totally cool! good job!!

Was a really fun watch. Gratz on the winnings and gl with your future games.

I recant my comment Awesome playing btw! Great call with that A-9! Thick skin fending off Helmuth needling

Looked fine to me. Good to school the older legends.

be careful lending money tom pay over 15yrs 😅 even u lend 150k they pay u super fast with high inflation lose 1500 😄

I mean, Phil is used to playing against crushers who are thinking of ranges, tendencies, and pot odds. When most of the players are willing to go all-in with Q5 offsuit it does get frustrating when you A) Dont realize your equity and B) Have a hard time understanding what are essentially illogical decisions. So hard to adjust since you don't know when your opponents will flip the switch of either being a call station or a folding machine

@@wesleykim1758 I agree but a professional should be able to quickly assess his competition and adjust without all the pouting. If he is unable to just play and have fun with these people he should not take part, especially since he was representing professional players.

@@jamesjack3519 Yeah, Hellmuth is definitely not a very good choice for a poker ambassador, never really liked him because of his inability to not be an ass when the deck isn't't in his favor. Just saw some of his rage clips and it does piss me off that that's how he acts with inexperienced players who are there for fun. On another note, even as a professional getting reads on inexperienced players is like trying to understand the logic of a child, not saying anyone playing is a child. They dont know what they are doing and they are constantly changing their strategy to what makes sense to them even if logically it doesnt make sense since they are being put into all of these novel situations with a lot of money on the line. Kids like to experiment and explore, and that is exactly what their gameplay is like since they are constantly gaining new experiences. Grizzled bitter mis-regs stick have played Hundreds of thousands of hands and roughly know what to do in most situations, and are thus more consistent overall with their decisions regardless of their strategy. Variance is a b**** and it gets ramped up to 11 with new people, so you just have to be okay with experiencing those swings or dont play or dont get mad when the cards dont go your way

Yeah, she is not as rich as some of the players there. That was actually some good money for her.

Haha, I only noticed Helmut after I read your comment 😂 I’m into KZfaq and getting into chess now too, so.. he’s not the celebrity on this table for me 😂 and I’ve only seen Helmut lose to be honest 😂 not sure where he has the money to still be playing..

I'd argue it's even more fun

You always have to factor Helmuth Tilt Equity into your decisions...

not only that but for Alex to get under his skin when she played well…the ”Ace 9 off suit” set him off 😂

Why do you want phil to lose? 😂 Not defending him just genuinly curious

@@pkblade what i love i that phil has played A9os that same way in the past. She played extremely well, hes just a big pu$$y.

Absolutely agree!

Absolutely agree!

Dude have 30 year of experience How much you make in 30 year?

Most of the calls were obvious even just from her perspective but she did make some gutsy calls too.

@@daz1676 To be fair, an "all in" could be priced very well. It wasn't here, so I understand what you are saying, but saying not to call an "all in" is too ambiguous it doesn't specify the chips behind. There are plenty of good calls with A9 off if the price is there.

The amateurs minimized the pros' advantage by increasing variance. Not really hard to understand. Short term variance.

It’s just because amateurs are way less predictable than pros

@@roistin3944 Exactly, as a one off its not too hard, over a period of time the pro takes all the money.

because they were playing bad and she happened to have strong ass hands

being good at poker is just making a system that will be profitable in maybe 200 tournaments, maybe you lose 199 but the one you win makes up for all with some profit and you just apply it over and over. In rest you let the odds play for you, this is what a lot of people don't get.

Poker is much luck if u play just few hundret hands. In the longrun she would lose money for sure. But she wasnt that bad. Magnus Carlsen is also very good and i can say it because i won over 250k netprofit in 2 years. To be honest, Hellmuth and Tom arent that good in Cashgame.

@@marcelmattern7722 Netto Profit ist before or after taxes?

@@marcelmattern7722 on this particular table I am not sure she loses in the long run. Yes she makes mistakes and would lose against pro players only, but here she plays against other amateurs also and she doesn't seems to light money on fire like some other players at the table.

@@totalhysteria For me dwan and Hellmuth are not pro cashgame player. Dwan was it few years ago and hellmuth is a bad cashgame player as well. Against these Player maybe she would win money in the longrun but not 450k each time.

@@marcelmattern7722 Where's the bus dude?

If you bankroll yourself properly, yes. If you don't, i'd run away with that money.

YES!! Do it!

Yea but don’t spoil how much you made at the start lead up to it sheesh lol

@@Botmfeeder02 Just let Alan Keating bankroll her l o l

The action was intense, the beats where HUGE, and "Alex Moneymaker" made LOTS of money. I am sure Poker crowned a new Princess that night, and I am sure if you keep this up, QUEEN might be the next title Poker can get you :)

@@theodorehsu5023 yes most watched poker live stream ever. Not cuz of level of play, but how stupid ppl could be playing w 250-500k lol. Queen of poker lol, ppl tuned in cuz like a train wreck they can’t look away!

@@greglist2991 who the hell are you? A bunch of pros Doug Polk amongst them already stated this was the best poker game of all time. It was entertaining, how many poker games have you seen where one guy casually tells the dealer they will tip them 20k if they put a queen on the river. Get overyourself. Only grain of salt was Hellmuth being an absolute embarassment to the community. 25k straddle by beast he goes all in for 2BB with a-8 and keeps shittalking Botez for 2 hours what a bad player she is. He might be the most winning tournament player of all time but his cash game is a joke.

@@Andeyh wtf are you? Yeah it was entertaining, not cuz quality of play. But you watch the train wreck of ppl play insanely stupid hands. And yeah it was stupid to call Phil’s bet w A9 off. Wanna know how I know? If she felt her hand was good, why not go all in then? Vs call, w ppl behind her to act. Alan, donk, all in w A3 off. Beast, crazy dude w too much money, all in w Q5 off lol. Then she has to think about it and calls lol. All I need to say is beast was willing to tip 20k if dealer gave him a Q lol.

@@greglist2991 my man you are just as bad as Phil.

Most of the calls she made were the logical ones, but that 9 was pure luck. She did make that one really tough call also. Most of the others (of what was shown) made sense from he perspective as well.

Yeah, but next time Dnegs instead of Phil, they'd be vibing way better together

@@Tobiasliese Dnegs AND Phil may be even better... I love watching Tom play, but his brilliance really shines more against pros, not complete donkeys or all-in-fests...

She is going all in nice training.

Your comment doesn't have enough likes because Indians doesn't play poker much so are you planning to boost poker ? @Samay Raina

If so, you should demand some of the piece ;)

Training? Who trained her lol she didn’t play like she had any basic preflop training even

@@carloslarrazabal6778 she was trained by a poker player a day ago, i don't think someone can learn a game in a single day practicing for 2 hours but she won 450k regardless so tilted much ?

You might also want to ask if other female streamers/poker stars might want to make a "Ladies' Night" as well, either like the "Streamers Special" or one where you all play for charities close to you, bust-outs get an amount equal to their stake donated to their charity, and everyone else get at least that to their charities (what you win, gets donated if more than your "stake") with biggest winner also get a bonus added to their donated stake. Let's not forget that earlier WPT stream where Kelly Minkin played (and brought her baby boy for the fanbase to "aww" about).

I can think of at least one person who isn't stoked 😂

Is he a professional poker player?

@@neverninetofive nope absolutely not. From what i know he is as said introduction cards some form of investor. And he clearly doesn’t have to care about the money. At the end of the stream you can see him casually taping the 300k he owed Alexandra with his card

@@neverninetofive he hosts massive home games with billionaires. Hes a true sicko degen gentleman

@@neverninetofive He was originally known as being Dan Bilzerians best friend. Dan Bilzerian supposedly made his original fortune in high stakes cash games (which people dispute). Its definitely disputed whether alan is a pro or not, his history is pretty mysterious but he doesnt have any major tournament wins despite being a staple in high stakes back room cash games. He was complaining about how much money he had lost to Phil at the table, saying that phil should have a plaque with Alan's name on it on all his furniture because he basically payed for all of it. My guess is trust fund kid.

I love your work man! Rewatched so many times goku vs saitama. Alex is so hot, collected and smart, almost like an anime character.

I absolutely agree with what you said, I just have to say I read your comment while hearing 13:39 lmao

SIIIMMMMPPPPPPPP

@@jmbd1593grow up

That A9 call would have failed every other time.

You dont know poker if you think she could beat phil heads up

She beats Phil 1 out of 10 times. 😊

I thought that is who is was. It has been a long time since I watched poker shows. I did notice it took them a long time to figure out the amount for each call. Odd for people with experience. I could understand Alex needing help though.

when?

Where did you play?

@@SerErryk my home was San Diego, but my regular circuit was all of Southern California, up to L.A. all casinos and card rooms. I flew to Vegas at least once a month and would stay about a week or so. During WSOP tournament season, I flew to each event in the U.S. I didnt see home for months at a time.

@@rixanneh18 Now comes the big-money questions, how did you do in cash and tournaments? Was it enough to keep as a pro?

@@rixanneh18 "During WSOP tournament season, I flew to each event in the U.S." Huuuhhhhhh???? The WSOP and ALL of its events is held in ONE casino.

@@theodorehsu5023 I don't think this person is being exactly truthful

Yeah, the 9 was lucky but most of her moves made sense.

No, 1: Helmut and Dwan aren't even top100, Dwan once was but his best days are long gone 2: poker has luck, chess almost doesn't, and this isn't even 1vs1 with a decent amount of hands. I like Alex and she played well, but you are totally off

Not really equivalent at all. Yes, there is skill in poker, and the good players know how to make a profit in the long run, but there is also a luck factor involved and it is way easier to have a lucky poker game against an expert poker player then to have a lucky chess game against a chess GM. It would literally be impossibly for a chess amateur to beat Magnus Carlsen once, let alone three games in a row since there is almost no luck factor in chess.

The pressure from competitive chess is immense and probably translates over well to poker. Basically making logical decisions while hiding intemse emotions with no physical outlet for relief.

You must be new to poker.

Phil has gone downhill . Berating players is ok , in my opinion , but berating the dealers is completely classless

They literally brought Phil on so he could behave like this. That's what they wanted. And he knew that's what they wanted. He was there to be good content, and he lived up to it. I can't comprehend anyone saying Phil was "out of line" at this streamer table unless they've literally never heard of him before.

@@codetaku yup , he is putting on a pre-planned exaggerated act , but some of it is genuine, lol . But criticising the dealers for not letting go of the deck before cutting is absurd . He did it multiple times

definitely was just clicking buttons but it worked out, variance is crazy, everyone else was playing bad too so its all good

You AP poker? How? Any free resources worth checking out?

@@christophercarlone9945 I dont exactly know what you mean what is AP?

@@brentabel5094 The only gambling related acronym I can think of would be "Advantage Play/Player". Guess it kinda applies, idk.

@@wylde678 That makes sense actually. I just play poker have since the boom in 2003 and started getting good enough to quit work and concentrate on my game.

No…the math is easy…poker is hard.

The only way she can make that call is if she puts him exactly on a flush draw.

Well said.

you think alan keating is a pro? He's the biggest fish in poker! have you seen this guy play?

and now, we wait for the butthurt poker fans to make excuses for phil . *"phil's always been like that, idk why u mad? boohooo"*

Phil has always had a temper

@@3BetLight you may be right. He might not be a pro but he is not a fish. A fish would be more like a player who has no idea about the game but Keating has been playing for years. Many might call him a whale. He loves to gamble it up and give action. There are times when I have seen him win multiple multiple 6 figures.

is she in the top 100 though? i remember she said she just got in when seh was around 585k up, later she lost around 100k and actually left while 456k up. I imagine it counts how much you earn by the end of the game? not at the highest point?

i just checked and top 100 is Lika Gerasimova with $ 512,717 earned. So Alex isn't in the ranking actually.

@@r1reis She plays another stream and gets it like this, she might become top 100.
