First, I'm glad to see the Fossilman stepping up and saying something about the loose post earlier AND glad to see that Seth stood up and apologized. Greg is right, posts like those..even though intended sarcastic and funny can do real unjust damage to a players character. BTW, Money has lost some weight since the '03 WSOP, but he just looks healthy...not skinny at all IMOP.

Thanks fellas

Im 5'8, when Harman got up from the big game to go the bathroom she was so small. I don't think her head even approached my shoulder, same for Chau Giang. Tuan Le and Hassan Habib are small too

Keep in mind that people tend to overstate their height too. I'm not calling anybody's suggestions here into question, it's just that it's very common - even among television celebrities, etc. My general rule is that whenever anybody says how tall they are, you can knock it down 1-2 inches pretty safely, and be accurate.

OK, so maybe TJ Cloutier is only 5'9" instead of 5'11"? and Hellmuth is 5'11" instead of 6'1"???

Sounds accurate to me.

How tall is the average 2+2 poster? I am 6'5" I assume anyone under 6' is short and needs to watch out for my elbows when I turn around.

There was already a post like this in OOT in the last couple months. Look for it. I echo your sentiments, right down to the exact dimensions.
