Phil Hellmuth played the hand wrong…

I mean, Phil Hellmuth starts crying again — even though he was asking for this beating by checking the turn. No offence Phil, if you think Sean is bluffing the flop, RAISE him…
Don’t get me wrong, Hellmuth is a great player, but he just played the hand poorly.

Again: IF YOU KNEW IT, PHIL — RAISE!! […]

Amir Vahedi tries to bluff Sam Farha… and his Nuts

This is the worst position to be in really. Under the gun, trying to bluff… SAM FARHA. Seriously, what was Amir Vahedi thinking? Chris Moneymaker lays down the second best hand — Amir gets destroyed by Sammy.

Scotty Nguyen bluffs off Humberto Brenes

Got to love the Prince of Poker when he pretty much thinks the whole hand through before it even starts, makes a blackjack-related hand on his first bet, and sticks it to Humberto after showing him the 8/3 Off Suit after the bluff. Scotty Nguyen, baby.

Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson at Monte Carlo Millions

This is an amazing hand played by Phil Ivey and Paul Jackson at the Monte Carlo Millions tourney. Ivey has Jackson easily covered, which makes Jackson’s continuous aggression even more astonishing. Excellent poker by both players — excellent read by Ivey.

Think you’ve seen a cold deck?

This Youtube movie has been around. Why? Because it’s absolutely amazing. The coldest deck I’ve ever ever ever seen. Five pocket pairs, including QQ KK AA — that’s pretty sick, no?

Well, excellent laydown with the Kings — too bad it turns out to be a ace-cracking hand… :D
