My take on this thread
 

I believe we see 3 different kind of pros on the TV screen:
1. The no acts
2. The honest
3. The actors

Greg is often referred to as a class act. What he really is is a no act. I have no idea if I like the guy - what I've seen this far tells me nothing about him.

Matusow is honest. He offers me his true self. Even if I dislike a lot of the things he says and does, I like the guy. Just for having the guts to be himself.

Phil Hellmuth is an actor. His behavior is well thought over on beforehand, and eveything he does he does for a reason. To create an image that will result in $. For that I dislike him. But I love watching him, cos he makes me laugh.

FWIW

I think this is a dead on analysis, I think much the same way you do.
