Best of luck for the rest of the event.

How is Woody Deck doing?

He seems to get no coverage over there, they must think he's a Brit

great post rob -
wtf is hellmuths prob & how come no one gets stroppy about him not getting penalised for swearing - jesus, i'm on tilt

It may be just lucky for Mr Hellmuth that I dont have 25 grand to blow on an entry in vegas, because if he called me a m***f*** at a poker table, he would be eating thru a straw for the next three months.

Just you and Nick both using it. I know what was meant its just slowrolling is the scumiest thing to do and both those guys are way above it,

I'm assuming it doesn't count if you do it to me.... 

whose been "slowrolling" I slowplayed my AA and KK - NOT SLOWROLLED!

Yeah!  

[robyong]

there is no way Helmuth calls someone a "stupid mother xxxxxx" for effect, his trashtalk he does to pick up tells and intimidate people. For example, I played 4 pots on the trot with him and each time he asked me for a chip count! The guy just wantS to win so much, knows he is one of the top players in the world, and the "luck element" in poker really frustrates him.

The reason he gets a lot of outdraws is simple: He wants to have his cake and eat it when he gets a big hand so he slowplays every single time, which means he gets sucked out on more than ABC players, therefore he "thinks" he gets more bad luck, when in effect, its his "trapping style" that makes it look like he gets "more unlucky" that other people. For example, this is how he played AA.

He min raises on SB with AA, the BB RR with 99, Helmuth flatcalls. Flop K23, Helmuth checks, opponent checks, turn a K, helmuth bets pot, opponent flat calls, river 9, Helmuth bets pot, opponent RR, Helmuth calls immediatley - £200k pot!
He played JJ the same, and another guy spiked a 5 on the river to make his set, so he lost to two 2 outers on the river within the space of 30mins. However, this would not have happened if he had played ABC poker. I did try to explain this basic maths theory to him but he was absolutely adamant that he is just the "unluckiest poker player on the planet" - WHAT A MUG!

Best of luck mr rob yong.

Lazaroonie, as funny as it would be seeing u hospitalise mr hellmuth in the not to distant future, i somehow doubt that your that much of a idiot to react in such a manner. Sticks and stones and all that

[vinni]

rob do what i did to vinni ninn

1st ask him who he is ,then tell him who you are .

2nd when he losers a pot tell him you want to give him some advice

tell him to go and have a walk so he does,nt go on tilt.

Justy had a chat with Rob, he's in good heart.

I told him that if Chubbs, Smithers or Simon wanna text me any news of Rob as the play progresses, it will be up on this thread in a flash.

I also told him to ignore the "stick" he got in Dublin, after he lost the chip lead. Rob can only play "maverick poker" & I honestly hope he sticks to that.

[Teacake]

I asked Helmuth how much to come and "cut the ribbon" on Dusk Till Dawn's opening night,but after he told me he charges $50k, I told him we'd get Rob Varkoni instead as he was a bigger name in the UK.
