9 bracelets

[Tuco]

Not for nothing, cause I really don't care much, but counting someones bracelets is like comparing how many lifetime hole-in-ones they have. If I play golf more than you, I'm going to make a one WAY more often.

I have no idea why PH is so fixated on how many WSOP titles he has. The fact that he plays almost every event I guess is lost on him. I would like to think that If I, or any one of us here, played every event that we would have some number of championships close to PH's. Maybe more, maybe less.

Now, wins/# of events played lifetime is a much better stat.

Well, lets say for sake of argument that they play 200 WSOP tournaments in 10 years. This is a very small sample statistically, where even the best player could win zero over such a short period.

I'm no Hellmuth fan, but...

wouldn't YOU?

I'd be damned proud if I had 9 bracelets. If anyone wanted to try to invalidate the accomplishment, I'd tell them that they were entitled to their opinion but that NANANANANA, I'VE GOT NINE BRACELETS AND YOU'VE GOT NONE!!! NANANANANNA!!

Then I'd run across the room and hug my mom.

If this is true doesn't it make PH accomplishment that much more impressive?

Put the style aside, I wish I made as much as Helmuth does playing tournaments. Because people don't like his style that means he must suck and whenever he wins something it's a fluke.

When I bring my possum into the room I get this. People think I'm a fool because of my critters. But the problem I have that Helmuth don't is that when people peg my as a goof they are right.

So, following your thinking, the Yankees only won 26 World Series because they played in so many of them.

What's wrong with pride in accomplishment?

To quote Dizzy Dean - "It ain't braggin' if you can do it."

Mark my words. They will never win another.

D-backs and Marlins forever! Woo-hoo!
