Phil Helmuth disrespect

[betgo]

That's horrible! I can't see why Hellmuth isn't treated with as much respect as Brunson.

Hellmuth invites the disrespect deliberately with the image he cultivates. I'm sure he understands that.

What he does is very similar to a WWF verbal stunt.

I have sat with people who have sat with him. I won't give direct quotes, but he is not well liked.

Perhaps you need corrective lenses, then.

Hellmuth apologists know full-well that there is no excuse for the childish displays he puts on at the table. No one doubts his talent, but there's a difference between being a class-act winner (Doyle) and a complete brat (Phil).

When did poker become Golf? It is a "social" game and by its nature lends itself to banter. Phil's reactions are genuine...NOT AN ACT TO MARKET HIMSELF. The additional attention is concomitant to his personality. "Chatty Kathy" Negreanu irks me more than Phil, but I still like to watch him play. The Doyle Brunsons can abide the Phil Hellmuths, the Jennifer Tillys can win bracelets, the homeless can get called with "jack high", the master can spit beer, the internet donk can usurp the seasoned pro, and all is RIGHT in the beautiful world of Poker!
