Watching “Poker after dark”
Been watching “Poker after dark”, the last few episodes of the Bash Helmuth cash game. Interesting to watch Helmuth and Dwan matched against each other. Helmuth seems very reserved and doesn’t get up to any of his usual antics!
Phil Laak feels the pressure a bit, he calls against Bob Safai when maybe he should have let it go, costs him! Dwan’s aggressive play really seems to force the others to play poker out of their confort zone. Laak doesn’t even realize that he has managed to beat Dwan with his bottom pair… defend and hold on against Durrrr is what they say…
And then Phil Helmuth makes a comeback with his Ace, seven – which seems to give him some confidence, can he come out of his shell? Who would think The Poker Brat would be so quiet and well behaved?
All the players respected it, except Tom Dwan… now how does that surprise anyone??? Although he is very sharp and also knows when to get out of a hand. Very interesting to hear what the players have to say in between play.
And then there’s the round table discussion at the end where they all talk about how they played…

Way to go! Great poker videos from High Stakes..
What is Phil Laak doing?
I think its the pressure that maybe gets him to do things that he wouldn’t normally do.
