[Royal Flush]

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!

He's just not ready yet. He hasnt even beaten me HU yet!
