To celebrate my upcoming 1000th post I will play the next tourney ($2.2, 3000 guaranteed) like the Phil Hellmuth, the greatest poker player in the world.

the rules:

1)Register late.

2)stick to the Phil Hellmuth top 10 hands
(77+, AQ+)
(position does not matter as Phil Hellmuth, the greatest poker player in the world, is the center of the universe)

3)open limp/call always

4)bet half pot on flop(fold to action)

5)check/fold on turn (exept i got the bullets)

6)pop em on the river (exept there is action before me)

7)tell honey what happened
