Default Hellmuth\'s Place?

With Phil's record setting # of cashes and now bracelets does this cement him as the World's best No Limit player?

...no.

You have to be a winning cash player too in order to even wince at that title.

No Limit is not even the favorite game of the cash gamers today.

Sooooo, hellmuth isnt a winning cash player? Hes not good enough?
He might be good enough to beat 1/2, maybe 2/4 and possibly 3/6 if he runs good. But then again....he might not be good enough he just wins tournaments. or are you trying to say he has to beat the highest stakes possible to be a winning cash player?

this is a gimmick account right????? lolololol

Phil is probably one of the top 3 NL tourney players against a weak field that is typified by the WSOP. Look at his results in top fields like the WPT championship, or any event with a top heavy field.

As a NL cash player Phil is a player that pros love to have at their tables, a tourney donk who thinks he can play the same way in a cash games as a tournament.

Cant believe I even wasted time to write this.

To be considered the best; I think you need to beat the highest stakes....or is that not right?

Phil has done extremely well the last two years at the WPT Championship at Bellagio. Also, I'm pretty sure a few good players play in these WSOP events, but I can't be certain.
