Phil Helmuth

[yawnlol]

I dont get why people dont like phil. I know hes an egomanic and has crazy rants but personally i find that really entertaining, and as much as people would like to disagree its clear he is a great player. Heres hoping for #13 soon

The majority of the people who dont like him, are really the younger generation online players. Most other poker enthusiasts and players, including recreational players, would never have the same veiw of him imo. A veiw which is obviously wrong, the guy knows how to play every game and does it well. Good for him for continuing to rack up bracelets in the face of all the negativity the past few years.

I don't agree being older myself, I have never liked Phil. But that doesn't mean I don't think he's a great poker player. In fact he might be the all time greatest poker player....he's just also the biggest brat as well.
