Perkins didn’t do anything wrong, Hellmuth’s read was perfect. That said, it’s very surprising he called it to a loose cannon after putting him on his exact hand. Great for Fishman. Also, having the discipline to fold AA and KK after getting where he needed to be is crazy. The devil was tempting him hard.

There's no way any school teacher in the world would be making anywhere near the amount the top poker players in the world are making with their 'loads of money.' That's the meaning behind the emphasis of "He's a school teacher."

That is not restraint, that is called being a bad poker player. I suppose it could be seen as restraint in terms of he is aware he is a bad player and knows he does not know how to play pocket AA or pocket KK. I didn't see the Kings( his play was just too terrible to keep watching) so idk the situation but the AA fold was just flat out bad. His goal should be to get all his chips in the middle with a call from 1 person. That is always your goal with AA preflop if anyone else is acting aggressive. You are currently winning and getting the most chips in when you are CURRENTLY winning is all that matters in poker. Tournament structure changes that slightly but its extremely slightly. Hos fold was a shitty fold and acting like it was a good move is equal to someone pushing all in with 7 2 offset against AA and sucking out for the win. Its a bad play regardless if you won that single hand because single hands are meaningless. A mathematician should by all means know all this as its trivial poker theory so it stands to reason he is just a bad player, likely due to fear. He folded AA because he was early and simply does not know how to play it. Preflop folding AA is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER WVWR the right move lol.. ever!
