Re: Phil Helmuth disrespect
[ QUOTE ]
Phil Hellmuth builds his image so that he can make more money.
He can f-ing deal with the cons of making an ass of himself at the table. I don't feel sorry for him.

Well, he just doesn't work on getting better about berating opponents because he thinks it makes him even MORE visible and marketable, but I think he has likely hit a mass density of recognition he can get from being an ass, and to an extent has realized it, and really tries hard to be better but now can't help it. Seeing him on the WPT bad Boys 2, you almost felt sorry for all the chit they were giving him, also on High stakes poker. I'm sure he hates being known as King of the tourney donks, and wants to be recognized as not only a great poker player overall, but a great human being too.
He has not only made his bed, but he has also capitalized heavily on it, so whatever comes with it, IMHO, he deserves.
