Phil Hellmuth plays too tight to win heads-up. He limps buttons and folds also numerous pairs, both poor plays in this format of poker. Or, at least that’s what pros such as Daniel Negreanu, Doug Polk, and other individuals say.

Against a tight player that is often only raising with their premium made hands you should lean towards a fold in this particular spot. Phil Hellmuth Breaks WSOP Single Series Final Table Record. Given the action, it is likely Hellmuth would only raise if he knew he had Owen’s range already dominated.
But Phil Hellmuth has quite a tight range in this spot vs Doug Polk. Also consider that Polk had to risk $90,000 to possibly win $200,000, that’s less than 2:1. In fact he would need to have 45% equity to make this call.
Weak-tight is completely wrong in a format like HSP where there are antes preflop and the field is maniacally aggressive. Unless you can very cannily rope-a-dope, as Barry Greenstein has mastered, you will be eaten alive. I know I'd be eaten alive by that field. Phil Hellmuth doesn't seem to realize he has no chance.

Hellmuth is known to play a bit tight. Tight players generally get good hands cracked because that’s almost all they play. Hellmuth has also won over $20 million playing live tournaments so it’s tough to call anyone with those kind of results “unlucky”.
Phil Hellmuth plays a very loose agressive strategy in touranments, that contrasts heavily with tight players such as Harrington and Negreanu. A LAG approach includes raising more from early position, limping into pots with more hands, and re-raising/stealing pots more. The biggest reason Phil claims he win wins so many tournaments however is …

Phil Hellmuth won his last WSOP bracelet back in 2018 and is keen on winning his 16 th bracelet at the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) which started on Sep 30 at the Rio in Las Vegas. Hellmuth has had a good run during the first 10 days of the competition as he has cashed out on three occasions, making it to two final tables.
Hellmuth (162,000) three-bet to 4,800 with a mystery hand (for now at least), and action was back on Negreanu. He should usually just opt to call when facing a three-bet from Hellmuth, but instead …
Nick Wright put up a fight against Phil Hellmuth in Wednesday’s High Stakes Duel III match, but the cards just weren’t on his side.
