$\""Poker$ In episode 23 of "Hellmuth's Home Game," Phil Hellmuth emerged as the biggest winner of the night with a profit of 12,150. Meanwhile, 3Coin made a series of inexplicable decisions in key hands, ultimately losing over 10,000.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

What is 3Coin thinking?
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
In the third hand of the game (and the first hand shown in this episode), Kelly Lucas, in the crucial position, received K\u2666K\u2663 and raised to [number missing].\u00a0<\/span> $300. Randy \u201c3Coin\u201d Sadler called from the small blind with A\u266310\u2666, while Hellmuth multi-called with 4\u26653\u2663.<\/span>300<\/span>\u3002<\/span>R<\/span>an<\/span>d<\/span>y<\/span>\u201c3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>\u201d<\/span>S<\/span>a<\/span>d<\/span>l<\/span>er<\/span>In the small blind position<\/span>A<\/span>\u266310\u2666<\/span>Call,<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>Then<\/span>4\u26653\u2663<\/span>More bets<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>200 came to defend against his $100 positioning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin checked on the flop of 5\u26664\u2660J\u2665, and Hellmuth bet with bottom pair.\u00a0<\/span> $Kelly called, while 3Coin, holding only Ace-high, checked and raised to 500.<\/span>500<\/span>\u3002<\/span>Ke<\/span>ll<\/span>y<\/span>Call, and only<\/span>A<\/span>High-end<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Then check and raise to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>1,500. Hellmuth folded, Kelly went all in, and surprisingly, 3Coin called with his remaining $3,225 chips.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
As usual, 3Coin dealt only one card, and neither the 6\u2663 on the turn nor the 8\u2660 on the river helped him.<\/span><\/p>
\u201cYou know what? 3Coin got itself killed by 3Coin,\u201d Sadler said. \u201cThat was a terrible move.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
"Do things the way they should."
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
3Coin limped in from the gun position with A\u26608\u2663, and Hellmuth called from the hijack position with 8\u26657\u2665. Mike \u201cThe Mouth\u201d Matusow then raised to $150 from the choke position with A\u26638\u2666, and Phillip \u201cP3\u201d Hellmuth III called from the small blind with 10\u26669\u2663.<\/span><\/p>
3Coin then flat-call and then raised to\u00a0<\/span> $Hellmuth called 350, Matusow folded. P3 called, and the three players entered the flop with 6\u26667\u26609\u2665. P3 checked, and 3Coin continued betting with his open-ended straight draw.<\/span>350<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>Call,<\/span>M<\/span>a<\/span>t<\/span>u<\/span>so<\/span>w<\/span>Fold.<\/span>P<\/span>3<\/span>Three people called and entered.<\/span>6\u26667\u26609\u2665<\/span>The flop.<\/span>P<\/span>3<\/span>Pass the card.<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>He continued betting with his two-sided straight draw.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Hellmuth then raised to $1,200 with his pair and straight draw.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
P3 had a stronger pair and straight draw, so he called, which prompted 3Coin to call as well. All three players checked on the turn 2\u2663, and the river K\u2663 completed the board.<\/span><\/p>
P3 checked, 3Coin went all-in with $3,100, and Hellmuth folded after a moment's thought. His son, P3, thought even longer and said, "I'm going to make another bad call against 3Coin. I need to think about it."<\/span><\/p>
3Coin then started a conversation at the table, and it worked; P3 eventually folded his best hand.<\/span><\/p>
"Do things the way they are," 3Coin uttered his signature catchphrase.<\/span><\/p>
3Coin caused P3 to lose everything.
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
In hand 31, P3 limped in from the hijack position with 10\u26609\u2663, and 3Coin raised to $125 from the button with 9\u26668\u2666. Kane Kalas called from the small blind with Q\u2665J\u2663, Hellmuth called from the big blind with 10\u26667\u2660, and P3 also called, bringing the four players to a flop of 2\u26609\u26658\u2665.<\/span><\/p>
After two checks, P3 bets with top pair.\u00a0<\/span> $3Coin called with top two pair at 300. Kalas folded, and Hellmuth called with his open-ended straight draw, then checked in the blinds. The turn 8\u2660 gave 3Coin a full house, and he bet after checking at P3.<\/span>300<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Call only with the top two pairs.<\/span>K<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span>a<\/span>s<\/span>Fold<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>He called with his open-ended straight draw, then checked from the blinds.

Hellmuth called, and both players checked on the river, which was K\u2665.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Hellmuth discarded his unfinished straight, and P3 used his last...\u00a0<\/span> $875 called, and could only watch helplessly.<\/span>875<\/span>Calling the bet meant you could only watch helplessly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A pool of 5,000 was pushed to 3Coin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin attempts to eliminate Hellmuth
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
In the 72nd hand of the game, Hellmuth limped in early position with K\u2663K\u2660, and P3 raised from the button with A\u26662\u2665.\u00a0<\/span> $150.3 Coin called with A\u26633\u2665 in the big blind, and Hellmuth limped and then raised to 150.3 Coin.<\/span>150<\/span>\u3002<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Big blind position<\/span>A<\/span>\u26633\u2665<\/span>Call,<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>Then, add to the position after the initial bet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>450. His two opponents called, and the three of them entered the flop with 2\u26607\u26665\u2660.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin checks, Hellmuth continues betting.\u00a0<\/span> $P3 folded his bottom pair to 500. 3Coin had a gutshot straight draw on the flop and min-raised to 500.<\/span>500<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>P<\/span>3<\/span>He discarded his bottom pair.<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>He had a gutshot straight draw on the flop and minimum-raised to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Hellmuth bet 1,000.\u00a0<\/span>2,525.3Coin needs to be called again.<\/span>2<\/span>,<\/span>525<\/span>\u3002<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Need to follow up<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>He called after the other player said he only wanted to be dealt one card.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Unfortunately for him, the 8\u2665 on the turn and the 6\u2665 on the river were both invalid cards, and he missed out on the pot of $6,475.<\/span><\/p>
3Coin is very sticky<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
In the final hand of this episode (hand 76 of the game), Rob limped with Q\u2663J\u2665, and 3Coin limped back from the hijack position with A\u266610\u2666. Hellmuth then raised to $200 from the button with A\u2660A\u2663, and Matusow called from the small blind with Q\u2666J\u2663.<\/span><\/p>
Rob called more.\u00a0<\/span> $150, then 3Coin re-bet to<\/span>150<\/span>,after<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Reverse injection<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>600. Not to be outdone, Hellmuth raised to $2,800, and Matusow and Rob both folded their QJ. 3Coin, never one to back down, called, seeing the flop come K\u26607\u26632\u2660.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin checked, but Hellmuth continued betting.\u00a0<\/span> $Hellmuth called at 1,100, and the turn card was a 6\u2660. He checked again with 3Coin, and...<\/span>1<\/span>,<\/span>100<\/span>I called, and then the turn card came.<\/span>6\u2660<\/span>\u3002<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Pass the card again.<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>\u4ee5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The 2,800 bet continued to apply pressure. This tactic worked, and 3Coin eventually folded, while Hellmuth revealed his hand to him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
