Why the hate for Hellmuth?

TheIronGame · #1 03-09-2006, 01:55 AM

New to the forum, but just wondering about the general hate and non-respect for Hellmuth and his game. The guy has 9 bracelets and has won millions of dollars playing Holdem. He is one of the best NLHE players to live. Hell, the guy is absolutely amazing at reading people and there hands...

Sure, the guys is a egocentric dork, but I dont believe that gives hundreds of keyboard jokey poker players the right to bash his game...He is better then you, alot better then you, deal with it...

It's his mole.

Phil Hellmuth and Thunder Keller's moles are bigger than my turds.

First of all its he's better THAN you not THEN you...

second of all it doesnt matter how good a player he is you still need to treat people who beat you with a small amount of grace. If you cant take losing then dont play.

"You cant even spell Poker"

"These people are horrible, I cant even belive that this is the World Series"

"Ask the other 9 top players in the world if its not bad ettiqute to ask for someones hand..."

Phil you're an @$$hole talented, but still an @$$hole

He plays up to the 'poker brat' image. It makes him a lot of money and brings him lots of attention. Its all a bit forced if you ask me, but it makes good tv and sells magazines. A great player - that should go without saying

as pokerbob mentioned, he's a dick.

How is it even possible to need to ask 'why the hate for hellmuth?'
Isn't it obvious?
If it's not, try opening your eyes.

Big [censored] deal, if people are that thinned skin to let his arrogance get the best of them . . . then I think they need to question some things about themselves. Big deal . . .

Phil Hellmuth is an [censored]. No one says he sucks at poker, he's just an [censored], that's all.
