Re: Phil Hellmuth best holdem player by far
You guys simply don't see the beauty of Hellmuth's game.
In fact, there is a lot of truth in this. He plays a good counterstrategy against aggressive players and he provides an image to encourage people to run him over.

Its funny that someone with a lot of poker knowledge thinks that by beating a ton of fish and a few good players(he most likely got a huge % of his chips from fish) that hes the greatest NL holdem player in the world.

[/ QUOTE ] Given that the aim of poker is to make money, and the aim of tournaments is not to fancy-play your way to glory but to amass chips, I'm really at a loss trying to figure out why you think that that doesn't make him a good player. Nearly every poker book I've read says "avoid the tough players, play the fish" and you criticise Hellmuth for doing that?
