When your opponent says “you caught me making a move,” that’s good to hear with 100% of your range. The idea that what foxen said indicates anything about his range is pure results-oriented thinking. In a 3-handed spot, 99 is much much closer to aces than it is to A5s.
The idea that Helmuth doesn't make live reads and eliminated the top of Foxen's range is pretty mind boggling.
This also isn't good to hear with 100 percent of your range. If he's got a premium pair for example he wants helmuth to have a real hand so he calls. While 99 is a strong hand, he obviously wants Phil to fold hands with 2 overs and he's genuinely surprised Helmuth has real garbage.
Helmuth isn't exactly know for perfect fundamental play... it's almost like there's something else you could attribute a lot of his tournament success to....
