I'd like to know how tall some of these guys are. It's hard to tell on TV.

Phil Gordon 6'9"
Phil Hellmuth ??? about 6' 1"
Erik Seidel ??? about 6' 5"
Huck Seed ???
TJ Cloutier ??? about 5' 11"
Howard Lederer??? about 6' 4"

I'm pretty sure Gordon is the tallest of the notable players at 6'9". But a lot of these guys look like giants on TV.

Can anyone fill in the blanks here? Also, if you know the verified height of super short players please divulge. I know Fischmann, Chan, Men the Master are all very short.

Fischmann = about 5' 2"
Chan = about 5' 7"
Men = about 5' 7"

TJ Cloutier is not 5'11" ! lol. The guy is probably 6'5"!

And Hellmuth 6'1"?! lol.

I never stood next to Hellmuth, so its a total guess. He didn't seem that big. I guess he is bigger. I walked by Cloutier, and don't remember thinking he was that big, so thats where that came from. I forgot he used to play football. He's prolly a bit bigger.

Weren't the oompa loompas (at least in the original movie) short, round and orange?

You can actually get on the way to that skin tone by eating a lot of beta-carotene, btw... You will not suffer from vitamin A overdose doing so either...

Now this seems more like the kind of attack that deserves a suspension, as opposed to blatantly saying somebody sucks at poker. Here, it is worded in a way that not only says Chris is doing cocaine, but putting it out there as if it is a given. Somebody new around here or new to poker might see this and think it is a well-known fact that Chris abuses cocaine even though the exact opposite is true, i.e., it is absolutely not well known, and I personally think it is unlikely.

I thought about what I said and I apologize, it was in poor taste. I was being sarcastic at the time but realize my words are meaningful and hurtful.

I respect what you guys do, and I love this forum.
