[Whitewash]

Gobbo, didn't you ever hear the phrase "don't try playing Beethoven to a cow"?

The last 5 pages of this thread have been:
1) Gobbo saying internet players are the best tourney players and they "crush and destroy" everyone else
2) Me posting WSOP results showing how his internet buddies do not "crush" and "destroy" Hellmuth, that, in the world of FACT, Hellmuth is way ahead of them.
3) Other people posting to say Hellmuth is the best tourney player.
4) Other internet guys making condescending comments that Gobbo is so smart that we cant understand his brilliant statements.

Isn't making fun of gobbo's weight getting old by now?

In all seriousness gobbo, you're wrong. At least you are for now. We don't know how good these young guys will be when they're decades into their poker career (assuming they stick with it). But as of now, Hellmuth is the best.

Well, I would disagree. There you go. I'm done with this thread.

I've won more tourneys than Phill Hellmuth fwiw.

[Turn Prophet]

Cue 7 more pages of "zOMG Thay3r is the best" vs "psh Thay3r has played way more tournies than Phil he doesn't destroy Hellmuth lol."

"The best" is an irrelevant distinction in my mind when luck plays so crucial a role. As long as your results are satisfactory, I would think that would be the deciding factor... because I don't see any system we could possibly all agree on to choose "the best."

I can win more tournaments than Phil too.

That's all I have to say, time to multitable $1 sit-n-goes.
