Default Re: Phil Hellmuth best holdem player by far

this would be better in TV forum but there was a hand on PAD where Phil H limped in and someone raised and he was talking about his hand, basically giving away its strength. Jen said something like "you wouldn't give away your hand by talking would you" and Phil said "no they know I have a big hand" etc when it was obv from his previous talk that he had a very marginal hand and probably wasn't going to call. So basically he did give his hand away then weakly tried to cover it up, very donkish imo.

I love how he says stuff like "I used to crush all the cash games 10 years ago."

I wonder if he has any idea how incredibly soft those games must've been back then compared to today's games. I mean, live poker NOW is soft, can you imagine pre-poker boom cash games? mmmmmm

as someone who has been playing for a decade (pro for 7 years), i can tell you that is NOT true. yes, the great players are better now, but the bad players are much worse these days and there are more of them.

Yeah, its kind of a double edge sword, while there wasn't as much literature/learning tools back then, poker wasn't as trendy, so there was a lot less dead money.

If you don't consider Phil a great NL hold'em tournament player then you're a fool.

Next.

Amount PH actually cares about anybody's opinion but his own = zero. It's all a facade to make himself more marketable. Seriously, everybody hates him. Yet, we can't stop talking about him.

Hellmuth wins. We all lose.

The guy has nothing to prove. He's loaded to the gills with cash. He could not play poker for the rest of his life and have more money than 99.9% of these pro poker players/gamblers.
