I really do wonder if Phil Hellmuth takes himself serious when he’s making silly videos like this for iAmplify. He’s even wearing his sunglasses, like what the hell dude? Phil, really? Are you serious? You need some money? I can loan you some if you need it… Seriously. 10% Juice!

In any other state, playing passively when you already have a strong hand is extremely risky. In a Way Ahead/Way Behind State, though, there’s no other way to play your cards. When does a WA/WB happen? You can only encounter this when you’re playing Pot Limit Texas Hold’em. In a nutshell, the happens when you’re either way ahead of the other players or maybe you’re way behind them in terms of what hand you were dealt with.
That might have confused you a little, and it’s not really very surprising that it did. Assessing a WA/WB state is difficult. 
The only way you can do this is try to guess what the other player’s hands are based on the cards that are already on the board.
For WA/WB states, you should watch out for two or more cards thrown on board which would indicate that your opponent is about to flush or flush draw. You should also watch out for cards that are connecting, or those that can give your opponent away on an intended straight or straight draw.
In any case, a WA/WB state gives you very small chance of winning or losing. It all depends on how well you can control yourself while you’re playing the game. Should you play too aggressively with a WA/WB hand, you can either end up digging your own grave, or worse, scaring your opponent away from the hand.

WSOP table, Doyle Brunson and Phil Ivey fighting, Phil Hellmuth sitting on the side ignoring the two gambler degens like the pro he is.
I’m seriously wondering though, what are they arguing about? It’s obviously a bet, but now – I need to know – what bet!!!?
Still: Funny Shit!

What a great hand to show as the start of this blog. Jennifer Harman taking her Pocket Aces into Phil Ivey’s Pocket Jacks and Howard Lederer‘s somewhat ridiculous Ace Eight off suit. Excellent fold by Phil on the end, he got 3-to-1 on that call…
I promise more great poker hands on this blog!
