Phil Hellmuth is, in my opinion, based on results, one of the best large field holdem tournament players. He is nowhere near the best cash game player or large buy-in small field tournaments. These are completely different games based on the same card game. The “score keeping” is different, as is determining the winner. I can sympathize with Hellmuth. I’m pretty good at 20-200 player tournaments that these guys would consider small stakes. I lose my shirt in cash games.
@@matthewmille Cash games are really easier than tournaments because stack sizes (in terms of BBs) are more stable so there's less having to adjust your strategy because of continually increasing blinds. IME, tournament players only falter in cash games by getting impatient. With deep stacks there's less incentive to get all in except when you have the nuts (or with occasional bluffs), which is unlike tournaments where you often have to get all in with less than premium hands or risk being blinded to nothing. I'll also add that low stakes cash game players are mostly god awful and make big, consistent, predictable mistakes that are so easy to take advantage of. Because of that there's far less variance in cash games; pretty easy to make a really good living compared to tournaments where variance is brutal because you can spend months not even cashing.
There have been videos of Negreanu reading people for ages, but what is really impressive is to see him still doing it with the higher caliber of players of today, not just the casuals from tournaments so many years ago.
@@CloudHugger79 Yep, that makes sense. Because I am unimpressed by dneg's reads, I must be a casual. That means that everyone who thinks dneg sucks must be a casual. Is that right?
@@SWN4746 Exactly this honestly considering Dnegs and Helmuth are such good friends weaponizing his ego at least being the best tournament player saying he's not better than Ivey at anything is pretty scum baggy. People simp for DNegs way too hard even though he is insanely charismatic.
Negreanu definitely has the uncanny ability to see through people. He's an extremely acute observer and his brain operates much faster than most. He likely has ADD or ADHD, which makes him a bit of a savant in certain ways.
That's how fake GOAT's are though. They say it hoping that it will get them in the discussion while they desperately hope for the approval from their peers. Meanwhile, the real GOAT doesn't have to say a thing, because everybody knows the truth.
“Speech play” is the absolute worst term ever invented in poker. It’s called “talking.” Just because one weirdo during one WSOP Main decided to call talking “speech play” doesn’t mean we have to follow his lead. It’s such an uncreative, mindless term.
6:39 - can someone explain how ho can so confidently rule out Queens and Kings? The other guy says it’s ‘because he had Jacks’ but I still don’t get it.
These guys play together a lot and Id say Daniel has picked up something on Berky that allows him to notice something. At the level these guys play at its not as easy as looking at bet sizing but things that are so much more subtle than that.
I believe its because he cant beat KK and QQ. He's fishing for a reaction, and based on that he calls. He doesn't put him on KK and QQ because he would lose to those with JJ.
With AK, yes it's good but you're still 50/50 against a pocket pair so an overbet is nice to induce a fold. AA, KK, QQ you just call the big pre-flop and maximize profits. Any lower pairs loses to JJ as well. Other guy is implying that Daniel was just wishing for AK because again it's 5050 but that was more of a joke.
Negreanu 4 bets into two players, which suggests a premium hand (AA, AK, KK, QQ, JJ). Going all in suggests that he doesn't think Negreanu has AA, and also has a hand that is not dominated by these premium hands but also doesn't dominate anything Negreanu could be holding. For Berky the only hand where this is true is AK: it's a draw if Daniel has AK, and a relative flip if Daniel has KK, QQ, JJ (plus fold equity). If Berky had KK or QQ, he might just call the 4 bet as he would be flipping with AK and dominating QQ or JJ (and he himself blocks KK).
@@richardvanderleeden930 A lot of it is this, yes. It's difficult to give absolutely nothing away when a person calls out your exact hand, even at this level. Combine that with how smart of a player he is, and how much he's played with these people, and it makes a lot of his reads pretty good. It's worth noting though, that he's also made a fair few bad calls in the past just for information. He suspected that he was beat, but he wanted to know for sure right then and there. All the bad small calls help him make the big soul reads and bluffs.
Hellmuth is the best tournament player of all time and he has the right to claim it. You people hating on a 17 time bracelet winner sound ridiculous , bitter and miserable.
@@SWN4746 Hellmuth is terrible at poker. 90% of his bracelets are from pre 2000 when everyone was drooling on the table and had no idea about even the basics and when fields were like 150-300 players. His true skill is taking advantage of amateurs. Daniel is 100% right, you put Hellmuth at a real table w/ players and the rest of the players will salivate because he's the freest money you will ever get. Also factor in he's played in probably close to 4000 WSOP events, having 17 bracelets for that volume is downright pathetic. I guarantee if you got a random average regular at your local 1/2 game and had him play the same exact amount of WSOPs, with the same low quality players and small fields and they would easily have more than 17. The only people who think Hellmuth is good are people who don't actually understand poker at a high level. His only true skill is being a nit and folding correctly when beat repeatedly.
To a player who studied the game and his strategy is all about frequency play and knows how often he should call,,all Daniel is doing is helping in making his action more +EV
Was that Nick Wright from FTF??? I like that show a lot and they occasionally talk about Nick playing poker, but I didn't think he was ever at that stacked of a table. Good for him.
People keep saying that Hellmuth is the greatest player of all-time, can someone point me to a source? He doesn't show up on any top 10 list I'm looking for on google, but nearly every list has both Dnegs and Ivey on there.
Hellmuth has by far the most WSOP bracelets and has won the main event against Johnny Chan heads up. The thing is, his style was modern when he was young, modern poker theory exposes big holes in his game today and he hasn't caught up yet. Ivey could read you like a book and exploit it big time. When you listen to him talk about live games, cards don't matter where as Hellmuth always complains how he got coolered, hence the famous blow-up videos.
Not a big poker player but I like to watch these games. Can someone explain why Negreanu knew that Berkey didn't have Queens or Kings? Seems to be obvious to the other guy at the table too.
If Berkey had kings or queens, this clip would not be in this video. Negreanu calls his opponents’ cards a lot. People make clips of him calling it correctly to make him look like a soul reader, but they don’t make clips of him calling the wrong cards. There’s no chance he was actually 100% certain it was A-K.
@@crn001 But the other curly haired guy at the table also said he knew that he didn't have kings or queens. Something to do with Daniel having a blocker or something like that. And then the opponent acknowledged this and said he understood why Daniel knew he could have them.
@@Antonocon They're just making jokes. They aren't serious comments. They're saying that because Daniel has J-J, he wants Berkey to have A-K so bad that it makes it true. Obviously, that's not how poker actually works. It's just a funny way of thinking about it.
It's hard to say for sure. But the small squeeze 2.5x and 5b shove might have been bet sizing tells. Berkley may flat the 4b to trap with KK or qq. The small squeeze is definitely indicative of a wider and merged value range
Kinda funny to see Nick Wright, whose day job requires all kinds of GOAT or "who's better" or ranking debates, just casually taking in the Phil Ivey vs Hellmuth debate lol

the way i see it phil hellmuth is better at tournaments. It involves alot of bad players taking each other out. 95% were basically amateurs/novices. phil ivey better in every other format and in general for poker.

Negranu was chatty when he had the flush. Solemn when bluffing with NOTHING in the last clip. I'm sure he randomizes when and how he chats, but for most players it can be a tell.
Phil is better than Ivy, though. Ivy is a gambler. Negs behaves like Ivy destroys everybody. Be real how much screen does Ivy demand vs. Phil, who is in one of every 10 poker videos that I see on UA-cam.
What does screen time have to do with skill? Gambler or not, his poker is better. This isn't to say Helmuth is trash, but he def is a one trick pony. As for me? I'd like to take after Ivey, notwithstanding the lack of bankroll discipline
Daniel shot talking Hellmuth while casually hitting a straight was excellent 😂
