i hope this is a leveling thread, he isnt even in the top 1000 best cash game players, probably not the top 15,000. So he is nowhere near the best NLHE player, you could say that he is one of the top live NLHE tourney players of all time, he beats weak fields and plays all tournies.

hahaha...this is good stuff.

I think over 100 top pros were in Event 15 with him.

It doesn't matter that 100 good players were in Event 15. There were 2400 complete [censored] donkeys. I played in it. It was an amazingly soft field. I played with 30-40 different players, and I only played with one decent player other than myself, and I am nowhere near Phil's skill level. Why do people keep saying this stuff.

Okay. All the players are donkeys in these tournaments that Phil has won. If there was even one pro in those fields, why did that pro (or all the other pros for that matter) take advantage and beat the donkeys to the tune of eleven bracelets. There was/is nothing stopping Negreau, for instance, or any other name pro from winning eleven bracelets so why have they not done so?

They're working on it?

Or luck? Someone has to run the hottest, you know. You make it sound like its impossible that a marginally better player could win less bracelets than a marginally worse player. Asked a different way, what do you think Hellmuths true expectation in bracelets is, over his career thus far? You think its more or less than 11?
