Re: exactly how bad IS phil hellmuth?
lol @ gobo saying he understands poker better than Phil. Are you talking about NLHE MTT poker? or general poker (like HORSE). I honestly think Phil Hell has a much better understanding of the MTT NLHE game.
Most of my critiques about Phil Hell are somewhat jokes, (sometimes not). I have no doubt in my mind that he would be better than gobbo in a live WSOP structured NLHE MTT over the long run. Why? sample size. Internet pros bring up hands played over and over; IMO, there are significant differences btwn online and live MTTs. And Phil Hell has alot more hands in the WSOP setting than most Internet pros.
BTW, I am not picking a fight w/ you. You obv are a great player, and by the time you Phill's age, you may be one hell of a player. But I think saying your better than Phil when you have gone deep once in a a WSOP style environment if foolish.
