To all you people with Jopke hats:
Don't you realize that you are actually going to be doing a service for Hellmuth by wearing these things at televised events? If ESPN actually decides to give your hats air-time they are naturally going to give Hellmuth extra air time which will only add to his fame.
People outside of the poker community watching this event on television will probably assume that you are all fans of Hellmuth and won't realize that you are actually mocking his stupidity. Hellmuth has built his fame by abusing his poor attitude, and you guys are only contributing to it. While the idea of wearing these hats is essentially funny, you should at least realize the favor you are doing for Hellmuth if you decide to go ahead and wear these.

Re: To all you people with Jopke hats:
Come on dude. Are you going to have me believe that there are people actually lame enough to really where something like that?
Whatever I'm not falling for it.

Re: To all you people with Jopke hats:
I could care less if it helps him. The hat and phrase are hilarious. I love it.
I love Hellmuth. Sure, he's a total baby. But he's fun as hell to watch. The vast majority of posters on this board will be more interested to tune in to a WPT episode with him at the final table--even if they hate him. Besides, there's a little Hellmuth in all of us. You know you hate the donkey who calls your reraise with JT when you have JJ, only to subsequently flop a T on the flop and one on the turn. What a jopke!

It establishes both snide humour and Phil's essential hypocrisy: although he can and likely will claim to the world that we mock him because he's a star, we know we mock him because he's a self-important boob. In his heart of hearts, Phil knows better. If he does not, he's even more of a boob than we thought, and thus even more deserving of our mockery.

Phil has built his fame by WINNING NINE BRACELETS. [ QUOTE ] While the idea of wearing these hats is essentially funny [/ QUOTE ] I for one will laugh every moment I realize I'm wearing one.

It's just a little barb. What makes the thing what it is is the "inside-ness" of it, the actual mechanics of it (the chat box WAS actually funny), and the idea that a bunch of people would take part in something so ostensibly inane. It's funny. Lighten up--it's all in good fun.
