I like Phil Hellmuth
He seems like much less of a douche this year. Like someone you might actually want to spend some time at a table with. In his honor, I've updated my avatar.

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
I totally hate that guy this year. His beratement of the last guy drove me nuts. He needs to get a little dignity going, maybe a hot run.

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
what up?
That was terrible what happened. How does a guy call for all his chips with a KJ?! That was an awful call and he deserved to be berated. |
Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
Comic gold! (Not to mention tension, drama and a pretty good lesson on folding). That was the best WSOP episode this year by far, IMHO.

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
x-posted to this thread since this is where we're talking about our favorite douche-bag:
I don't know if I've ever seen anyone talk back to him very much though. I would really expect someone to respond to him with a good ol' "hey Phil. You're a jack-ass." And I know that I would be very tempted to do just this if Phil ranted on and on about some hand that I played against him. Why do his opponents seem to just let him go on and on without ever telling him that he's being a prick? |
Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
If I were the KJ guy, I'd put half my chips in one pile and every time I called I'd say:
"I call with Phil's chips." |

[/ QUOTE ] Nothing against you at all, I just hate it when people say pairs are automatically 'better' than AK or other unpaired premium holdings. It's a favorite to win an all in against it, yes. Is it a better hand? Hell no. Would you call an all in with AK or 22? AK almost all the time, 22 almost never. Phil did take some brutal beats and berated the guy more than he should have, but they are donkeys. I'm sure you all get pissed when you take a bad beat at home and are thinking to yourself "How does that *$%#&$ call off his stack with KJ!?" Get over yourselves. |

I know he wants to get the guy allin.... but you can commit less chips so if another player reraises him he can lay down. |

Someday, Phil will realize that luck does play a part in poker. I still don't think he actually realizes this concept.

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
the KJ guy was a major prick. gotta love how steamed he was when 99 went all-in and he called with JTs (what?!), flopped the straight, lost to full house, and was obviously enraged over his supposed bad beat. as phil pointed out, 99 had the best of it when the money was in.
then the guy hits a 3-outer on the river to beat phil when he was a monster favorite, phil goes off, and the guy calls him a crybaby. wow. seems hypocritical to me. |
Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
I LOVE PHIL.. hes the biggest c0ck you could possibly imagine when it comes to respecting other peoples style of play... besides.. he should realize that the reason he wins so much is that he plays better than most and most of the time he loses on a bad beat.. its quite simple.. im surprised he hasn't figured it out.. or at least adjusted his attitude.. like i remember reading somewhere.. "dont keep knocking on the fish bowl" or something

[/ QUOTE ] Speaking of hypocritical, I love how Phil pointed out to the guy that it wasn't a bad beat because 99 was a favorite over JT, but then whined about it when his AQ got busted by 77. But yeah, that guy calling Phil a crybaby like 5 minutes after his own little tantrum was classic. |

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
I loved the one where he called the turn and river with JT (pair of tens) with two aces on the board and the other guy had jacks.
"You bet the turn and the river?!" "You bet the turn and the river!!" He called with a worse hand on the turn and the river. If he thought the other guy could only bet with an ace in his hand....well...oh, I like Phil just because I'd like to be at a table of his someday. |
Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
All I know is that I really wanted to throw something at the screen all night.
How can you be mad at the KJ guy... who by the way ISNT A PROFESSIONAL for being hypocritical when phil points out the 5% edge on 99-JTs, and then whine to his (psychologist..classic) wife abuot the same edge later? I mean, Im still pondering how he got his bracelets... I know I came on the poker scene after he got most of them (2002) but I havent yet seen him play world class poker. |

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
when phil straight up called the guy a donkey, it was one of the greatest moments in TV history
remember, donkeys alwasy draw kids |

Re: I like Phil Hellmuth
That guy Phil reraised had called another allin with frigging JTs, and didn't understand why it wasn't a bad beat. If Phil's truly a player who thinks he can outplay anyone, why not wait for a flop instead of letting this obvious moron push you into at best a 75-25 all in for most of your chips?
The AK fold to me seemed more like weak play that turned out right. And even if it was a read, that old man was super confident and chatty with Phil during the decision. Big deal. Oh, and checking in the dark over and over is stupid. |
