I understand trying to build the channel, but constantly being told to press like to subscribe over and over and over again trying to watch these guys play is really hard lol
I cant speak for rest of the match but in this 1 hour preview phil ran super hot and way better than koon and somehow still managed to have less chips because he found a way to punt it all off in one donkey move. GOAT for sure...
his "white magic" supposedly prevents those from being caught, but sometimes they DO get caught like here. jungleman is still probably throwing things at something in his spare time everytime he remembers being bluffed off trips by a very low SPR hellmuth's double barrel with nothing hand from years ago (a heads up match where his chip lead had him as the very likely favorite to win the match prior to the hand i'm mentioning). phil clearly misread jungleman's hand as not trips and just got lucky jungle owned himself by folding in a routine call spot.
Phil Helmuth is the type of guy who will play a hand with 20% odds, think that pairing his jack on the flop is only justified, but opponent hitting an ace on the river is sucking out. Nothing is ever fair unless it benefits him.
he is one of the best players of all time because he is so smart to make people like you think this way, you really believe him but in fact his strategy is way way more advanced than you think
Seems Phil is finally acknowledging to himself that he has issues. At 58 he's eventually ready to make progress. Edit: Me starting to acknowledge to myself I had issues 7 years ago, now at 58 too, haven't yet managed to make all that much progress... Kudos to Phil anyways for being authentic!
It shocks me that Hellmuth, one of the greatest tournament players ever, does not know who has to show down first when the last round of betting goes check-check.
does anybody know why pokergo doesn't have this full match and the dwan/hellmuth full matches in their on demand database yet? these aren't new by now.
pokergo owns the rights and has a shortened version of koon/hellmuth here and dwan/hellmuth also on here but one would think a paid member could access the entire footage like some of the other ones (hellmuth/n.wright, hellmuth/negreanu, hellmuth/esfandiari and heads up dual 4 (which is differing people each time))
scratch this, i forgot the format, hellmuth/koon and hellmuth/dwan are also heads up duel 3 and are there. the koon/hellmuth is about 1 hour longer (2.5ish vs here's 1.5ish), similar on hellmuth/dwan (about 3.5 hours)
the koon/hellmuth is a bit longer than that, including the "weigh in" (the preview part shown at the start here) which is 16 minutes, there's another 2.5 for the match itself. here is 1.5 hours including those 16 minutes.
If Phil quits now he’s still up $450k overall. To challenge he’d have to come up with an additional $1,150k. Phil is 100% correct when he says Jason is more prepared for the stakes. Unless he’s staked heavily I don’t think he’ll be forthcoming with a re-challenge.
Is there a difference between "radically authentic" and child like inappropriate behavior? I'm seeing the word "authentic" being used for character description a lot lately. Most of the time "authentic" people are actually behaving in a way that used to be considered completely socially inappropriate and narcissistic.
40:00 we don't care about what food they're eating, or what flavoured water is better statistically, and stop commentating over the table talk. We're here to watch the best poker players try and felt each other.
HORRIBLE JOB @POKERGO. I am trying to watch this now and the sound is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WRONG! FIX this , please! "you had one job!" Do it and I will take out the "unlike".
In the 2nd to last hand in this video, Phil checks his hole cards before placing a bet on the river. He has top pair with a K kicker, then bets, I believe, around 1/3 pot. Is that a tell?
Checking cards before betting can be a decent tell, but high level players generally won't have such an easy exploit. They probably also check cards when they don't actually need to for balance.
koon here says "the majority of the (people on) internet thinks this is fake (i.e. they aren't really playing an 800,000 buy in heads up match)" i think/hope that's not true. might be a % that's shocking (to me) like 30% or something, but i'd bet serious money it's not 50% or higher. but maybe i'm overshooting the % of viewers/commenters on the internet being less than really stupid.
It’s not 1.6 million though, they are playing for £800.000 so the most the individual can loose is £800,000 or probably a lot less if it’s dollars $ so the Hype is not being honest. It’s hyping, if the table is 6 ways for the same money then that’s spreading the load to win a lot more for stake on entry! DG
@@tjislost I’m not as you put it, Trolling! I was pointing out that when two people put in $800,000 each, they are not playing for $160,000 they are playing for the benefit of winning or losing $800,000! Unlike if 8 people put in $200,000 each then they are playing for a proportion of the winnings,the best proportion being $1400,000 and those odds are better, based on the stake at the beginning! It’s the hype that isn’t correct. DG
@@doubleoblit Hey Dummy! If you go into a shop and buy a lottery ticket your playing for whatever the jackpot is! I understand what .8 million is, it’s the same as half the pot, so the most they can win is double their stake, as the most they can lose is .8 million. It’s 2 to 1 Dummy wrap it up in hype but those are the figures! I don’t want politicians I want honesty, because you wrap a crap present up in nice paper, it don’t make it a better present! Trump politics, I bet you voted for him!? Derrrr!
Great preview, and for those who are complaining about the price structure of $14.99 mo vs $79.99 yr, understand that they are saying if you want to watch this match, it's $15 bucks which fair or not, it's what Poker Go deems fair. They also price it like this so the yearly looks more enticing, why pay $15 for one month when you can get 12 months for $6.67 mo, or $79.99? Personally, I haven't been able to afford the fee yet, but think it's perfectly fair, and in line with what they offer which is a vast array of poker play, and knowledge. Thanks for the preview! 👍✌🎄🎅
I find it startling that people go out of their way to make fake account to claim the free subscription to pokergo, I swear people have too much time on their hand 🤦♂️
Chris Moneymaker should get royalties for Every televised match like this that is Ever played for the rest of eternity. Just sayin’. A card game with twenty minute lead in to set the match up. Pretty crazy really. If not for Moneymaker, I doubt we’d be here.
