Is this Phil H whining again?

[Easy E]

Is it just me, or should I get Phil a crying towel?

Easy E,

You need to show some class when you post about Hellmuth.

What an awful article. WTF is he thinking to write that? The funniest was the line that went, "then he gave Doyle 150000." Here's a pro complaining that a guy gave money to a better player? Huh? He would not have complained if the money found its way to his stack I think. What Phil did is a lot worse than just crying. He needlessly called these guys out. Not exactly what you want if your goal is to improve poker and promote tournamnets bla bla bla

Yes, he's a jerk.

Why doesn't Phil talk about the hand in an Omaha final table at the WSOP where he bet the wrong end of a straight draw and knocked Men out of the hand and he ended up losing to K-high? His friend Andy Glazer even reported it as a bad play.

he's an idiot. one of the most overrated players ever. actually thinks a tournament has a long run. yet he plays just as bad at times. the mope. i love to hear him whine and table coach at the table. he still is trying to find out how he almost went broke a little while back. my respect for tourney players grows.... yeah right! hahaha

will he ever come off his pedestal? doubt it.

check the other responses out.
Phil is the former world champ and poker "pro"- he should ACT like one.

His attitude drives me CRAZY! Sorry, but it really rubs me the wrong way.

I think Phil need to grow up.... and so do many others.

Did you read the article? And you had no problems with Phil using his position at CP to complain about the play of others?

You mean like raising with 32o, Phil??

Seems to me Phil is just trying to manipulate those particular opponents before the WSOP Championship event. This championship means more than anything to him. And he doesn't want three dangerously wild players screwing up his chances. He figures if he throws them off their game, they'll be playing his game which he's much better at.

Talk about sour grapes......

Gotta give him credit, maybe not as much as he would like, he's at these final tables consistently and he won a bracelet this year.

The funniest thing about that article to me was his line "At my table in the WPT Championship, I saw Alan Goehring make it $5,000 to go and then call my $15,000 bet — a $10,000 raise — with the 7 4 without so much as a blink of the eye. It turned out that I was bluffing with the 8 7"

Of course you are bluffing Phil, especially if you have position. I mean if you're at a table with Phil H and he raises from the button I would have a hard time giving that raise any credit after watching the way he plays. This WPT may be the worst thing for a guy like Phil H. He may want to write an article about that as opposed to whinning. To me at least it makes him come off as a worse player than he is.

He does have some of the best results of any poker players out there. It certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see him at the final table in the big game.
