Re: phill hellmuth and checking in the dark
im prolly checking 99 there as well. @ least i do when i play online.
sammy's image has to be really out of line for me to bet. I think i check b/c i usually play 200bb+ deep, sometime 300 or 400bb deep. IDK if it is right or wrong, but I cant fault phil for cheking if they are super deep, b/c a RR is a very tough call IMO . |

By checking in the dark you are sacrificing an opportunity to deploy the most deadly weapon in a poker player's arsenal, The Donk Bet! By checking in the dark you are sending a message to an opponent that says 'I am willfully foregoing my option of donking into you. Yes, that's right. I am so confident in my postflop abilities because I'm so much better than you, that I can do without this potent and deadly weapon!' It is the epitome of psychological warfare. It is like tying one hand behind your back and challenging someone to a boxing match. If you know you're still going to win, than why the hell not? [/ QUOTE ] THAT's whats missing from my Arsenal - The Donk Bet!!!! |

Daniel did it a lot on HSP as well. Almost always after he raises pre-flop, and is then re-raised and calls. He'll dark check almost every time.

Re: phill hellmuth and checking in the dark
I do love dark betting when someone checks dark just because it seems to irritate them so much like " Oh no my tricky move was countered by another tricky move, whatever will I do"
So if you ever have AA against me just dark check and you'll get paid. |

Maybe this is only the hands shown on TV (or the hands I've seen), but it seems like he almost always has a small pair when he checks in the dark.
