Are you for real?!
You dont see anything wrong? You don't think that he has an easy decision after squeezing pre? You don't think the 'LOOSE CANNON' has a wider range than pawket tens on T99, really? Absolutely disgusting slowroll and just shows how clueless Hellmuth really is.
You can't slowroll someone if all their chips aren't in the middle (well I guess technically you can, but not if they have a decent amount back as is the case here)
The way I see it, he puts on some Hollywood to perhaps make sure the guy calls off his remaining chips.
I just hate the way he thinks, tilts me haaaaard. he didn't need to waste time or claim he 'thought he could be beat'.
I don't mean slowroll in terms of declaring, just everything else about the hand.
The range of a decent player in LooseCannon's spot reraising in that fashion is actually quite limited, given his behaviour, looking like he believes he's ahead for sure (and he did believe this). Hellmuth believes he does not have AA KK, LooseCannon had flat called preflop 4-way. He just doesn't realise how bad LooseCannon is, once Hellmuth leads out fairly strong his little brain has already ruled out trips as a possibility. Look at the way he jumps up when all the money is in, convinced he's ahead. Hellmuth probably picked up on all this when making his decision, the only thing he did wrong was giving the guy too much credit. It's not a slowroll.
Obv he's not folding, but I don't think there's much wrong with considering the possibilities.
->To Tony G 'Show some class'. That made me lol.
