Is Fillmouth, Helmuth or Phillips?

I just watched the Bill Fillmouth video Swimming with Sharks three. I don't know about smoothcall but I admit that I am an imbecile when it comes to these things. First let me say that whoever hired the clown to play Filmuth is a lousy judge of talent. They would have done better to get Matasow to star in it. This kid is a real loser. I can't believe someone would pay good money to get this idiot on film. But that's not the point of this post. I don't get it. Who is he trying to portray? He sounds like Helmuth with all of the whining. O.K maybe they didn't do so bad a job at casting. This kid is a whiner "par excellance". He has the perfect high pitch baby voice needed to portray a poker playing cry baby. But I still have a problem with the character. Sure he whines like Helmuth but he plays pool like Phillips plays poker. Mostly luck, little if any skill. Can anyone help me with this. I am perplexed!

Thanks in advance.

It is obviously Hellmuth. He throws in a couple lines at other pros too. The kid is hilarious. End of story.

But would Hellmuth know about Vince/Smoothcall?

Did you do the casting? Remind me not to hire you for The "Comedy" channel.

a LOT of people play poker like that, why would you think they were specifically targeting Mr. Phillips?

No. He's attempting to do a caricature. I am not sure whether it is Phillips or Helmuth or Matasow or et al. I don't think that the dumbo that wrote it up knows either. He appears to have had nothing better to do so he did....whatever.

That's because you have a pretty low mental capacity. All the tantrums, the hands waving, the hands on the chin... it is extremely obvious. Like I said he throws in tidbits from other plaers (the tiny balls Matusow comment) but it's 90% Hellmuth.
