What is Hellmuth in this for?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hellmuth made a lot off UB and I think some other investments.

Like prop bets with Ivey? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

How the heck can you come top 4 or something in a major tourney and still be stuck for prop bets alone [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Thats skill.

this is getting closer to my idea of success. the best would have to have (in my opinion) 30-50 million in financial assets (excluding bankroll). of course, inherited money does not count...........b

If the Baldwin # is correct and it seems to be, he makes more than $4000 in hour (including when he is sleeping). Hellmuth will fly to Rochester, MN for a 20k appearance fee. Can we officially take Phil off the list?

Sorry, I can hardly buy that someone that good in one side of NL, would be so bad in the other. He looks like a pretty accurate hand reader on TV, but seriously, how hard can it be to read tourney fishes?
