I think almost everything Phil does on TV and writes is used to generate ink and feed his supersized ego. He doesn't care about being despised by the world, he eats it up.

I know slickpoppa said it was KQo, but the article says KQs.

My b on that. So he's more like a 3-3.4:1 dog depending on whether the ace or one of the nines is the same suit as the KQ. Nevertheless, he is nowhere near a 2.5:1 dog as Hellmuth suggests. My main point was that Hellmuth made a justification for the call based on a heads up analysis.
