Phil Hellmuth: Donk or not?
I was just curious about what everyone else thinks about his highness. I've never once been impressed with his play; furthermore, I think that all Hellmuth is good at is self-promotion. He's a total jerk at the table, doesn't know how to adjust his play to better take advantage of his opponents proclivities, has a terribly whiny voice,and is a blight on the face of poker (though not anywhere near the blight that is Jamie Gold!) Thoughts?

Re: Phil Hellmuth: Donk or not?
Define anything and years please? He made 4 final tables at the WSOP last year including one win. I'm not a Hellmuth fan but I'll give him credit where it's due.

With that being said, he is obviously a top Tourney Player ("when he is at full power"). I have no idea about his cash game skills except that his peers do not seem to respect his cash game at all. My question is how do you reach your conclusion about his skill as a player? Were you talking about Tourneys or Cash Games? have you played him? Have you been a railbird in live games for an extended period of time? Or, is your opinion based on GSN's HSP and ESPN's coverage of the WSOP? PS: Why doesn't someone else market like Phil does?
