OMG Phil hellmuth is so bad at poker!

JooWish622 · #1 01-08-2006, 07:58 PM

OMG he's the worst poker pro in the world. After watching him on the TOC and 2005 world series, I just can't believe that anybody regards him as a great player.

Okay, so what that he has nine poker bracelets. THe fact of the matter is is that his gamestyle of chipping up and weak-tight play is outdated because of the new-age internet pro who effortlessly runs over hellmuth with their raises and reraises. His lack of poker bracelets and victories in the last two years is proof of his overating. He will likely never win another bracelet. His glory days are behind him.

The major pros claim his cash game to be laughable. He just doesn't understand the need to be non-ABC and aggressive. All he does is fold all day. How can a player be good if he just folds all day? He should learn to just bet more aggressively and not get blown off his hands. All he seems to do is nut peddle.

AFter watching him play on UB and whine about bad beats, I have to say that he is no better than some Joe Shmoe at a local casino. As an everyday player and 2+2 reader, with no real experience playing high-stakes poker or any real professional experience or real solid knowledge of the game, I know that he is an inadaquate player with a major ego problem. Feel free to follow this up 2+2 with claims about Phil Hellmuth and your praises of better players. Who do you think is better than Phil Hellmuth? Phil Ivey? Hoyt Corkins?

I love making attacks on people who have obviously proven themselves to be good poker players.

Give me a break...

Any post with a subject of, or starting with, "OMG" should be instantly locked.

That is all.

this is embarrasing..

Yes, he must be one crappy player to make it to the final table of the TOC.

And yeah, you don't need skill to win 9 bracelets. Just ask Doyle and Johnny, who've both won 10.

When it comes to NLHE tournaments, the only player I would pick to stake over Hellmuth, is Ivey.

Terrible point. Do you know the type of short-term luck that is involved in a heads up, 100 or 200 hand match? It is in no way an indication of your skill level. I'm sure anyone could beat Johnny Chan with the right run of cards.
