(https://www.casino.us/cardschat/attachments/1000269849-jpg.412589/)well how many hero call's like this do we make daily 🤣🤣🤣 a certain Coach said recently you see those exact cards you think your opponent has and you don't...trust that intuition and fold but do we listen 😂😂😂
I do it every single time I play, where are my bracelets?!
It's a part of being a poker pro . I have made calls like that and I am sure a lot of people have made calls like that, and I'm sure people will be making calls like that in the future .
Yeah true, situation and play of the hand was good one!
were they HU ? sometimes you gotta take a risky hand and hope !
Put him on high ace
He should have gone all in pre flop, I never understood his call there. But Phil is Phil, maybe he thought he had a read on the guy. I just think in that particular situation it was difficult for the guy to put him all in with air.

It seems a poor choice or decision at first glance, but I don't know the opponent of he was the kind who bluffs a lot . Although bluffing (https://www.casino.us/poker/strategy/bluffing/) against loose Hellmuth is not adviced . Probably he makes such hero calls all the time , thats how he got so many bracelets . He hunts bracelets not much good positions and cashing
I think the play was bad whichever way you look at it.
GTO would fold on the turn to a shove every time.
Old school play you just shove pre.
New school solver shoves 70 - 90% of the time, and never justs calls the min raise.
Think Phil out thought himself on this one.
Phll Hellmuth is a jerk!! But he plays really well.
Without a doubt, he’s not among my “favorite players of all time,” but it happens...
From what we can see, it looks like a terrible hero call, but we don't know how the hand played out on each street. Maybe his opponent had a tendency to bet a lot with almost anything, and this time he set a good trap for him with a hand that wasn't really strong enough to risk all his chips.
To hero or not to hero. This phrase is now popular after the wsop (https://www.casino.us/poker/tournaments/wsop/)😎
Phil believes in his white magic, but sometimes it lets him down.
