It's really embarassing how few posters realized the sarcastic nature of this post

How many missed it, at least eight?

Talk about poor reads.

Phil will tell you exactly what you hold by the flop, if not earlier. Phil may be annoying, but he will beat you.

Foxwoodsfiedn was the only one who understood this as a joke post. It is truly a shame that in order for my posts to receive any collection of responses, it must be a gossip post about some poker pro. Not a single one of my theory threads has ever received this many reads and responses. Of course, most of the posts here were antagonistic of me, as they should be, but some of them further degraded Phil Hellmuth, or defended him without any real knowledge of what they were talking about. Of course, someone once again brought up his accomplishments in defense of his play. Arguments were made with no more backing than mere speculation. The post by Russianbear was truly a debacle. I'm convinced some 2+2ers don't even read the information on the hold'em forums; they just waste their time here thinking up new reasons why their favorite pro is the greatest.

Kudos 2+2... kudos.

Doesn't the fact that we're watching him on tv indicate that he's made the final table of a tournament, and doesn't that suggest that he does have success against current players, internet aggressors included?

If you're refering to TOC, Helmuth's whining aside, he didn't enjoy the same luck as Matasow and Corkins when he (Helmuth) was short-stacked.

His lack of poker bracelets and victories in the last two years is proof of his overating

While I am no fan of Bratboy, you haven't been paying too much attention over this past year at some of his tournament results.
