Stop confusing luck with skill. Player' s will go on sick heaters, but everything reverts back to the mean.
Please stop giving Phil Hellmuth any attention. He's one of the worst poker personalities at the table and what he did to the amateur fireman was despicable. Anyone who defends Phil needs a reality check. He's all about himself and arguably the most egotistical, delusional, self-centered person I've seen.
I'm just scratching the surface. I could go on with the UB fiasco, ripping off backers blinding/anteing out, throwing tantrums after every bad beat. Let him bust into obscurity.
What he did to the fireman? You mean buying him back in next year tournament? Having the fireman praise him? Getting someone with a worst hand to call all-in? The guy calling had a worst flush draw. It's result oriented to say that he "did something to the fireman", if anything he did something to the other guy who happened to get lucky. And we don't even know if he would have folded. He had 10 times more chips than the fireman. It was bad table etiquette and he should have been penalized, but, as of right now, Hellmuth didn't do anything to that fireman. Ask the fireman on twitter.
Also, in what type of fields do you think that pros win most of their bracelets? You think that pros mostly win the 1 500$ buy-in with a few thousand players?
To say that someone with 15 bracelets and nearly 23 million in live earnings gets "lucky once in a while" is beyond dumb. He makes a lot of mistakes, but he obviously found something that suits his game.
