Wait until Hellmuth is 75 or whatever Brunson is and people will love him too.

Like they love Amarillo Slim.

[/ QUOTE ]ridiculous analogy

Why? Amarillo Slim is old, but still has a bad reputation; in fact his reputation has gotten worse in his old age due to angle shooting and child molestation. No reason to think Helmuth will be respected like Brunson.

Woah! Woah! Woah! What's this about angle shooting?

[/ QUOTE ]

Amarillo Slim won a HU tournament in Europe after he survived a hand where his opponent said "allin" on the flop, Slim said "let's roll", Slim showed top pair, and his opponent showed top set. Slim convinced the TD that "let's roll" meant let's play the next hand.

Rumor is Slim had pulled crap like that before. He obviously is sort of a sleazy hustler type, but it is a little surprising he would try that sort of thing being from an era when players carried guns.
