Priceless
Just found this Priceless post about Phil Hellmuth at a tourny... This is translated from french but it well worth the read. Its pure hellmuth..
""At my table i had quite a few short stacks, i was in seat #7 in seat #8 was chip reese (i had a chance to get revenge for Nick, another friend who got knocked out by chip in the WSOP) in #10 Jenicide and in seat # joe cassidy (short stack) Reese has just a smaller stack than me, and a tight reputation, i was surprised to see him call a raise from UTG+3 with Kd 10d and make a royal flush and get paid by A-Q My table Broke after only 15 minutes and i changed tables, in going towards my table i see a legend of poker Phil Hellmuth, i figured his reputation as a baby was exagerated but he deserves it. He doesnt Shut up and critisize, there is rarely a sentence that he doesnt mention his 9 WSOP championchips i am in seat#5 him in #7 There was also the chip leader from day one in seat #2 and someone who must have thought they were superman they played every hand aggresivly obviously its TIM PHAN here is a conversation between tim and phil
PHIL : " If U keep playing like that , U'll go broke today "
TIM : " U want to bet that I won't go broke today "
PHIL : " Noooooooooo , I dont want U to slow down "
my 3rd hand, i limp UTG with 4-4 Phil raise to 1600 TIM call from BB I call
PHIL di : " WOW , call & call my raise like that "
FLOP 337 check-check- Phil bet , Tim check raise i fold
Phil di : " Is this going to be like that all the day ? "
and folds AQ a few rounds later, i get AdTd LP , I raise 3x the BB , cutoff call , and Phil call from the boutton , the blinds fold.
Flop : 3d6c7c
I bet 3500T$ put my elbows on the table, my hands on my head, my palms on my cheeks, and my fingers on my temples cutoff folds
PHIL : " OK ??? "
Phil thinks.....but i dont see him. he fakes mucking his cards in front of me, and asks me to move my hands i start to make them shake and he laughs and folds
In 45 minutes i get one good hand JJ and only pick up the blinds.
I try to steakl in the cutoff with Kd 3d when the table had folded around. Only Phil calls and checks in the dark Flop 2h7c8c
I bet2500T$ in the pot of~3300 and take my same stance as before with my hands over my face.
PHIL : " How many chip U have left ? " I count them
PHIL : " Now I see ur face ! ! ! ! "
JPP : " & U like my face " looking at him
PHIL : " That's the way U play ? everytime U raise preflop , U bet big on the flop ? "
JPP : " 75% of the pot , that's big for U ? "
PHIL : " U know that all the championship that I have won , it was because I was reading my opponent so well "
JPP : " ah ?! " I look him in the eyes for 30 seconds but he has sunglasses
PHIL : " U seem very confident about ur hand "
JPP : " What U read on me , that me look like so confident ? "
PHIL : " I think , that if I fold that hand , its because im a genius "
He shows top pair and folds a few hands later phil gets mad Phil Hellmuth. in one hand he raises in the dans le sb ) .
Pot of ~3800
Flop Td2h3h
PHIL throws 1500 devant lui
BB calls only
Turn Td2h3h-4h
BB bet 5000T$ quickly
Phil thinks 2 minute and calls
River : brick
BB bet 12 500T$
Phil thinks 4 minutes and call the BB shows Jh8h flush His face goes red like he is in horror
PHIL : " I cant beat a freaking amateur who call my raise with Jack-high " He stands up at a tall 6 foot 6
PHIL : " I just flop top set & got beat by a monkey with J8 ! "
Le gars avec J8 : " I feel bad , Phil , that U take a bad beat , but that's not a reason to treat me of a monkey "
PHIL : " U watch television sometime ? "
J8 : " yes I watch televisions with my kids "
PHIL : " U saw how many time I win tournements ? "
J8 : " That's not a reason , if U want , we'll go outside , & we'll find out who of me or U is the monkey "
PHIL : " I didn't U were a monkey ! ...I just say that I cant beat a monkey with J8 "
END OF DISSCUSSION Here is my elimination . with only 14 500Total$ , and blinds 300-600 Ante 75 . i limp utg+1 with 5-5 , and everyone folds to tim Tim in the sb raise to 3500 , BB fold . i read him as weak one of these AJ , AQ at worst AK , or 77-88 . after thinking for a minute i limp re-raise , i limp re-raise to look huge .i think at worst he will call with AK , but should fold the rest of my range that i put him on . he thinks for 2 minutes , and calls with AQ AQ!!!! , my read was good but i was sure he would fold AQ A on the turn and GG""
