I have a proposition. Let's refer to Phil Hellmuth as Phil Hellmuth rather than "Brat."

Who cares either way? Is OP insulting your idol or something?

loool. i like how a lot of players will take back their river bet when they have the best hand at showdown but phil just reaches over and grab's eric's.

He bets the flop smaller than his original raise?

And then calls the river?!?!

The bet was designed to get Erik to raise on a bluff or a lesser hand. And would you look at that, it worked.

The river was a crying call.

Eric's not gonna bluff there. If he though Eric had made a hand, he should have just put out a strong cb. And what can he beat on the river?

- This one, which was weird. Just as I was rubbing my hands expecting Seidel to take a big chunk out of Hellmuth, he waited till he was beat and then bet.

Eric knows Phil plays primarily premium cards. With no King on the board, there was at least a pretty good chance Phil was holding one. If it's the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Eric is effed. So, checking to the river, IMO, wasn't a bad play. My guess is that the bet river was a blocking bet to keep Phil from going all-in.

In the end, it worked out well for Eric, as he could've lost a lot more in the hand. He doesn't have all those bracelets for nothing.

So you're basicly saying Seidel doesn't bet the flop and the turn because he knows Hellmuth will outdraw him on the river with pretty much exactly the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? That's so result oriented and doesn't make sense.
