McG Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll Some cracking lines in that :rollin I particularly like the way it was Hellmuth who suggested that they run it 3 or 4 times - he clearly felt that he was providing some sort of insurance, just in case the guy was lucky once.

Hooloovoo Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll I don't like Phil Hellmuth, but this is really wrong. Phil offered the guy to draw 4 times, knowing he had an enormous advantage - that in itself is very generous, and Phil is giving away money there. Then everyone is cheering and laughing when the unlikely is happening, what a mob. Total disgrace, Phil didn't deserve that As a side note, the rookie behaved like he actually had a lock hand with pocket kings on a 9T9 flop when some other guy is 3-shoving. Come on. :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll I agree Hooloovoo. Everytime I see Negreanu play I hate him more and more. Seems to have way too much estrogen running through his veins. Phil Laak is just an absolute clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haichan Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll Just seen this. How can anybody call it a slowroll. Not a great fan of Helmuth, but to suggest as laak and tony G did that he was slow rolling is nonsense. With that hand I would have thought i could be loosing to 10's full. As soon as the other guy moved all in Helmuth snap called. Don't understand why he give the option to draw 4 times. Not a smart move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll Phil offered the guy to draw 4 times, knowing he had an enormous advantage - that in itself is very generous, and Phil is giving away money there. Don't understand why he give the option to draw 4 times. Not a smart move How is he giving away money? Running it more than once gives you exactly the same average win/loss as running it once, but reduces your variance. By the way, I agree that it didn't look like much of a slow roll.

Running it more than once gives you exactly the same average win/loss as running it once' date= but reduces your variance. Your'e right slap, i had my head up my arse when i wrote it :lol What i meant was that Phil should not be interested in giving the rookie low variance. - Phil's aim is to bust him (and every other player at the table) - Phil does not care about high or low variance, since they are, for him, playing for peanuts. - The higher variance, the more likely the rookie will bust quickly So, Phil wants high variance, and should not offer him to draw more than once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMatrix Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll Phil is a nit. Plus I think he did it for more tv time and more chance for a bad beat so he could moan about it than to be nice to the qualifier lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieGaz Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Re: Hellmuth Punished for Slow Roll Fantastic!! Didn't look like a slow roll tbh... looked as though he was genuinely worried the guy might have 10's full. Still great TV when that comes off though!
