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

Can't he just shut up and play the highest games on full tilt?

[/ QUOTE ]

he already does, and he crushes them. He just cant publicly talk about it because he is sponsored by UB and isnt supposed to be playing anywhere else. I thought this was pretty common knowledge?

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

LOL, cash games pre-poker boom were much more difficult than today. It's also why you could rarely find a NL or PL game.

He didnt say all he said "the, but not super high limits" .... so prob 25/50 10 years ago is what he was refering to which he could still beat easily online or live his limit is probably no more than 1-200 at a successful win rate.

His book 'Play Poker Like The Pros' is also one of the best, if not the best poker book ever written IMO.
