5:50. " fold fold fold fold fold fold ". The best poker player i ever knew had a saying " the KEY to poker is aggression ,the SECRET to poker is folding ". I'm not sure if that is true but i never forgot it.
This is an interesting presentation. Phil seriously has an elementary view on holdem, but his grasp on that elementary view is astounding. His simple game is not complex, but it is extremely difficult to play against.
@@prettyboynewton5957 titles lol. Real poker players play cash games. The luck factor in tournies is enormous and he doesn't pay for a single buy in and he's old. The younger guys are light years above him.
If Phil had just a little more targeted aggression he would be the all time money leader and several more bracelets and WSOP titles. I'm impressed he still produces results with the new age of poker players. To my knowledge, he has not played against the top AI bots that are beating the top pros in demo games. I would love to see how Phil does against the top poker bot.
LMFAO! I do NOT remember seeing this video, and when I saw this comment I was very surprised.... I do not remember writing this either.... It was funny though I'll thumb it up and stroke myself ;D
If you are just starting playing and scared to raise try this, online poker put tape over the screen so you can see your cards ,[ low limit], then try some raises and reraises and see if you can win the pot. its good fun and good practice.
@Arkadi Danielyan I realized it when his first slides were "my top 10 hands". then his next advice was to literally re-raise without even looking at your cards, but its okay if you only do it once every hr. you think there's some sort of missing context, but nah.
Makes me think this is a hard troll job. getting paid to teach bad poker and steal their money at the table. There's no way he won that much money with this knowledge. but hey some people work harder than they can teach.
I wrote this comment before I became a highstakes reg and had ever played with hellmuth in a real event. We played in 10k Turbo bounty. He Raised utg1 off 11b got 3b by Deoxy folded and got shown a 3, the next hand he opens utg off 9bb, Deoxy 3bs, Hellmuth jumps out of chair and says you must have a good hand this time and folds. Deoxy shows another 3. Still a bad video btw.
It's like there's a constant miscommunication with Phil and whoever wrote his slides. It's almost like he wrote the slides and then purposefully corrected himself so he could point out how amazing he thinks he is
Poker has (probably) 4 main factors; Statistics Patients Bet level Personality You won't win if you can't align with the last one (or any)... Whether with it or without it, you'll lose the second factor to it if you're hating this presentation because of it. Lots of players have a big ego... Phil Hellmuth's has a grey ego... Can't hate it or love it (despite outside of poker he is very likable)... He has etiquettes... This presentation could be tony g being a pure asshole which you still have to size up, tolerate and maybe use against him in a game. Then again, I doubt everyone here will bother listening...
stefstefstef6789 wrong it had everything to do with image. choose an image and use it to ur advantage. Phil used the safe tight Image to induce unnecessary folds, I like to use a aggressive image to get unnecessary calls.
Image -> Patients and Personality, although you're neglecting patients. Take a look at all the winning Tournament players... they used patients. All other forms of poker (gameshow) is just luck.
Absolutely. It really is time people stopped acting like churlish children. If he is so 'outdated' and if youtibe would have us believe he's 'terrible why does he win. Why is he successful and living a life of playing poker. Does no other pro enter these tournaments...oh they do? Why don't they achieve as much as him with their superior knowledge and talent? Phils the greatest
I don't mind his personality at all, but I believe strongly if he didn't come off so arrogant he would be considered the best. People hate on him because of how he carries himself, when he stops playing I believe the narrative will shift to him being the greatest
Wsop speaker : "John Hennigan is all-in with the pair of nines and Phil Hellmuth with the .... Wait what?? Ten deuce of diamond ?? Are you kidding me??"
The reason Phil's a great tournament player is because phil knows you must stay alive. In cash games phil tries to trap too much and lets people catch up.
I came to the conclusion that he just trolls everybody for the fun of it. Like hes making fun of himself but noone gets it and takes him seriously, then he just rolls with it.
What is this joke? I couldn't finish it. Unprepared, mostly talking about himself and his big ego, showing photos of politicians with him and saying nothing about tournament strategy except his big ego and his amazing reading ability. The first slide is about "his" top ten rule(if you read his book, one old one, when all the tips are obviously stolen form Doyle's book, just compare them ). Really? He hasn't changed that thing? Playing only 10 hands. Today? He goes to talk over a public and he hasn't deleted this slide? And shows himself with Bill Clinton? Are we serious? Is this a joke?
I though I would learn something new, but instead I realized why nobody likes Phil Hellmuth. Complete joke. I CHALLENGE PHIL HELLMUTH FOR HEADS UP NO LIMIT HOLDEM 100K HANDS! EVERYTIME, EVERYWHERE
he did'nt look at his cards for about a dozen hands in a tournament many years ago and he acts like this is his normal strategy...lol. he doesn't have to worry about his image at the table. every player knows it. every player wants to own him at the table because he is a condescending prick... he doesn't play the way he ascribes to here; and why is 2/3 of the video all about him mingling with celebrities? this guy is the worst ever spokesman for poker.
Sooo..he talks reterted..walks reterted..then explains reterted strategy but keeps winning?? This man's the gd keyser soze of poker idc what anybody says
LOL "worst........" Yeah your right , the guy who has the most bracklest in histories is the worst players/teacher in history. I don't know why i waste my time on trolls like you seems that you don't know a shit about poker.When you win 15 bracklets (more then sir Hellmuth) then you start to talk shit about him but until then just shut the f*ck up. Smell troll all the way to my house
Lol do you use my grammar as an excuse , i guess i shoulden't talk to children like you. This goes to show that you haden't any respons on what i said. gg idiot
