Phil Hellmuth: \"No!\"
First of all, I hate him.
Second of all, does anyone see the irony of him going to all these lengths to get his opponent to call by acting weak ("I imagined my cards were 4-3" which is ALSO ironic since I recall him blowing up late in a tournament and bluffing off most of his chips with this hand against someone's AT when an A hit), and then he flips out that he gets a call and loses. And he writes this all in the same article. Someone needs to hit him. Too rich |

Re: Phil Hellmuth: \"No!\"
I think fish read his dribble for the same reason housewives, unemployed people and college student watch soap operas--to feel better about themselves.
As long as people read his articles, they will be printed. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: Phil Hellmuth: \"No!\"
I think Phil should start making some big game endeavours.
That would be fun for me to read. Things like how he lost a big pot to a suckout, to say, Gus Hanson. Then steamed for 5 more hours and lost 2 million dollars, some to Ivey and some to Greenstein, people who actually know that suckouts happen and deal with it. One can dream, right? If Hellmuth had been beaten by a two outer, one away from the final table in 2003, he might have just crapped himself and passed out, only after screaming "You are going to hell for that, Moneymaker!" Ivey just shrugged, went off, and probably made back his buy in and then some beating up all the other steaming tourney players. |

Re: Phil Hellmuth: \"No!\"
The one thing about Hellmuth is he knows his weaknesses...and accordingly doesnt sit in the largest games in the world where he can do serious damage to his roll by steaming like a madman. Actually he is probably richer now than ever with his books raking in tremendous sales and a lucrative partnership with UB and DVDs...love him or hate him he is a fairly shrewd businessman from what I can see and seems to manage his money quite capriciously .

[/ QUOTE ] not to get picky, ok wait, I'll be honest, I am getting picky, but Moneymaker had 7 outs on that hand against Ivey. Still point taken... |

[/ QUOTE ] Ivey's the one who hit the two outer.. moneymaker then hit a re-suck but with more outs. Hellmuth DID lose to a two-outer very late in that tourney to Jason Lester. It didn't elimiante him but crippled his stack, he went out soon after. |
