An Observation About Hellmuth From The $1500 w/Rebuys
In the $1500 NLH with rebuys, I was on Phil's immediate left for three or four hours. I lost two races and made a bad call shortly before the dinner break, so when we came back, I had about $6000 playing 200-400-50. On the first orbit, the action is folded to me one off the the hijack. I look at one ace and push my stack without looking at the second card.
It's folded to the big blind, Mickey Mills, who calls with QQ. I luckbox a straight and double up. An hour later, we've moved up to 300-600-75. I have $14000. Hellmuth is UTG +2 on $22,000. He raises $2000. For some reason, I decide to make a play with 8s7s and push. Some guy a couple of seats to my left (I don't remember if he was one seat to Joe Pelton's right or two seats -- I'm in the four and can't easily see down the line) wakes up with AA and of course calls after a minute-long dwell. Phil thinks for a bit, shows me AQ and dumps his hand. For some reason, the dealer takes an age to get the chips right, and Phil says to me "Well, I was calling you anyway. I remember your move with A4." From this I conclude that Phil believes the two plays are similar. WTF? |

Cmon he just made a harmless comment, it doesn't really mean anything. |

And I guess he's telling the rest of the table that he's not raising light from EP and intends to defend his raises unless he's dodging bullets.

And I'm pushing with any hand with which I'm putting a single chip in the pot; thus, the second card is simply irrelevant. |
