He plays a good counterstrategy against aggressive players and he provides an image to encourage people to run him over.

Given that the aim of poker is to make money, and the aim of tournaments is not to fancy-play your way to glory but to amass chips, I'm really at a loss trying to figure out why you think that that doesn't make him a good player. Nearly every poker book I've read says "avoid the tough players, play the fish" and you criticise Hellmuth for doing that?
