Wasn't Phil raising UTG with horrible hands, like J2? Obviously with how ESPN has to select hands to show, we don't know how often this occurred, but I would think raising UTG is always a risky bet.

UTG raises are more respected, especially from a nit like Hellmuth. So, tight players can occasionally make a play from UTG based on that piece of information that his opponents know.

Yeah, I know, and I'm probably a bit in the wrong with what I'm saying and thinking but I just remember that hand, and him getting reraised by AK and getting visibly frustrated by the whole thing but I just figured, considering his position, that something like that is bound to happen. I don't really know where I'm going with this necessarily, hehe.
