Why David Doesn\'t Mention His WSOP Wins
He doesn't think they're very important. They took place a long time ago, in obscure, low money events. The only tourney wins that matter to Ma & Pa Iowa are the WSOP biggies, and the WPT's. I wonder if he even has the bracelets anymore, if they got them back then.
DS is also a bit contemptuous of the high luck factor in tourneys. David has a lot of flaws but insecurity about his poker skills isn't among them. Hellmuth's bleating about being a "nine time World Champion" is just pathetic, although there's more than a little marketing to go along with the ego.
David prolly could get some mileage out of putting "has won three WSOP tournaments" in his bio blurbs, but then he'd have the tiresome task of explaining what those events were.
David's only interested in winning the biggie or the WPT biggie, although he does enter other events. There'd be some media coverage and increased book sales for ye! [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
