He knows. Mike wasn't as much as a fish as his play would indicate either. Yeah he was outclassed, but a lot of his ridiculous nitty play was by design because at this point he was being bankrolled into these cash games and often times only had one bullet to fire in the game.
All of the Full Tilt players were using borrowed money. No risk to their bank account and getting paid to advertise on these shows. They were using Ponzi money, essentially.
@@KEEPlT1K Full Tilt were giving their players money that online players/customers were depositing into their player's accounts. In other words, millions of dollars was being used to finance tournament buyins and cash games, when the money should have remained in Full Tilts bank account in case players/customers withdrew their money. In 2008/2009, that's exactly what happened. The US government banned online poker. When players tried to withdraw their money, most of it was gone. Howard Lederer and Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan and Chris Ferguson and Annie Duke were caught in a Ponzi scheme; they essentially funneled millions of dollars out of FT that should never have been touched. That's the money you see in play on these cash games, and on all episodes of poker from 2006-2009.

Hes a tourney player, never was good at cash games. He's probably playing weird like this because of that also. I really dont see him ever checking down with KK like that in a tournament. He doesn't wanna play big pots
The "almost goes broke" part was from action prior to what we see in this video: Mike bought in for $100,000 and went all the way down to $14,000... and that is where this video starts as he goes all in, triples up and then starts his comeback.

If i was feldman i would have folded or CALLED, you gotta figure ziggy has good cards , calling with people behind so if a crap flop comes you can shove, then again it is ziggy so....
That check on Antonius was brilliant, good trap. Not sure what the announcer is on, but if an ace hits on the turn and then I get raised, I’m gonna fold unless I have it beat.
nice video but the commentary is awfull in my opinion. They were constantly making suggestions that were objectively bad, but knowing what the other guy has were good.
It can be hard to look back: David Tuchman and Robert Williamson III were actually one of the better commentating duos "back in the 'olden days" (especially for the stuff recorded in the UK)
100% agree. They just said whatever was objectively right when you could see the whole cards. "Yeah I'd play that perfectly because I can see the hand" basically
@@somepeoplecanthandlethetruth just tell me where and when . He ripped a lot of people of and scammed them three cheating online play . He should be banded for life from all poker tournaments
Mike started with $100K and basically lost almost all of it to where he was down to $14K left... thats where this video starts off from. So he was almost broke, they just didn't show all the hands he was losing to get to this point.
Phil Ivey has got to be the most overrated poker player. He uses his “scary reputation” to get people to fold, as if he always has the best hand. Total scumbag.

You obviously don't watch him play these days if you think people always fold against him. He isnt doing well these days at poker as players are no longer scared of him. And anyway, your complaint is stupid, as if he represents the best hand and people believe him, that is exactly what he is supposed to do as a poker player, and bluff.

I've seen Mike The Mouth win more hands in this video than in all the previous 1000 videos combined.
"Damn Canadians. Sitting there thinking about... Canada"? 😆 🤣 😂 Way to reach deep into that poker brain Tommy lol
LOL ivey folds 73s - "I had a big hand there - I made a big laydown"

I like mike limping with the aces. It kept more people in than if he raised and they backed out. 👍🏼perspective is everything. Come on announcers!
The check bk from the flush draw against Antouis was 200 % the right play
As well as having an ace. He has the whole board almost locked. What do we expect to call a turn bet? A better hand.
phils face when mikey says aces up lmaooo

Always is crazy to me that they can lose so much and be calm. Guess that's why they are pros.
I don't think anyone played better,.... dude gets smacked with the deck AA, KK, Trip Q's, and set of 9's. Nice commentary
How to get min value with kings vs jacks...
All in to $120k. But it can go back just as fast.
You could edit about half of the time down by clipping the dead air out
are they playing with their real money? or is this some kind of buy in for 1000 and get x amount of chips?
