Re: phill hellmuth and checking in the dark
hmmm ic thanks but wouldnt it be a better idea to see the flop and then check just incase he would want to bet out or is by not knowing what will come out and checking deny for information?

I think the pros of taking a free card OOP are bigger than the cons. You're getting 4 cards for the price of 3 OOP. [/ QUOTE ] But when Phil checks dark he will do it with an overpair like the 99. I just about LMAO when I saw that. So he's not putting Farha on any cards over a 9 and he couldn't be putting him on too many cards lower than a 9 either or else he makes those 2P, etc. Just a priceless Phil Hellmuth donk. And then he leaves himself no choice but to re-shove the turn and pray that Farha didn't really have anything. Sure, against Farha it probably is a good strategy but my god, you play cash poker like that and you won't last long.

Re: phill hellmuth and checking in the dark
I've always thought checking in the dark is a fancy play done for no good reason. People I play with at the bar do it all the time. All it really does is take away one of your options. If someone calls you out of position and checks to you on the flop, you don't know if they hit it or not either, and could give the pfr a free card if he needed it.

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 .
