^^^ Precisely that. Not even that he's an idiot, he just loves the game so much he doesn't settle for anything under winning. Sure sometimes his rants are excessive or ill-advised, but, that's part of the appeal of poker in America, imo. Negreanu said it in his blog as to the reasoning behind him not participating in the inaugural EPL event... "People want to see Hellmuth going on a tirade."
11 bracelets, including 2 2nd place finishes in this year's WSOP. Phenom. Hall of Famer.

well Rckt you sure showed me how many Hellmuth fans are out there, I enjoy his implosions, he really isn't good at high stakes cash games, but you showed a side of his tourney losses also. I have to agree with the community that he is not and idiot, BUT
I am curious who do you think is the best in the world, and please don't say the other Phil!!!!!!!

I don't think he is the best ... he is old school tight and tricky ... the formula has worked for him.

every year more and more amateaurs from online play show up in these tourneys tho and these "old timers" like phil have a lot more unknowns to deal with... they play radically and all over the place so its getting harder and harder for the "pros"
but ya i think he did take 2nd like 2 or 3 times this year at the wsop... he def holds his own!
