Somewhat Oldie But Goodie

This clip of Phil Hellmuth and Tom "Durrr" Dwan isn't exactly new, but man... I cannot lie: I love watching Hellmuth blow up.

Phil is right to a certain extent. Dwan shouldn't have put that much money into the pot that early on in the match. Folding pre-flop would have been hard to do but not neccesarily impossible. A smooth call would have been my preferred play there, and then let Hellmuth dictate the play post-flop. Who knows, he might lead out with a post oak bluff, making it cheap enough to see a turn. Or, maybe he even checks the flop feigning weakness, in which case you'd gladly take a free card. I don't know, it's all hearsay, really. I'm not even going to pretend to be the king of "the right play" (which is why I'm probably as up and down as I am).

Dwan trading verbal spars with Hellmuth is funny, too. "That's why you lose money online." Maaaaan... how do you have the balls to say that to a poker legend? I love it!

I wonder if they ever played those heads-up matches...
