Insurance (or any -EV play) is not of itself necessarily irrational or 'stupid'. However, for Phil at least, I highly doubt it is for anything other than extra TV time. Or maybe he simply likes the sense of winning. You either win the pot, or 'win' the insurance payout...sounds good right?

You're forgetting how clueless Hellmuth is. Guy has been playing hold em for 20 years and still doesn't know basic hand percentages.

I'm not just talking about poker insurance, I'm talking about any insurance.
