What an absolute idiot and joke of a human.
itâs day 1 of the main event. itâs not going to be interesting. i watch so much poker and couldnât bring myself to watch a bunch of old people randoms badly nit it up.
Last night was pretty good except for the 44 vs 66 hand. Lots of bluffs. Tonight is turd city.
idk Rainier cherries are pretty damn good.
Was it part of one of his stupid entrances when Hellmuth crashed the race car? If so that was his only good entrance.
I hope this means he does something unintentionally racist that he gets criticized for.

Sounds like he was filming an ad for UB right before the main event.
Its not so much being scared of them having a much better hand. You are correct that such is unlikely. But, if you raise the river you are only being called by worse if:
Villain thinks you are raising the river as a bluff (this is a very rare occurrence!)
Villain is very bad at poker
Approximate hand from early D1 of my first Main Event (a long time ago)
MP limp, BTN limp, BB check
Flop K44
checked around
Turn 8
checked around
River J
check, MP bets 1bb, BTN raises to 3bb, BB folds, MP calls quickly
MP has KK, BTN has 44
Rigged
Really sad
I thought the fake fighting towards the end was somewhat amusing.
I wasnât expecting them to be filming a scene from the new movie, Bring it On âHoley Moleyâ
Hellmuth entrance worst one yet and that is saying something. What a moron.
I kind of liked the fake fighting part too. Rest of it was super cringe. Now I hope Hellmuth busts super fast.
Better for my bet if he makes a deep run and bubbles. lol
I still think I made the right play there
