What a difference Hellmuth Makes - Page 2

Yes he's a little annoying. But thats part of what makes him intetresting to watch and to listen to. To see what he will say next. And his analysis is much better than anyone doing it now.

What turned me into a Hellmuth fan, really, was the fact he took so much time out of his personal life to contribute to the CardPlayer final table radio broadcast into the wee, wee hours of the morning. And keep in mind, that morning was his birthday. And he's giving a really enjoyable final table broadcast. That says things.

I also totally agree with his opinion on why it would be silly to play Negreanu HU for any large sum of money.

Phil is by far the best commentator I've heard, so I think your wrong. He really brought the audio commentary of the WSOP ME to life, and his commentating is very in depth and intelligent. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Being annyoing is in way interesting to me. It is, as it turns out, actually just annoying. If i want to watch someone be arrogant and obonxious i'll just turn on Real World or something. And i don't think his analysis was anywhere near as good as Lindgren.

I wasn't referring to lindgren or anyone from the audio at the wsop. I didn't catch much of the broadcast. I was referring to all the guys on tv.

Well i don't necessarily agree it was so nice of him to take time out of his busy schedule. I think Phil is thinking business and wants to broadcast one day maybe. And keep his name in the limelight and well known to sell books and other such things.

Btw what did he say about playing the HU matches against daniel? Does he think he plays better than daniel? And why did he say it was silly? Thanks for your response.

I didn't here the broadcast but bet lindgren is a better player than Phil H and probably much more insightful than Phil. But i also bet it would be more fun listening to hellmuth each week to see what he says and does. Lindgren is a more of a meat and potatoes guy.

That commerical is funny the first 2 times..but it's on EVERY commercial break...ahh

???? are you referring to a comercial if so which? Or are you trying to be sarcastic in response to my saying Eric L. is probably a better player than Phil H. If the latter go ask Daniel N. who the better player is.
