Stylin_Fish 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 the general public won't even be able to comprehend how unlucky he got at this final table.- hellmuthdoes this qualify as a hellmuth moment?Nah, not even near a good comment. Link to post Share on other sites
blueodum 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Phil Hellmuth has been talking to ESPN in his exit interview, and (not surprisingly) he's had plenty to say. He started out by talking about how freaking lucky Hoyt Corkins has been, because he was pushing all in, all in, all in, and the very few times Hellmuth calls him with premium hands, Corkins has aces or something. He also pointd out that Corkins must have won 70-80% of their blind vs. blind situations. He said the general public won't even be able to comprehend how unlucky he got at this final table. What a freakin' egomaniac.That Phil for you, always gracious in defeat. Link to post Share on other sites

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I just have a very bad feeling that Mike is gonna get unlucky again. This is where he has to fight off the bad beats. Link to post Share on other sites

Chiggleslap 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 It's pretty admirable how little Hoyt cares about going broke at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
blueodum 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hellmuth says Hoyt won 70% of their blind versus blind confrontations. Maybe it has something to do with Hoyt being the more aggressive player.Phil is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Date / Time: 2005-11-09 00:48:00 Log: <b>Reminder:</b> In heads-up play, the button has the small blind and acts first before the flop. <b>Hand 159</b> - Hoyt Corkins has the button, he limps, and Matusow checks. The flop comes Kd-Ks-10c, and both players check. The turn card is the Qh, and Matusow checks out. That's right, he folds, even though Corkins hadn't bet. He laughs afterwards, saying something about his hand. It must have been a <i>really</i> low hand. <b>Hand 160</b> - Mike Matusow has the button, he raises to $43,000, Corkins moves all in, and Matusow folds. My fucking hero.

Sea Wasp 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 People can say what they like about Mike, but he has to be one of the guys noone wants to be at a table with in a tournament. It seems like he just controls the table with so much ease. Even against a great player like Phil, and a very aggresive Hoty he just seems like he is at home. Im always secrectly rooting for this guy because he is fearless and i think to get through tough fields in a NL tourny you need alot of courage. I really hope he takes this down.

blueodum 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I guarantee you that the first time Corkins is all in and Mikey calls, Mikey will have the best of it. After that it will be all up to lady luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Sea Wasp 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yes of course, thats the problem with Hoyt, he is so fearless its scary and its like walking on egg shells trying to play against him. I think this match will come down to a crazy hand where someone sucks out. This is a game of small edges. Link to post Share on other sites
