naw...its not goooot tho.

[True North]

Calling preflop raises and reraises out of position with KJ73 is pretty horrible, yes.

[Jay.]

i'm far from an expert but the only thing real bad seems preflop in hand 3. postflop is standard in that one.

hand 1 i want to see a turn card and take it from there.

[midas06]

the worst hand I saw Hellmuth play was when he CALLED an ai with only an OESD on a paired board with 2 of the same suit on it on 4th.

[tilted]

there is no way hellmuth is this bad, he is ovbiously [censored] around or someone else is playing.

[True North]

Maybe he figured other people would think he only plays big pots with the nuts, and thought he could bluff other people off hands with big bets. Much harder to do in Omaha than in hold 'em, if that's what he was thinking.

I think he was just messing around.

[eclinchy]

He must have been messing around. It's just 10k, and he's not a big PLO player...

I thought the checkraise with top two pair was kinda weird too... most people would just bet out there. But yeah, the KJ73 was just horrendous.
