There's gotta be an angle, tbh I keep watching these cash games where Phil is horrendously bad, but they're all at relatively low stakes for Phil- considering his net worth These are like .50/1$ games for Phil. He still plays terribly But I'm honestly starting to come around to the idea that he is playing poorly *on purpose*, knowing that his bad play will be televised and then people will try to exploit his nittiness in future and more meaningful spots Or he's just bad But I'm really starting to come around to this new theory Because it's *too* bad, imo
So he can boast how he folded a over pair on the flop for ONE bet lol. He will get it right eventually and that is exactly what everyone is going to hear. The guy is so bad it's ridiculous
Ok, he was a good tournament player when the skill level was very low, and only a hand full of players were actually good. He's not even top 1000 now, he's actually really bad.
@@jamestoop4767 didn’t he just win his 16th bracelet last year? Love him or hate him. To say he doesn’t posses high skill in tournaments still is ignorant. And I don’t even like the guy.
"I got to greedy" he says after raising 126x, when known for being a super nit and almost always overbetting with the nuts. I really wonder at times how he has won so much.
this is actually the funniest shit ive ever watched, there is no fuckin way this guy actually like won money in tournaments and stuff. I would run this mans pockets
Any beginner would have played a few of those hands better than Phil did here. I guess that's why everyone laughs at his cash game abilities, he doesn't have any.
He never uses his own money in tournaments he gets sponsors or sells shares... in cash games, nobody is stupid enough to stake him. Thus, that's why he plays scared.
I am starting to wonder if Phill is actually a billionaire somehow and has no clue how to play but plays for fun and love to winge about how bad he plays 🤣🤣🤣
Hellmuth is such a character and I like watching him play but it seems that his elite poker playing days have passed him by or he hasn't improved or changed how he plays. He is patient and tries to wait to strike and that's what its all about. His strategy works great for him in tournaments but not so great against other good players in cash games. Still though hes a great player whose time of dominance of the game has passed him by.
Not that anyone cares but his “instincts” are based on 3+ decades and probably a hundred thousand or more hands worth of experience In other words, what he feels is precisely the opposite of instincts, which are visceral, completely intuitive inclinations removed from experience
You kids don't understand. Phil lost lots of money the past 20 years. Money he have now is from sponsorships. Which is not much. He needs to play tight and survive. If he continues to play like a donkey and dumps, he will be absolute broke and no one will sponsor him at all.
Phil Helmuth- The most overrated card player in the history of card games, barely beating out Daniel Negreanu for the title. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of poker and the financial wherewithal to enter thousands of tournaments is going to win a decent amount of them to claim a bracelet or trophy. It's simply a numbers game.
Those queens are insta call and he just wants tv time and that's been obvious,funny is a write this the guy says how much tv you been on lmao,nailed it,just playing for tv time,he got his ass handed to him during the mr beast and other you tubers ,when you the best so called and can't beat the worst and fold the best hand everytime,stick with tournaments phil
Phil hellmuth is drawing dead and has never Been good . He just peddled the nuts vs amateur business men and non pro poker players at the wsop for 30 years .
He's maybe not the best, but one of the most obnoxious. Still, he's always fun to watch and definitely a character in poker. He would still beat 99,99% of the viewers here in the long term.
Does Phil Have Special Reading Ability?🤔
1. YES
2. NO

Pff my dog has better reading ability
White magic my ass
Not even a real question. It’s redundant.
For someone who is a poker legend and has made a lot of money playing poker, I've never seen someone play so scared in all my life
tournament player

@@notbot4525 he knows he is done but has tremoundous brands that sponsor him. He has to maintain that look to eat sponsorship money.
@@notbot4525 how about building an image on tv? thinking that with loser image he can win tournaments more easily.
@@horenzodipartendo8225 ok, only plays cash 99% time lmao
Phil makes all these stupid folds, because one time in twenty he gets it right and he can say "I can dodge bullets baby!!"
So he can boast how he folded a over pair on the flop for ONE bet lol. He will get it right eventually and that is exactly what everyone is going to hear. The guy is so bad it's ridiculous
He literally just tweeted that today🤡
I totally heard that in Scotty Nguyen's voice lol .. >.
I really don't understand why Phil is still a professional player, he is just ridiculous.

@@CubiesFan98 yep he makes tons of money from tournaments still. his cagey play style works like a charm in tournament play
He is a show man, and he has also achieved what many haven't. His biggest weakness is his ego

@@CubiesFan98 He can play, but what makes me hate him is that he blames his missteps on the other players or "misfortune."
WHEN PHIL THINKS HE'S LOSING, HE
ALWAYS BRINGS UP
THE PAST...
"I think I have you totally dominated."
*Folds*
"I got to greedy" he says after raising 126x, when known for being a super nit and almost always overbetting with the nuts. I really wonder at times how he has won so much.
To this day we're still waiting for Phil's imaginary opponent that will bluff off $50k to him in the next few hands.
10:10 Chamath said it best.
and Chamath said to Helmuth " ...you're an idiot" 🤣
this is actually the funniest shit ive ever watched, there is no fuckin way this guy actually like won money in tournaments and stuff. I would run this mans pockets
Phil is playing like he has had a mental breakdown, holy shit he has fallen off.
Pretty sure hellmuth would lose at my local 1/2 xD
I had the exact same thought
😂 gold
Oh wow another video of Phil f’n up. Shocking
10:11 Says it better than I can.
I love the announcer just dumbfounded that he forlded Queens lol
Any beginner would have played a few of those hands better than Phil did here. I guess that's why everyone laughs at his cash game abilities, he doesn't have any.
Apex Predator playing with his food 😅
If Phil was on fire his instincts would tell him to run to the nearest gas station
This dude is the worst cash game player of all time, they should give him a bracelet for that!
Poor Phil. Seems nowadays He's done got lost in the sea. Once Gobbled up all the guppies now became the biggest fish 🐟🐟🐟🐟
the last hand is the result of getting aces cracked a lot of times.
I wonder if he's actually winning lifetime in cash
No
The way he plays cash it's absolutely impossible he's up lifetime
He never uses his own money in tournaments he gets sponsors or sells shares... in cash games, nobody is stupid enough to stake him. Thus, that's why he plays scared.
@@philgee1749 Makes perfect sense, if they are the facts.
Phil is just a legend in his own mind.
Hellmuth is so good they couldn't even come up with a top 10 list of him being dead wrong with white magic
Most of the folds are at least defensible but the QQ is absolutely horrendous
Some horrific plays in there.
I am starting to wonder if Phill is actually a billionaire somehow and has no clue how to play but plays for fun and love to winge about how bad he plays 🤣🤣🤣
He gets sponsored. He doesn’t pay any fee to enter tournaments. He gets views so they want him to play.
Helmuth doesn’t have a 4 bet with any other hand other than AA, that’s his biggest issue in cash games
a bunch of horrible folds, this must be over my head
Hellmuth is such a character and I like watching him play but it seems that his elite poker playing days have passed him by or he hasn't improved or changed how he plays. He is patient and tries to wait to strike and that's what its all about. His strategy works great for him in tournaments but not so great against other good players in cash games.

I can dodge profits baby!
If only Tony G was there . 😂
I can get on board with some of these folds but for sure not folding Queens and Allin jam with Aces
Jesus this is so terrible. Could've included that massive overraise all in with The nuts against Polk also
Not that anyone cares but his “instincts” are based on 3+ decades and probably a hundred thousand or more hands worth of experience
In other words, what he feels is precisely the opposite of instincts, which are visceral, completely intuitive inclinations removed from experience
Like c'mon man. That A 10 and QQs hand was just absolutely stupid.
Lol, he's never been a cash player. Scared to death of losing money in my opinion.
great video thoroughly enjoyed
Phil helmuth is the biggest fish in cash games …
THAT WHITE MAGIC, APEX PREDATOR, HONG KONG SHIT
it's his style, tight folds which work out long term as he avoids busting and what not. cash game yeah he's terrible.
Phil is the type of player to say "i put no more than 2k with Queens" no matter the stakes
How can one person be so phenomenally good in tournaments but so unbelievably bad in cash games?
Because it's two diff games entirely
You kids don't understand. Phil lost lots of money the past 20 years. Money he have now is from sponsorships. Which is not much. He needs to play tight and survive. If he continues to play like a donkey and dumps, he will be absolute broke and no one will sponsor him at all.
Wut?
Phil goes for like soul folds, and that’s not how u play cash even if ur wrong do it in torneys phil
1:30 man this a standart continuation bet how can phil fold it's incredible
Phil can play poker but Daniel can play people
Phil the king has no clothes.
And the queens got all gussied up for the ball but stayed home instead.
Phil plays (at least in this vídeo) so so badly
Every single one of them absolute donk folds. Getting worse with each clip
Phill is stuck in his past when he was actually average bc everyone else was bad lol hhahahaa . Lucky he is rich already
no way he profits poker, this is insane. put someone else on that chair
Folding the queens there is just... I think you can get shot for that in Texas or sth
These were definitely not world class plays.Even when he doesn't check his way to a loss and goes all in he f's it up.
Phil please play only tournaments. That ladies fold was trash. You should have known that the opposing range was way too wide
Say what you will but i think Jason cananaris has finally relaxed.
The folding of the queens has to be the worst play I’ve ever seen! Literally makes no sense at all!
He plays like he is risking money that he needs 🤦♂️

i think it was the comment you don't have Jacks that got him on the first one.
Hell no
I cannot see why that flop is a good flop for queens in a very lag table.
Phil is one of the worst cash players I’ve ever seen
I like this, just wished I could have seen the hands played out.
Wtf is Phil doing flatting in sb from a btn open with AJ?!
Wow been noticing lately phill not good deep stacked, way too much of a nit 😳
My number one thing to watch…. Hellmuth losing-
Wth is he doing? Lol
Anyone know where I can play Phil?
I need some free money.
Ole Phil plays scared in cash games.
This shit hurts to watch
I Love It When Phil Loses &
Blows Up, He's Such A Cry
Baby, lol... 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Cash game genius “Pish Hellmad” 🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅
Maybe, just maybe Phil is no longer the best poker player in the world…
First time I've ever seen this Emma Zajmovic and wow wow what a beautiful girl!
Why is abed from community sat next to Phil?
Once again Hellmouth is the King and others are idiots.
As he says.
Scared money ?
His EGO is huge
Those queens are insta call and he just wants tv time and that's been obvious,funny is a write this the guy says how much tv you been on lmao,nailed it,just playing for tv time,he got his ass handed to him during the mr beast and other you tubers ,when you the best so called and can't beat the worst and fold the best hand everytime,stick with tournaments phil
Pretty brutal... and sad.
Phil hellmuth is drawing dead and has never
Been good .
He just peddled the nuts vs amateur business men and non pro poker players at the wsop for
30 years .
1989 don't mean shit Phil
seems like plays the worst player in the world would do
His resume ? Back when he played poker there were hardly anyone playing and not the caliber of poker players today !!!!
Hard to watch. He’s desperate to tell everyone what he folded as well because he thinks it makes him look great.
8:22 wth was that all about?
Magic 100%
Why on Earth did he not take a flop with the pair of 9's??
He had Daniel behind. Who had opened. 88 shoved, 99 isn’t that bad of a fold in that spot. There were way worse plays in this highlight
I have a hard time getting out of the small limits when i only should play the « best player of all Time » to earn big money 🙄🤷♂️
Phil has the worst reading ability I have ever seen. He claims it is his specialty ?
He will fold pocket kings just because someone raises him !
What's a "INSTICTS?"
amazing
P.E.M.M....
show the 1000 times he was right, instead of some idiot play by Negreanu, who got only 6 bracelets vs 15 or 16? lolz
Helmut is so bad at cash games:)
Did Phil really bring more than 100. to the table ?
Phil is so overrated its not even funny
He's maybe not the best, but one of the most obnoxious. Still, he's always fun to watch and definitely a character in poker. He would still beat 99,99% of the viewers here in the long term.
That’s a claim you wouldn’t want to put your money on !
Def not cash games.....tournamets. Sure....but cash? Id take ur bet.
