Default Hellmuth gets no respect in club pot limit game

Phil Hellmuth has visited a NYC Card room several times following tourney's at FW. On his most recent visit, several players and dealers report, he lost a hand to a regular. This player is well known for his over the top insults and coffeehousing after he wins a hand. As Phil got up to leave the table, the player screamed after him "Come back and I'll open you up like an clam." I'm sure Hellmuth could care --but I thought it was very funny. Kind of like a high school kid hitting a jumper in a pick up game with Kobe and talking trash....

What if LeBron James talked trash to Kobe last year while LeBron still attended high school?

Bad analogy. Just because Helmuth plays in big buy in tournamants it doesnt mean players from the underground clubs have less skill than him. They probably on average do have more skills.

Can't agree. Hellmuth may be a mediocre limit player, but his tournament record is siimply too good to dismiss. You're right about Lebron, though. He can talk all the trash he wants.

You didnt say anything about a tournament. You mentioned a pot limit game. I dont think you can compare the two.

Daryn you seem to be hung up on numbers of bracelets. Well I can own a dozen just by going to the pawn shop across from Binions. What does that tell you about the value of a WSOP bracelet? Now money, that has value and it will buy or win all the bracelets you want.

the key about having the bracelet is earning it by winning. i can go out and buy a trophy and even engrave it to say something like "world spelling bee champion", but i'm not the champ.. some indian home schooled kid with a speech impediment is.

are you really going to try to argue with wakeupcall? You'd be better off trying to argue Stu Ungar with Ryan_21.
