the AQ fold was so nitty in a pot w/ minieri and durrrr who are likely playing garbage hands

lol

Phil Hellmuth is tall.




-Durrrr

I think you have to give Hellmuth at least some credit for a good read in the pot with Esfandiari. Course it doesn't make much mathematical sense so I assume he was reading the player and not the situation.

Also, did anyone manage to get even 1/3 of the way through the great wall of btoulany?

I was thinking about doing something nice for awhile and make cliffnotes out of that wall of text but halfway through I decided that it must be a level.

edit: ok I really had nothing else to do so here are cliff notes for those who are interested:

- lol @ the kids on the internet critiquing hellmuth who has accomplished so much more than any of us

- online poker isn't real poker, live poker is

- we shouldn't complain about Hellmuth's antics because we don't know how it feels like to lose 200k

- Matusow and Hellmuth are geniouses because they get people to make bad plays against them due to their antics. people don't make those same plays against Ivey or Antonius because they are afraid to play with them

-If someone else made the same bad plays we wouldn't be critiquing them as much

- Online players suck because they don't understand the "feel" part of the game

- Aggressive online players have taken the skill out of tournament poker because there are so many all ins before the flop

Hillarious post and I only read the first two words and gave up.

Go back to school you inbred hick.

Paragraphs are your friend. :-) Nice, one long run-on sentence, lol.

lol I got to the second sentence and then quit reading.

Like TD said in the episode, an entire series of HSP is equivalent to about 15 minutes online. With the 2+2 fetish for "significant" sample sizes, why do people form so many conclusions from these few hands?

Criticizing the greatest holdem tournament player in the world, is so so so embarrassing. Nobody cares if he can compete or not, he is still the greatest, and his stats are flat out sick.


No Pro has ever done what PH did in the last 20 years. The best live tournament results in the history of poker and it's not even close.

He's also played more tournaments than anyone else in history. By far and it's not even close.

Haven't read all, but this part confirms it's a joke post.

You gave it away, dude.

This. He usually starts off with his weak-tight style(folding AQ, lol), and then goes on tilt within a few hands and then plays garbage like K2s and J5s just to prove he can when he doesn't have the skills or experience to do either profitably.

So you really believe that if Hellmuth bought into a deep-stacked tournament containing 100 of the greatest players ever he would even cash, much less win? You're delusional.

YOU ARE DELUSIONAL

Hellmuth won the poker hall of fame against the greatest, he won the ME when only the best of the best played, one of the toughest field ever in the Main Event. He has pretty decent stats in the WPT with a couple of final tables. So next time I'd suggest u go and check some stats before posting ****

I wonder what would have happened in his last hand if the turn had of been Ax rather than Kx

Great Rournament Player? Maybe he was. The competition was limited.
Great Cash Game Player? Certainly not on any program I have ever seen.

World's biggest douchebag? Always was, and always will be.

excellent post, sir. agree 100%

Phil Hellmuth Jr. tells us all that his problem is lack of focus on PEMM, not skill.

Daniel Negranau tells us all that the Phil Helmuth old school style just doesn't cut it anymore.

http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poke...t_from=&ucat=&

PHjr tells us that he is the best in the world, and suffers from bad luck.
DN tells us that his game is not at the same level of the elite players, but he is learning from them.
PHjr cannot believe that an idiot from northern europe should be able to beat him
DN is from Canada, more of a southerly direction, but still Canada.
PHjr won the main event in 1989 against 178 entrants
I took 3rd in a stars 180 man $12 buy in last night
DN has horribly dropped to 2nd on the all time money list behind the person who is arguably the best all round poker player in the world

Perhaps results should speak for themselves? History is nice, but what the do currently should be the measure of ongoing success.

OMG the biggest level in the history of 2p2.

UNBELIEVABLE

Wow. Phil, you can't let your agent hit the sauce after you bust out.

so much leveling ITT. hard to distinguish between the trolls and the hellmuth fanboys

from northern europe

FWIW I think Daniel was spot on in his blog. Hellmuth needs to sit back and maybe take some time off and just rethink his game. He's so out of touch it's unreal. I really like Hellmuth, he was one of the reasons I started following poker. When I first started playing I used to think that trying to trap someone was the ultimate way to win in Hold 'Em, but it just isn't the case.

I would like to see Hellmuth alter to the new climate, but his ego is just way too big to ever absorb what he needs to.

TBH Daniel Negreanu is way more outdated than PH.

WHat did Negreanu win after the boom??? How many bracelets or tournaments???

Just one second place in the WSOPE, that was his biggest achievement after 2003. He struggled every episode of HSP, in every show of PAD, he played horribly bad, he busted out in Day 1 of the Main Event for consecutive years, he can't compete, it's simple.

While Hellmuth won 4 bracelets and had excellent runs in the Main Event including a 45th place in 2008, Negreanu failed in every format.

So I laughed at his blog and his criticz towards Hellmuth being outdated.


Irony 100%
