so useful for it's like poker is a great

tool for women to just get in and get

3:48

the feel of doing risky things.

7:45

there who it was his actual birthday

7:54

somebody. What do you say to your sons

8:02

>> He said, "My buddies bought all these

8:03

8:15

>> Very nice. Okay.

8:15

>> It looks like you kept some of it.

8:17

>> It's all Saints. I mean, I do wear some

8:19

of it.

8:19

>> What happened to the bra we bought?

8:20

8:37

Everything's so

8:37

>> J's the one who churns the butter.

8:39

>> True.

8:41

Someone's got to churn the butter.

8:43

>> There's people milking the cow. We're at

8:44

the home game, but Jal turns the butter.

8:46

>> No, no. I swear to God, I'm at the home

8:47

game and I see this GoFundMe page. like,

8:50

"Hey, invest in our company, whatever."

8:51

I was like, "I don't know. Crowdfunding,

8:53

whatever."

8:53

>> So, I'm like, I'm trying it out. I'm

8:55

like, "What should I do?" And I'm like,

8:56

"Well, Phil Helmouth is wearing um a

8:59

tracksuit that literally has tears in

9:01

it. It's so old. It's like fraying."

9:03

>> Yes.

9:04

>> So, I just put up a um

9:07

help fund a new tracksuit for Phil H. I

9:09

took a picture of his fraying, you know,

9:12

classic Adidas tracksuit. And instantly

9:15

$2,000 comes in from the poker

9:17

community.

9:17

>> Wow. 50 different people are like

9:19

absolutely that tracksuit smells.

9:21

>> That is something that benefits all of

9:23

us is to put him in a new trackuit.

9:25

>> Wow. Funny.

9:26

>> 10 six.

9:27

>> How much?

9:28

>> Two.

9:29

>> What do you have though?

9:30

>> Wow.

9:32

>> Oh, yeah.

9:33

>> I could have lost a lot more. I was

9:34

never folding.

9:35

>> Oh, he had the eight.

9:37

>> Never folded.

9:39

>> You like that check on the flop? WHO

9:41

GETS IT ALL THE TIME?

9:44

>> 10.

9:45

>> OH, BOY. As I like to say in the home

9:47

game, I don't mind losing to Chimoth,

9:49

boys. How about that?

9:52

>> Nobody checks the flop on that flop if

9:54

you have the button. Except yours truly.

9:57

>> Chimath, take us behind your brilliant

9:59

play.

10:00

>> Well, [laughter]

10:01

you

10:02

>> It's a new segment on poker.

10:03

>> Here, I I I will tell you because I

10:05

don't I don't really care that much to

10:06

to hold it back, but

10:07

>> they say that should be in the middle.

10:10

>> Phil will never play a three street

10:11

hand. So you have to reduce you have to

10:14

figure out the mechanics that gets him

10:16

most of the chips in in a two street

10:17

hand.

10:17

>> Oh wow.

10:18

>> So

10:19

>> he'll never he'll never just you can

10:21

look at any hand.

10:21

>> It's totally totally uh press and so you

10:24

check. Now you reduce it to a two street

10:26

hand. You min bet the turn. Sometimes

10:28

he'll pop you.

10:30

>> Wow.

10:30

>> I almost popped.

10:32

>> So if I'm bluffing three streets if I'm

10:33

not two.

10:34

>> No. No. Helm has this very specific

10:36

thing where he just he just will not

10:38

play three street hands.

10:39

>> Right. Right.

10:40

>> There's a lot of does.

10:42

>> I've noticed that. No.

10:44

>> Yeah. Keeps it small. He likes to keep

10:45

it small.

10:50

>> Unlike

10:53

>> King made it too.

10:53

>> Oh, Keing made it to two. Sorry, I was

10:55

going to raise.

10:56

>> It's the home game. You're allowed to

10:57

raise if you want your mouth.

10:58

>> It's okay. Just going to be respectful.

11:00

>> I think fundamentally there's two two

11:02

types. One person looks for reasons to

11:03

fold and one person looks for reasons to

11:05

call. Right.

11:06

>> You and I are opposites on that.

11:08

>> I'm definitely the person who looks for

11:10

reasons to call. For sure. Uh-huh.

11:12

>> You don't say. I concede. [laughter]

11:22

>> These are kind of like the old school

11:23

font playing cards. I like it.

11:29

>> 17.

11:37

This feels This feels stealable, but

11:42

running the game.

11:44

>> Button move.

11:46

>> Phil Helm is the button. Phil,

11:48

>> I'm gonna say this.

13:48

>> Yeah, it's amazing, man.

13:52

>> Okay, I'll go all in.

13:53

>> Hold up.

13:55

>> Yikes.

13:57

>> Reedberg's

13:59

always dangerous. always dangerous.

14:01

You're like the the quiet killer at the

14:03

poker table.

14:04

>> Wow.

14:05

>> Every time

14:06

>> I needed a club. I had the ace of clubs

14:08

blocker.

14:09

>> It's like a perfect fluff card for me.

14:11

>> I don't think I've ever seen Dave have a

14:14

losing session ever.

14:15

>> I've had losing. I'm down to

14:16

>> Oh, yeah. I know. I've never I've never

14:17

seen it. No, he didn't lose any other

14:19

year. And then this is the first year.

14:21

>> This is the first year I'm losing.

14:22

You're right. Yeah.

14:22

>> Yeah. And I don't know why.

14:23

>> Play once.

14:24

>> I didn't play a lot.

14:25

>> He's played like seven six times with

14:27

us. He he's been a little bit like he's

14:29

used to sitting down and having the deck

14:31

smash him. He doesn't know what to do

14:32

when doesn't have any hands.

14:33

>> I noticed that.

14:37

>> He works his bicep.

14:38

>> I really enjoyed that one tournament. I

14:40

played that I played that $10,000 World

14:42

Series tournament.

14:43

>> I've never heard that one. [laughter]

14:44

>> Um what was that? We all played the

14:48

World Series 10,000 buying.

14:49

>> Oh yeah, that turbo.

14:50

>> The turbo. That was super fun, man.

14:52

>> 61212.

14:53

>> Yeah.

14:54

>> Yeah. You guys came in for that. the the

14:56

10,000

14:57

>> that honestly I enjoy that.

14:59

if we launch allin tournament

15:01

series as our adviser, our top adviser

15:04

and then heating as our second most

15:07

important adviser, what would you guys

15:09

advise us to do with our

15:11

>> say there's no amount

15:13

>> I'd say

15:14

>> we need professional sky youth for any

15:17

amount he wants basically.

15:18

>> He's the biggest influencer in the game.

15:20

That's all. No, no, but we we need

15:22

advice from tournament experts like

15:25

>> look everybody one thing that I would

15:28

say is tournaments right now in my

15:31

opinion it's like they're they're

15:33

hurting hurting cattle into a like at a

15:37

farm. In my opinion like players are

15:39

kind of treated like you guys will do

15:41

whatever we want you to do because we

15:43

know you will. So they just kind of

15:44

treat the mainstream player pretty bad

15:46

in tournament stops. So I think like

15:49

starting earlier, having a nice lunch

15:51

break, letting them go home at a recent

15:53

at a decent time like rather than just

15:55

like

15:55

>> that would go that would get me to play

15:56

a couple.

15:57

>> Yeah. This is why you like Triton. Is

15:58

Triton different?

15:59

>> Triton plays late, but they give you a

16:01

super ultra like VIP experience.

16:03

>> Uh I still wish that they would shut

16:06

things down earlier, but those guys

16:07

don't really

16:09

>> work like that. They just play all day

16:11

every day and the end of the day you

16:13

have to cater to what they want. But

16:14

like

16:16

uh

16:16

>> oh

16:18

>> what do we got? Beautiful

16:20

>> 82

16:21

>> 82 that JCO J

16:26

tomorrow Gil Labbert is hosting the one

16:28

drop at noon by

16:29

>> Yeah you were telling us that

16:31

>> I had a really good

16:32

>> it's going to be a fast

16:33

>> Oh my god I was dead.

16:34

>> I would play that.

16:37

Oh,

16:37

>> no. [snorts] 90% you can donate. Like

16:40

I'll if I win, I'm going to obviously

16:41

donate

16:42

>> probably all of it. At least half.

16:44

Donate to

16:44

>> How much is the buy in?

16:46

>> $5,000 buying. Great

16:47

>> at noon. And they're going to they're

16:49

going to end it quickly. We need to do a

16:51

good group of people.

16:52

>> But you're doing live.

16:52

>> We want to do the most elite poker

16:54

tournament ever with the highest end. So

16:57

would poker players

16:58

>> 816.

16:59

>> Yes.

17:00

>> 816.

17:01

>> Would Let me ask you one question

17:03

though. Um, would poker players be

17:05

willing to pay to play in a tournament,

17:07

to play in an elite kind of environment?

17:10

>> I Yes, I think absolutely. I think

17:13

>> even professional poker players, they

17:16

lean towards good experiences. They go

17:17

to venues that make them happy when they

17:20

wake up and grab breakfast or take a

17:21

walk outside. Like a few of the stops

17:24

that you play internationally, they feel

17:25

like poker prison. It's like the only

17:27

thing that exists is a poker. You just

17:29

get depressed. Like, why am I here? I

17:31

don't want to be here. So, I think have

17:33

it at a great venue where there's stuff

17:35

for people to do outside of poker. Have

17:36

reasonable hours for the tournament.

17:38

Make it more experience-based than just

17:40

poker. Like, so people are actually

17:42

enjoying themselves.

17:43

>> And the thing is, if you want it DJ,

17:45

>> bestie hand,

17:46

>> if you want it DJ, like there's a

17:47

casino. Like, you can bag your chips up

17:49

and go DJ. Like, if you want more time

17:51

to gamble, like you can do that.

17:53

>> I would say that these guys and us, we

17:55

all like two-day tournaments. Like,

17:57

let's get the final table on day two. I

17:59

mean, that's just that's

18:00

>> every Triton tournament is a two-day

18:01

tournament,

18:01

>> right? Even King might be able.

18:03

>> My biggest issue with tournaments is

18:04

there's too much skill involved. I'd

18:07

like to figure out a way where it's more

18:09

luck, you know.

18:10

>> Well, Triton's fast schedules or fast

18:12

structures really

18:15

give me three cards. I don't know.

18:16

>> Have you seen how many randoms went

18:17

tournament skating?

18:19

>> Yeah.

18:20

>> Faster structures they they [laughter]

18:22

you know

18:23

>> four three.

18:24

>> Yeah. offsuit jack like a

18:26

ding-dong ships it with the offsuit jack

18:29

which is the right thing to do.

18:30

>> There's a lot of luck involved in

18:31

tournaments and

18:32

>> I'm only playing the players.

18:33

>> I'm really just being silly.

18:35

>> I could have had that ace, bro. What

18:36

else would I have done on the button?

18:37

>> I had four five. I was about to raise. I

18:39

was about to three bet. You would have

18:40

isolated.

18:42

>> I had a king. Actually, if you bet

18:44

small, you would have wrote me into that

18:45

hand. I wanted to take it down early cuz

18:49

all I'm playing for is second place

18:50

right now. I know one of these idiots

18:53

pros is going to win first. All I have

18:55

to do is

18:56

>> just get lucky and double my money.

18:58

>> It would be impossible for me to win a

19:00

30-minute tournament. Jason,

19:01

>> what is this?

19:05

>> Talking about having a chance.

19:06

>> Yeah.

19:07

>> I just need to get lucky.

19:09

>> I think the blinds have to go up next

19:10

hand cuz

19:11

>> correct. Yeah, there's no way this is

19:13

going to finish if we

19:13

>> By the way, good food when people are

19:15

playing like an actual offering that

19:18

isn't discussing.

19:19

>> I think

19:19

>> Play your hand.

19:20

>> What's the blind schedule? It's like

19:21

>> 32. Um,

19:22

>> we'll go 1.

19:26

>> Maybe we go two, four.

19:27

>> Oh, can we play a bomb pot?

19:29

>> This This isn't fast enough for you.

19:31

>> Well, I'm just wondering about

19:32

>> playing three hands a level.

19:33

>> Why don't we add a bomb pod to this?

19:34

[laughter]

19:36

>> I'm not even kidding.

19:37

>> One level was two hands.

19:39

>> Why don't we play bomb pot? What time

19:40

are we supposed to go on stage?

19:41

>> Can we rotate a bomb pod? I check.

19:43

>> Is it 1:30?

19:45

>> Oh What happened? Is it just me

19:47

and Helmu?

19:49

>> Me and Helmu?

19:50

>> Yes. Catch up.

19:59

I think we just make it a $1,000 bump

20:01

for the rest of the way.

20:02

>> We could also just like play until

20:05

>> No, you guys have to leave and then we

20:06

just all in dark and see who wins. I

20:08

mean,

20:08

>> this is frustrating. I have a pair

20:12

>> 6K. He would bet 4K if you

20:14

>> If you could give us a longer speech

20:15

before you fold, that would be great.

20:16

Thanks. [laughter]

20:18

I took 11 seconds.

20:20

>> Literally four 4 second levels. This

20:22

guy's taking a 30 minutes.

20:23

>> He's like, "Guys, you're not going to

20:24

believe this, but I I got a piece of the

20:26

flop."

20:26

>> What are we at? 4,08.

20:28

>> Let me make it about me.

20:29

>> They call that funeral for your cards,

20:32

right?

20:32

>> Yeah. He's literally giving a eulogy for

20:35

his body.

20:35

>> I mean, I took 11 seconds.

20:36

>> We have 38 minutes. Everybody like

20:38

>> I took 11 seconds to idiots. They really

20:42

want to find a way to make

20:43

>> Can you guys put a crafts table in the

20:45

corner?

20:45

>> Yeah. while we're playing.

20:47

>> I actually am a big fan of that.

20:49

>> I have a Wouldn't that be great?

20:50

>> A cold brew out there. Would you mind

20:52

asking to bring my cold brew in?

20:54

>> We had fun playing Bakarat

20:55

>> on the table from Starbucks right there.

20:56

>> Bakarat is more my speed.

20:58

>> You and me and we had uh we had some of

21:00

our

21:02

23:51

to drag people into the deep water.

27:42

>> I may pop up for New Year's. I would

27:45

like to play some kind of like a new

27:47

game like learn a new game like Raz or

27:49

Studs.

27:50

>> We could do like a some random games

27:52

that none of us have ever played before.

27:54

>> I just Yeah. I would like to play low

27:55

stakes like

27:56

>> some Chinese half deck.

27:58

>> No, no. Like what do you want? You don't

28:00

want the short deck.

28:00

>> No, no. I would like I would love

28:02

>> short deck with an ante. Yeah.

28:04

>> No, no. Let's play short deck.

28:05

[laughter] If we play short decks low,

28:07

>> don't worry guys, we'll learn this all

28:08

together.

28:09

>> I don't know how to play any of the like

28:11

stud games like Well,

28:14

Oh.

28:15

>> Oh my god.

28:16

>> Please hold up.

28:18

>> I got the six of the ace of the choppy.

28:21

>> WOW. [screaming]

28:23

>> YES, YES, YES. YES, YES, YES. OH MY GOD.

28:28

So great.

28:29

>> What a call by me.

28:31

>> Choppy. Choppy.

28:33

>> Wow.

28:34

>> Why do I not get rewarded for such

28:35

stellar play?

28:37

>> Unbelievable. It

28:38

>> was a really good call.

28:39

>> Nothing better than Helmuth not winning.

28:41

There is nothing better [laughter] than

28:43

that. Not

28:44

>> I do feel that way. Yeah.

28:46

>> It's so great when he doesn't win.

28:47

>> Yeah.

28:48

>> When he had when he what is it? 15. He

28:50

turns the

28:51

>> 153. Okay.

28:55

>> Oh, you don't like it when I do that, do

28:57

you?

28:57

>> For the viewers, one thing that they

28:59

>> I thought if you had a pair, you would

29:00

call

29:03

>> I have to move in with ace high there. I

29:04

think one thing the viewers should know

29:05

about poker is all the money in the

29:08

middle makes it so that you don't have

29:10

to get your money in in front for it to

29:12

be profitable. That's like an important

29:14

thing for people to understand.

29:15

Sometimes even if you know your beat, if

29:17

you're being laid a price to gamble,

29:19

sometimes you have to gamble and it's

29:20

better than folding. That's something

29:22

and I think there's a lot of analogies

29:23

to that

29:25

>> in business. Yep.

29:27

>> Life decision making.

29:29

>> Yeah. Like sometimes you know you have

29:31

the worst of it but you got to run it.

29:38

Having the best hand is kind of lame to

29:40

be honest. [laughter]

29:42

>> It's rare. It doesn't happen often some

29:44

nights happens a lot, but

29:46

>> you hold them. It's hard to make a good

29:48

hand.

29:49

>> That's why it's the best game.

29:51

>> PLO, I feel like it's been sold as if

29:54

it's an action game. But you come into

29:56

the hand with king 10, 74.

29:58

>> You're facing king, queen, jack, 10, and

30:00

pocket kings and aces. So many hands.

30:03

>> There's no board where you're

30:04

>> dominate. Yeah.

30:05

>> Or your advantage.

30:06

>> You can't catch.

30:07

>> Short-handed. It's

30:08

>> I said all in.

30:09

>> True.

30:09

>> Short-handed. It's

30:10

>> true.

30:11

>> I'm going to need a little advice.

30:12

>> I said all in.

30:13

>> No, I He went all in. But

30:15

>> uh I think it's been sold as a gambler's

30:17

game when

30:17

>> this is going to be a big decision for

30:18

me. How much chips did he have left? All

30:21

in.

30:22

>> He could have ace king here. He could

30:23

have king queen here.

30:25

>> He's got like 193 or something.

30:28

I think this would be a very tough

30:31

decision for me.

30:32

>> He doesn't have aces, but he could have

30:34

ace king. He could have king queen.

30:36

>> Wow. Do I want to go out?

30:40

>> Could he do that with queens or tens?

30:44

He knows I could have a king.

30:46

Really difficult decision. Could have.

30:48

Could he have any of those set of

30:50

sevens? No.

30:51

>> I'll just go grab one.

30:52

>> He did raise pre flop. He could have ace

30:54

kings. sugar non- sugar things or

30:56

whatever sweetened.

30:58

>> Nice to be here.

30:59

>> Okay, I'll take

31:00

>> So many chips left.

31:02

>> Any of them.

31:04

>> Thank you.

31:06

>> All right, I'm going to lift if I fight

31:07

another day.

31:11

>> Run it. Run it. Rabbit hunt. Let's see

31:12

it.

31:13

>> He's going back door regardless.

31:15

>> World's easiest call.

31:16

>> NO.

31:18

>> OH MY GOD. [screaming] WHAT?

31:20

>> OH, he he folded.

31:22

>> He wanted the best hand by all. I knew

31:24

it was coming. He's running so hot right

31:26

now.

31:27

>> I knew it was coming.

31:28

>> You avoided the pain.

31:30

>> Wow.

31:30

>> I was like, you know what? I could live

31:31

to fight another day here.

31:32

>> That's second level play right there.

31:35

>> Fear rewarded. [laughter]

31:37

>> Second level.

31:37

>> The pros would have snapped the money.

31:39

>> Fear rewarded.

31:40

>> No, I mean, he's playing against me, so

31:42

I would put him on a better hand playing

31:43

against me. He knows I'm, you know, I

31:45

play a tighter range of hands. So,

31:46

>> good read.

31:47

>> Yeah,

31:48

>> it was the wrong read. King N. You're

31:50

right. King nine of clubs was a little

31:52

stronger than [laughter] I thought. Pre

31:54

flop.

31:54

>> Yeah. He flips that over and you're

31:55

like,

31:56

>> I was like, "Oh god, that's gross."

31:58

>> Right.

32:00

[laughter]

32:03

>> Oh boy.

32:04

>> That was a good hand. I like that hand.

32:10

>> Run.

32:12

>> We got to get sacks out here.

32:14

>> Mhm.

32:14
