He's baaaaaack  
It's been a while since I've posted, but I hope you'll find it was worth the wait.  I played a long session on UB tonight with Phil Hellmuth and another player, turnthecaroff.  Frankly, I'm not sure that Phil could win if the cards fell his way.  They didn't.

PHILHELLMUTH: but now I'm going to punich weakness



PHILHELLMUTH: and your over plays will get me even


PHILHELLMUTH: OVER PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!


PHILHELLMUTH: OP!!


PHILHELLMUTH: what a joke

flop comes KK8, phil and i cap, other guy folds

turn is a 2--i bet, phil raises, i rr, phil . . . folds


HOSS_TBF: OVERPLAYS!

PHILHELLMUTH: U or me?

PHILHELLMUTH: I had 7-7

HOSS_TBF: guess that answers that question

HOSS_TBF: phil you'd have 8 million less if deck broke even


TURNTHECAROFF: true story


PHILHELLMUTH: u morons cannot even play LH right, how U gonna beat

 

we then play a hand where the flop is jt6, we cap the flop, phil bets and i raise turn

river is a 6, phil checks, i check my J5 behind

he shows 96o for trips

 

HOSS_TBF: phil you see what i check behind last hand when you make 666

PHILHELLMUTH: U such a moron I make those checks everyday

stevecohen[info]stevecohen on March 11th, 2009 03:24 pm (UTC)
That was classic, but:

HOSS_TBF: *exactly* like a slot machine

Was clearly the line of the night.

Funny - I had the same session Phil had yesterday (but without playing like a moron, and at smaller stakes, of course) and all I said was "nh sir, well played" over and over and over and over and over again.

Debbie N.[info]wild_irises on March 19th, 2009 10:20 pm (UTC)
No, the Mavis Beacon line is the best of the nonbolded lines. But it's a close call.

Tom Bayes[info]tom_bayes on March 11th, 2009 04:01 pm (UTC)
Does Phil post videos of himself going on tilt like Matusow was doing for a while?

Seriously, Phil sounds like the whiny old rocks that I play low-stakes draw and deuce-to-seven lowball with who get mad if you raise, draw a card, and beat them.

[info]smalltalkdan on March 11th, 2009 07:28 pm (UTC)
Am I the only one who is a little surprised that UB hasn't stepped in and shut Phil up here? I can tell you for certain I would have done so at PokerStars (and in fact did several times). I thought the "security" comment was probably even more damaging than anything else he might have said, though.

awesome
Matt,

Thank you so much for sharing, this is hilarious. One question, when Phil keeps saying "OP". Is it a "jopke" reference, or he's calling you two overpowered or something? I used to be a big Hellmuth fan, but his continued arrogance and the honest retelling of stories like yours make me realize what a mistake that was. He's a jopke.
(Anonymous) on March 13th, 2009 07:42 pm (UTC)
Re: awesome
OP = Over played
Hoss_TBF[info]hoss_tbf on March 14th, 2009 08:50 pm (UTC)
Re: awesome
I think most of us have been Phil fans at some point in our poker experiences--and there's nothing wrong with being his fan! I think the real issue is that to some degree we like to deify our heroes and I think in Phil's case, he bought into his own hype. So by all means be his fan, just don't let it obfuscate your view of the total package :-)
(Anonymous) on March 18th, 2009 09:19 pm (UTC)
Haha. I liked that one too. This is just hillarious.

In all seriousness though Phil needs to calm down or he's going to have a breakdown.
Patti[info]whipartist on March 12th, 2009 01:35 am (UTC)
I have to wonder if he wakes up the next morning feeling profoundly embarrassed about his behavior... the poker equivalent of, "I drank what?" I'm guessing not.

stevecohen[info]stevecohen on March 12th, 2009 01:24 pm (UTC)
Re: adioqier
who is this hoss idiot?

He's probably one of the top-10 short-handed limit hold-em players on the planet.

and why does he think he's funny?

Because he *so* is.

Perhaps he can give you both poker and humor lessons Mr. Hellmuth.


yarffaJ nalA[info]jnala on March 12th, 2009 07:36 pm (UTC)
From his blog the next morning:

"Why should I have any negativity in my life at all? I am already super super positive, but why not kick it up another notch? The "New Phil" will try his hardest to never berate another player again. It hurts them, and it hurts me when I get that emotional."

I think "profound lack of self-awareness" describes it better.
(Anonymous) on March 12th, 2009 04:04 pm (UTC)
Phil Hellmouth is doing a great PR job for Ultimatebet....!!!!
Michael E. Sullivan[info]michaelsullivan on March 12th, 2009 09:15 pm (UTC)
I don't get how he can be this bad and win anything. Can you really be good enough to win 11 bracelets without seeming to have the first clue how to adjust to short-handed play? I'm aware that you don't have to be *that* good to win 10 bracelets if you play every event, but even that low standard seems high.

Is he this bad all the time, or just steaming like crazy? If he really plays three hand limit like this, I feel like I could play him and win -- with you as the third. And I'm not very good.

The most amazing thing to me is how you tell him exactly what is wrong with his game ("cause it'll go check check check check check"), and he is too focused on his own epeen to pay any attention whatsoever.
(Anonymous) on March 13th, 2009 08:42 am (UTC)
Thats a bit unfair on Phil H. CCash game limit is totally different from NL hold them tourney plays. The mechanics for making dessisions patterns is also totally different. Helmuth is deffo one of the greqatest players the world have seen, but ONLY in tourney NL games. In every cash game, expesially in limit and/or mixed games, hes average, and would have problems beating a 5-10 game. Hes major problem is lack of selfawarness enough to understand this fact. The fact hes the only +5 braclett winner that won all bracelets in same game should maby be a wake up call...but oh noo...not for mr. poker king.
Michael E. Sullivan[info]michaelsullivan on March 16th, 2009 11:43 am (UTC)
But this is my point. His record is such that even if he's been ridiculously lucky, he's got to be at least close to the level of top players in NLHE if not one of them. I just don't understand how you can get that good at one game with poker fundamentals as weak as are being displayed here.

griff98199[info]griff98199 on March 13th, 2009 04:13 am (UTC)
I love how his solution to losing in a 3 handed limit hold 'em game is to "tighten up" and only play AJ or better. That'll win the dough Phil. My top 3 lines from the night:

1. "Maybe if you started with 200k"
2. "Exactly like a slot machine"
3. The anti-bracelet thing.

Also, my fav non-hoss line was

"TURNTHECAROFF: keep slow playin those ace rags phil"

GREAT STUFF!
(Anonymous) on March 14th, 2009 04:17 pm (UTC)
Full tilt
Wasn't Phil part of the full tilt's cheating scandal with the "super accounts"? Hes probally never had the security checked cause he and his friends were the ones cheating. Can't believe he has nerve to call other players cheats because hes losing, maybe this year he will think that everyone at the world series is cheating, after he gets knocked out!
(Anonymous) on March 20th, 2009 06:09 pm (UTC)
Re: Full tilt
It wasn't Full Tilt, it was Ultimate Bet (the site they're playing on now). Which raises two questions: 1, Why would he even mention the word "security" on a site that's guilty of knowingly stealing millions upon millions of dollars from their players (let alone re-sign this year to continue representing them); and 2, Why would someone like hoss_tbf continue to play there?

-dontknower
(Anonymous) on March 21st, 2009 06:50 pm (UTC)
Re: Full tilt
Hoss is where the fish is.
Phil has done a lot at poker but he is not top level player, not even in NL Holdem let aside the other games.
It's probably rare to catch as weak player as him at the high limit LHE.
(Anonymous) on May 2nd, 2009 11:07 pm (UTC)
Phil and Ultimate bet
God, what a baby this guy is. he needs to bring some tissue with him to the table. lets see, he is calling security cause he is losing...but when he won a hand but supposedly an error on UB,...you didnt see him crying for security then. Phil must want security to check why he did not win or why the computer program did not allow him to win that night. Phil and UB are just a bunch of thieves and cry baby girls.
Tell Phil to meet me in a ring and ill show him what crying is all about! I have grown tired of this baby and his antics. It is time for him to go away, and have his chat banned for his constant harrassment of other players. but wait, UB wnt do that to a crying star.
Phil...Just go away.
