Esfandiari wouldn't call a big river raise from Hellmuth on that board without the nut flush. PH knows that, hence no need to raise.

I used to love HSP and watched all the season from 1 to 5 .. I definitely miss AJ Benza and I think it was a very bad decision to leave him out .. Kara is nice but the talk between AJ and Gabe was definitely much more interesting and fun imho

BTW. I just love watching the Emperor bust :-D
