I'm watching it right now - Hellmuth is just plain and simple a schmuck

Did you see that side bet he made with Ivey?

If you made as much money playing poker as he has, you could act any way you wanted to and still be considered one of the best. This is his thing. If you ever meet him and talk to him, you will find out that al he does is what any good poker player should do. He gets the oppositions attention off the game and on to himself. A good player knows that getting peoples attention away from what is going on at a table is a major plus for the player who can do it. Bottom line. The more annoyed you are at me, the better chance I have of beating you. Emotions kill people in poker.

kinda ironic that you say this because it's usually phil's emotions that get the best of him.

same can be said for mike matasow. he's a good player that gets in people's heads but at the same time he can let his emotions get the best of him.

Never said he wasn't a good player. Just said I'd like to see a bus run over him.............

And, FWIW, he sucks at cash games. Will give him his props on the tourney scene, but he's a donk at the cash tables.........
