Who are the dumbest poker professionals?

I saw Laak openly verbalizing several of his decisions in front of Chan while heads up last year at WSOP. Ok, it wasn't an earth shattering discourse but nonetheless, I still haven't figured out what part of verbalizing his decision in front of the 9(now ten) time world champion he thought would help him. Um, I'm going to cover my face but tell you what i'm thinking.

Phil Hellmuth shows an amazing lack of understanding of basic poker theory in many of his rants, but it's hard to call him dumb when he's crafted an incredibly marketable image.

On what basis are you people name checking Moneymaker?

Are we really still perpetuating the myth that he played badly in his WSOP win?

Laak is really smart just because he doesn't have a Howard Lederer like demeanor does not make him dumb. he's just a little laid back if ya follow there is genius to be deciphered from what he says. you just have to actually listen

what else ya got?

Moneymaker may not be an amazing poker player, but he can't be a complete [censored]- wasn't he an accountant before he won the ME?

I think Matusow is the dumbest, in an interview he said something along the lines of: "In a 50/50 situation, would you rather have the made hand or the draw?".

T.J. Cloutier was a very good football player - High School Football Coach.
Moneymaker was an accountant - Night manager at Denny's.
Those are my two dumbdest, but I still see them finding employment.

Cloutier went to UC Berkeley for a while. That doesn't make him a genius, but you don't find a whole lot of people that are genuinely dumb there.

I don't know if he is dumb or not, but Phil Laak sounds like he has been dropping acid for the last 10 years.

most borderline geniuses speak like that...cut the guy a little slack.

btw-little acid never heard anyone

A lot of acid can make people eccentric, but certainly not dumb.
