Mad fold, but doesn't Phil Hellmuth tell him his exact hand here?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

shocking fold if he opens utg with q10 as the comms said he did.  yet another results orientated hero.  He is 4/6 or better in 90% of spots there

Bit harsh Arbboy, it isn't like Doug Polk is some mug.   He is way above me.

James Bord comes across pretty badly here.  I was pretty surprised to see him there, thought he had long gone.  No idea who his sidekicks were.

"The best player in the world"  manages to get one of the biggest calling stations on the planet to fold the second nuts.

hilarious that he tabled that in front of hellmuth, complete disrespect for his game.

Was similarly amazed to see Bord back and equally not surprised to see he is still an insufferable prick.

Polk is one of the biggest stations out there, and is number 1 in the world at not following reads and playing 'GTO' -that Hellmuth got him to fold this by mentioning blockers is incredible.

I think it's a fold because Hellmuth has no idea about checking range on boards such as this and cbets all his combo flush draws and likely all sets other than top set because you gotta trap that 100% of the time regardless of board texture obv.

I'm surprised Hellmuth has QTo here but the call is b/e against a range of JJ, 88, QTs, and how is he ever lighter than this other than QTo

polk reviewed the hand on his youtube channel

- he says it probably isnt even an exploitative fold given the situation : ie QT is a big enough part of his range then he is unexploitable only calling the nuts and T7s facing that bet 3 way.

- the table talk of the other players didnt bother him : "who care what donks think about the hand, i'm not going be affected by what bord thinks hellmuth has"

- hellmuths talk was just the extra push he needed to make the fold, he feels its a clear fold v most players, he doesnt care what other players tendencies are in general, but will go with reads in close spots -  this wasnt a close spot but the fact he could be made to look foolish on TV was the biggest doubt in his mind. when hellmuth mentioned blockers it simply sealed the deal
