Default How Good Would Hellmuth/Matusow/Etc Be If They Weren\'t Tilt Monkeys?

If players like Matusow or Hellmuth or anyone else known for blowing up at the table had reasonable level of self-control (let's say the level of Daniel Negreanu, who has been seen to tilt on TV, and not some robotic untiltable demeanor), how good would those players be?

I don't know, Hellmuth would have 26 bracelets? I don't really think PH is a tilter. He steams, but doesn't go crazy wild with bluffs and LAG play.

what do u call his performance on hsp? maybe yur right. maybe he doesnt tilt very often. steaming and tilt r 2 different things. he definately tilted on hsp though.

cant blame mike for tilting. he gets really unlucky from the many hours i watched him on fulltilt.

i seen aba and bennyamine and ivey tilt before and it doesnt seem to hurt theyre careers. i think tilt is a part of the game. heck, u can tilt and win too sometimes. sometimes, tilt can make u play better.

This is like the "How good would Shaq be if he could throw FTs?" question.

(ie: pointless)

matusow would be very good....too bad that it's in his very nature to tilt. it's just who he is, so why bother gossiping about how he'd be 'if this' and 'if that'?

maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't take people on an interweb forum so seriously. and maybe, just maybe, you should take that stick out of your ass.
