Everyone should hate Joe, arrogant with no real reason to be, besides the fact his dad is loaded.

Re: Sebok bigger media [censored] than Hellmuth??
Hmm.
Met him a couple of years ago and he was very friendly (actually too nice imo, which I am tempted to attribute to being adopted, but this isn't the psychoanalysis forum.) I guess he won some tournies or something since then so it's possible he's become arrogant as you say, but I find it hard to believe. I'll give you that he might be a bit of an attention whore but that's a pretty venial sin, especially these days. |

Sebok is funny, good at poker, and handles criticism well. He seems like a cool guy. And what is wrong with being a bit of a media whore, .. seems pretty smart to me. [/ QUOTE ] You are making far to much sense to be posting in this thread. |

For the past two years, Barry's retarded son has participated in a fake prop bet designed to gain TV attention which his WSOP performance, or career accomplishments, do not justify. He also removes his facial jewelry when he is likely to be on TV to, presumably, increase his marketability. After a hot start where his poor play flourished because people erroneously believed he played as well as BG, he has reverted to mean and the mediocre results which his play deserves. Phil is the most annoying self promoter ever, but at least he does have wins which must be acknowledged. The "wreck" and idiotic race driver uniform does raise the bar for biggest media [censored], however. [/ QUOTE ] Any background on this "fake" prop bet? Being Barry's "son" is probably enough press that he doesn't need to do more to generate attention. While he's done a few less than awesome things (sng prop bet, bashing the homey ike), I get a general vibe of a decent, fun dude from him. |

No one is a bigger media whore than Hellmuth; I was sitting in the press conference when he was inducted into the WSOP hall of fame...what he talked about the most was how much money his friend makes (the guy who created the extended warranty) and how much money he makes with his cell phone game. He also wondered why Chan and Brunson weren't in attendance to watch his induction...hmmm I wonder.

He's okay. He deserves a helluvalot better than he's gotten in threads like this.

Re: Sebok bigger media [censored] than Hellmuth??
Barry is probably my favorite icon in all of poker, but yeah his adopted son is on the annoying side. One, because he's better looking than I, and two, because of all the stuff you said.
I guess I'd be pretty cocky too, if I was adopted by Barry Greenstein. Hopefully his dad can mentor him on how to be classy. Well, aside from the whole faking it as a Rabbi thing. But that was hilarious. |
