Heights of Poker Players?
 

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 ???
Erik Seidel ???
Huck Seed ???
TJ Cloutier ???
Howard Lederer???

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.

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

Hellmuth and Seed are about 6-5 each, Seidel a little shorter, maybe 6-4. Lederer about 6-2. Cloutier maybe 6-1?

Though when you meet them, Cloutier looks the biggest. He's just a monster.

Lederer is minimum 6'4", while All In lists Hellmuth at 6'6"

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

Chau Giang is really really small. Probably 5'4" or 5'5". Farha s pretty short also alog with Fisjman neither are over 5'7".

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

I always thought Seidel was a small guy until one of the shots of him (probably getting busted) at the WSOP this year showed him towering over everyone. That guy's huge!

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

howard is huge. pretty close to phils height i think..

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

What about Brunson? He was a basketball player, thought he might be quite tall.

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.

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

How tall are the following players:

Evelyn Ng
Daniel Negreanu
Gus Hansen
Phil Laak
Jen Harmon (5'2 is that correct?)
Chip Reese (I saw Evelyn Ng interview him after he busted out of the Poker Superstars Invitational and she towered over him)

Jen Harmon (5'2 is that correct?)- correct
Chip Reese (I saw Evelyn Ng interview him after he busted out of the Poker Superstars Invitational and she towered over him) - 5'7"

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

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

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

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

Re: Heights of Poker Players?
 

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.

I've heard 5'2" for her, though I don't think it would be pushing it to peg her south of 5'.

Hell, no. Hellmuth is 6'4 at least. Maybe 6'6 or even 6'8.

This would be hard to believe. It's very uncommon for a white adult female to be shorter than 5'0" (unless of course she's a "little person").

You see some asian girls that are smaller than 5'0" but even that is very rare. I went to college with an Asian girl who was SO SMALL and even she was 4'11". She put her hand up to mine and her fingers only extended to my first knuckles on my fingers.

Harman is probably no shorter than 5'1".

I am 6'2 and Phil Ivey walked right past be once at the Bellagio at like 6 a.m. last December and Ivey was taller than me.

Dunno about Canadian ball, but I read that he played college ball for Cal (I think), including the 1959 Rose Bowl.

In case anybody cares, I'm 6'0", 320, and between meals, so I can't stick around long.
