Wie viel Markup ist gerechtfertigt, ab wann ist es schlicht und einfach Betrug? Die Poker-Community diskutierter über Phil Hellmuth und sein Verhalten beim $300K Super High Roller Bowl.
Phil Hellmuth ist einer der beliebtesten Poker-Pros überhaupt. Selbst seine Verbindung zur Skandal-Plattform Ultimate Bet fügten dem baumlangen US-Amerikaner keinen dauerhaften Imageschaden zu.
Dass The Poker Brat polarisiert zeigt die jüngste Diskussion. Phil Hellmuth gehörte zu den 48 Spielern, die den $300.000 High Roller Bowl spielen durften. Trotz des hohen Buy-Ins und des starken Feldes, trat der 53 Jährige verspätet an den Tisch.
Stuck in traffic @phil_hellmuth ?

Steffen Sontheimer war jedoch nicht der Einzige, der sich über Hellmuth lustig machte. Scott Seiver bemängelte Hellmuths Professionalität und hinterfragte, wie viel Action der Altmeister hält.
Here’s your regular reminder that when @phil_hellmuth trashes people for having small pieces of themselves in a super high roller he is 100% guaranteed to have the smallest piece of himself of any single person that played the event. #HYPOCRISY

Dies war der Anstoß für eine rege Diskussion. Phil Hellmuth verteidigte sich und berichtete, dass er $60.000 im Super High Roller hält. Auch das Markup von bis zu 1.8, welches er bei vielen Staking-Abmachungen verlangt, sind in seinen Augen gerechtfertigt.
I had 20% of myself Scott. You said “100% GTD,” lay me 50-to-1 on this for $10,000? Of course, anyone trading pieces to where they have less than 20%, I win https://t.co/0SOPUhhqOV

Hmmm…I’ve sold two tourneys on @YouStake, both @WPT ‘s, and I cashed for over $50,000 both times (12th and 7th). I showed up on Day 2 for both (late late), does that mean I didn’t put “Some effort” in? Great returns for those who invested! And yes, I’ll prob show up late! https://t.co/WDVm2DZRcA

When @phil_hellmuth charges 1.8 markup for a 10k TURBO KNOCKOUT, there should be an SEC investigation because he is literally defrauding people out of their money. You should be embarrassed to hustle people out of their $20 investments. Absolutely pathetic

Pretending that uneducated investors should do their due diligence else suffer the consequences is lazy. It implies we as a community should punish ignorance in a cannibalistic way– something we largely police, i.e. angles, thieves, unfair edge seekers who prey upon ignorance

Matt – I posted two $10k tournies lifetime on @YouStake and cashed for over $50,000 both times. I have best R. O. I. In history (see USA Today article a few years back). I believe my mark up is warranted. You have issue w that. But you use the word “Cannibalistic,” really? https://t.co/obs1eR6Xaf

Ryan – as often is the case, i disagree w the math. I believe that for $1 invested in me at @WSOP in Hold’em tourneys, I’ve cashed for over $3. I realize that I’m the outlier on the R.O.I. chart, but it’s a fact #PHOutlier https://t.co/4oBzqBNCzO
