is this the most unbelievably terrible fold you've ever seen?

the actual decision starts around the 1:00 mark of the video and runs almost the entire rest of the way...you should watch especially around the time of his actual fold when getting reactions from the rest of the table, mike matusow's and mike sexton's reactions are really funny

Update:

i don't stay up late enough usually to watch poker after dark but came across this on the internet one night...now, i'm not in any real position to criticize phil hellmuth's play, but his fold in this hand has to be the absolute worst poker play i have ever seen in my life, even in spite of the fact that the guy he's playing against was an amateur and playing super tight

so, what do you guys think? if someone can convince me that the fold is more profitable than just calling or moving in they will win a cookie

Update 2:

you're right about hellmuth darth, at least when he starts this walking in circles routine which he does so often...maybe if he didn't trumpet himself around so much as the guy who can "fold big hands" or care so much about said image he would find it in his heart to get all his money in with the third best starting hand in poker

Update 3:

that first additional detail is actually the original details of the question, and vice versa...y!a is retarded

    Phil prides himself on his great folds. He brags that this is the reason he is 'as good as' he is. I don't like the fold at all! But I don't have 11 bracelets either.

    Wow, terrible terrible fold. With QQ and 15bb left, I'm drooling like Pavlov's dog when the bell is rung. Shoving 100% of the time. How this man has won 11 WSOP bracelets is beyond me.

    Well, it's Phil Hellmuth. I could do that to Him, the Guy is easier to read than Horton Hears A Who.
