Hellmuth made it look so easy

Respect the greatest

I wrote some weeks ago that Doug had no chance on the match, live Heads Up is where true poker and reads become essential and its sad that Doug has nothing of it

Great gto player, nice and charming guy for sure but no white magic

World belongs to exploitative players

Both players played well and much respect for both from me.

Helmuth did happen to have the cards in the big pots, and the times Polk had a strong hand it was second best.

Helmuth made one very good read and call in an important pot, no one can refute that much.

Its hard to not be leveled when Helmuth says "you will bluff me, I will call you" and "you will pay off my big hands". Especially when Helmuth gets the cards.

Hellmuth is the GOAT. Thinking that some GTO playing donkey would beat him is LOL.

The best part of this match was Doug saying what most of us are thinking, directly to Phil, over and over. So awesome and LOL! Still got pwned tho!! Like Doug said at the end, sometimes you lose to the greatest! I'd like to see them play a best of 5 or 10.

Doug tried to bluff with J6 on t85 flop and Phil raised with nothing making Doug fold

While eating pasta!

Just cant be more badass than that

phil made many smallish mistakes. think doug should have small balled the game to get as many hands in as possible and not play high variance low edge bluffs and bluffcatchers that happened to be -ev aswell). for example overbet 9high on flush river with no blockers, DB-betfold open ender in position (78 hand)

If they played a hundred times in this format Phil wins 52+ and more if eating something a little lighter than pasta. Live reads are real.

I'd say that Phil may very well be 55+% when eating a non-chowder soup, slumping to something like 42-45% when eating a monte cristo sandwich.

Spoiler:
Seriously though I think if this is played about a hundred times Phil wins around 45% or less

Spoiler:
Now, I know what you're saying, all he has to do is lay off the monte cristos, but you guys just don't know Phil that well.

I bet in a live HU match where a player was getting a Libratus feed for their hands, Phil would still pwn them np with tells. For sure.

Next time I play Phil I'll let anyone who wants his side send me money and you can double it if he wins. It's the least I could do to help everyone out.

Also I think the title is supposed to be "Phil Hellmuth beats Doug Polk like a child in HU match." Although I don't understand why we are beating children to begin with.

I dunno, Doug. You played a single HU SNG and you lost. Phil just has to be the better player, right?

It is because they are not eating their pasta.

One HU match, like it means a damn thing. I would have loved to see a " Best of Series " and I do not think " Phill beats like a child......" anyone :P

LOL at that title.

"PH gets DP" should be the title.

It has been proven through empirical evidence that Phill Hellmuth is a better poker player than Doug Polk.

Hail Caesar.

Nuff said.

There's a really good double penetration and PH value joke in here somewhere.

It's popular in the NFL so ESPN thought it would help out the poker fan base.

Is Doug would have won the title would have been "PH gets DP'd". Porn sites would have been flooded with searches.
