Damn he is one big conspiricy theorist, who thinks he knows everything.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know my opinion about Hellmuth and I believe it is more accurate than yours. How that translates into me believing in a big conspiracy and my thinking I know everything is beyond me. I know what I know.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh well maybe one day you will be as good as Phil, atually I shouldn't be giving you false hopes like that sorry.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you actually read what I post before you reply?

I have no real hopes to be any good at poker. It's just not important. I have no hopes to emulate or compete with hellmuth. I would consider it pretty sad if that was the aim of my life.

[ QUOTE ]
Also are you saying you woudln't take the endorsement and books deals?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course I would take them. I have no problem with him taking them. More power to him. He earnt and deserved them. I wish him every success. But what's that got to do with his ability in cash games?

[ QUOTE ]
I think it shows how smart he really is and how to collect even more money. Phil is one of the best players in the world, stop trying to deny that!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol. OK. You're definitely a WUM.

[FishHooks]

What is a WUM is that a one of your nerdy online terms, like pnwed? Also your the one who braught up the edorsement deals not I. If you dont have any aspiriations as being good at poker why do you read this forum? Or do you just have nothing better to do?

#1 tournament money winner?
That is not currently true.

If we were looking for overall tournament cashes, that would be Cloutier or someone else. For WSOP money winner, its Raymer.

[FishHooks]

Allthought Raymer won one big one, i bet Jonny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, and some of the other pros like maybe Harrington have won more money, becausethey play more than just the main event. I dont think Raymer has won the most in the WSOP

Yes, he has. He won $5 million. #2 on the all-time list is like $3 million i think.

Phil was and still is a great tournament player. Only he and Doyle Brunson have 9 WSOP bracelets, everyone else has fewer. Also, Phil just won NBC's Heads-Up tournament against some tough competition last month.

GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT...

Actually Johnny Chan has also won 9 bracelets... and an interesting thing to note is that all of Phil's come from Hold'em while both Doyle and Johnny have won theirs in a variety of games... take what you want from that...

Also, there at least 3 people who have won 3 bracelets in a single year, and neither Doyle, Phil or Johnny have accomplished that! They are Pug Pearson, Ted Forrest and Phil Ivey.

Also, determing skill by how much money you have won is not a very accurate measure. Greg Raymer won a single tournament and has more in WSOP tournament earnings than both Johnny and Phil by aroun 1.5 million... Which isn't to say Greg Raymer isn't a great player, but winning 9 bracelets is a completely different ball game than winning a single main event.

so was i

[FishHooks]

i guarantee there has been someoen that has made more than 3 million, because there are like 21 events. I believe Phil has won nine bracelets, he easily has to be over 3 million.
