he doesn't get much action in NLHE and his PLO is mediocre, as is the general consensus
he plays too much for the money, if you listen to his interviews
if you play poker for the monies, u ain't gonna be anywhere close as successful as one who plays to win (aka beat the game)
tbh i dont think durrrr plays that much for the money.
he's not really a balla guy who poses with his money, he's rather the type of guy who is incredibly ambitious and perfectionistic.
For me or for them? I'm not as good as these guys at PLO and I don't understand the metagame at their level. It always seems like they jam with any piece of the flop, but they show up with big hands at the right time. Phil seems to have a great sense of knowing when to bet and when to let his opponents bluff.
