Re: Hellmuth Crushing at the WSOP
It's completely ridiculous because the exact opposite is true. Phil won his 9 bracelets when pros vastly outnumbered amatuers at the WSOP. He was the national heads up champion against an all elite field and has done well at various tournament of champion and invitational events with all superstars. He has struggled if anything with the weaker fields because his reads are not spot on with bad players, especially bad hyper aggressive players who are a post moneymaker incarnation. Coming to terms with that plus variance evening out for him is responsible for his good run this year.
He went on monster tilt on HSP after getting cold decked on the QQ - KQ hand. How would you feel if someone took footage of you having a bad night and used it to dismiss everything you ever have achieved and are ever going to achieve? I don't think there's a player in the game that would do well on a night where barry greenstein was cold decking them.
