    'Normally incredible aggression in a six handed game is costly, but it sure looks good when you get away with every raise and reraise.<span> </span>Finally, Player XX opened, and I smooth called with As-Ks, gambling that someone else would reraise him with A-Q, or A-J, or a bluff.<span> </span>The flop was Qs-8h-2s, and Player XX bet out $600, I made it $1,500 hoping that Player XX would rebluff me all in with a semi-draw like J-10 or simply air, or that he had a smaller flush draw, but I knew that there was a great chance that I had the best hand and that I would win the pot right then and there.<span> </span>In any case, Player XX moved me all in, the next two cards were a 6c-4d, and Player XX showed me a set of eights!!<span> </span>Are you kidding me?<span> </span>I mean, all those crazy over the top aggressive moves, and he shows me a set, sigh.<span> </span>Still, I could have caught my flush, couldn't I have?'

    Is Hellmuth part of the UB refund package by any chance?

    I'm beginning to wonder if Helmuth isn't putting stuff out there just to create an image. I'll still say, everyone here seems to believe that poker is a skill game. If so, tip your hat, Helmuth wins, and he beats the bad players.

    Even if he says things like this. Though, I'll admit, this is just about the worst thing he's said, almost illogical, making me think he doesn't actually believe it.

    One thing is for sure:

    If Helmutt happens to be non-terrible at poker, he would be, without a doubt, the best player ever seen. Nobody could ever show so many leaks and don't be horri-bad, unless he was so extremely good that he would repeat the same mistakes over and over and over again just to fool his opponents.
