Default Hellmuth Bias At WSOP

Hiya folks,

It has occurred to me that there is an unintentional bias towards Phil Hellmuth in his quest for WSOP bracelets. Simply, he is a Hold'em specialist and Hold'em events dominate the WSOP and in this regard he has the edge over Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan.

How big this edge is, I am not sure.

seems to me that if you could play more games you could win more bracelets. I am going to have to go with the above posters on this one

I'm with the others

Being a hold em only specialist is actually more of a handicap than being a player who is still pretty awesome at hold em (Chan/Brunson) and also awesome in other games (with much smaller fields)
