I wonder how much attention Paul would be getting if he had been born 10 years earlier and missed out on the Internet Stock Lottery. What did he accomplish to make his money? What has he really accomplished in Poker? He's our Paris Hilton.

I think this going to far. Paul obviously is very intelligent and from what little I know of him probably has an excellent work ethic.

I would not categorise his business or poker success as attributable only to luck.

My problem with Paul, is that he excoriates people for acting like arrogant asses, while at the same time acting like an arrogant ass himself.

For instance I can think of at least two instances on what little televised poker I have watched, where Paul has came off as a bigger ass than either Helmuth or Druff. Yet, paul will explain these things away... where he will not grant that same luxury to others.
