Default Phil Hellmuth best holdem player by far

in this weeks PAD

"the best holdem player in the world is by far me, it's not even close, in tournaments and.. i mean there's some that are close to me in cash games.. i havent proved myself in the cash games.. i crushed all the holdem cash games for years.. but not at the super high limits"

Ivey's face is priceless [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Can't he just shut up and play the highest games on full tilt? He should prove himself instead of all the talk, there's no doubt he's serious

The only reason that Phil wins more tournaments than anyone else is that he compulsively enters more tournaments than anyone else. Please discuss.

Actually, you're way off here. Phil plays almost exclusively 10k plus tournaments and WSOP tournaments and almost nothing else. Maybe back in the 90's he played a lot but he doesn't play many these days. It's also hard to argue with his comments (maybe not so much the cash game part) about tournaments. Most of the top pros agree he's if not the top, one of the top 5 tournament players when he's hungry to win and it means something.

Of the millions of people who have tried tournament poker, he is the distribution's far right outlier, with some accounting for the fact that tourney winners are much more likely to keep playing tourneys, greatly increasing the chances of repeat winners. Someone has to be the most extreme outlier. It's him. It means nothing more than that.
