Default Phil Gordon slams Helmuth

I'm watching HU Poker and Phil Gordon just slammed Helmuth:

"I did something like 42 episodes of Celebrity Poker and then they brought Helmuth in; After he took over, the ratings dropped like 80% and the show was cancelled."

Zing! That'll probably bruise Helmuth's fragile ego a bit.

Listen to or read gordons little green book. He takes shots at helmuth there as well. One of the only poker books on cd. Nice while traveling. A very good beginners book.

Isn't Phil Gordon very rich from his pre-poker days of working in the software industry or something? I'm pretty sure he is financially much better off than Helmuth.

maybe hellmuth got his gig so he does not like him?

i doubt any of the rating fall had anything to do with hellmuth.

gordon does not seem to be loved among the elite tourney guys. i think he is a bit arrogant and the other players probably just see him as a rich dude who is not as good at poker as he thinks.
