Surely I'm not the only one happy to see Hellmuth's record of youngest champ ever finally fall??

Sorry Matt. I figured since it's been all over the internet and TV this morning that it was impossible to miss

Don't sweat it Kev, I will just watch Dancing with Stars instead. Maybe I will flip over to the Knicks game and make sure Starbury is still on the bench too.

But don't you have to be a star to get on it? Oh wait, I see that Kenny Mayne was on it one year.

Phil would have had a great career as a bad guy wrestler in the ill fated WWF. Few personalities in Poker are more full of himself than this guy. I don't understand why this give this dweeb so much air time when he bitches about people making the wrong play when they beat him.....it sure isn't the guys looks.

Because he is great TV, love him or hate him (most hate him). He is a funny funny individual. He had one of the best lines I have every heard. It was something like, "I guess if it wasn't for luck, I would never lose a hand". I love watching him and the way he gets when he gets beat. I like him and I like Mike the mouth. I think they are both great card players and very funny people. I could watch those two all the time.

I used to loathe Mike the Mouth a few years ago. Then for some reason, I just took a liking to the guy. It could be that he blew all of his WSOP money on drugs (major coke jaw) that one year, hit rock bottom, then proceeded to climb back to the top of his game. His table image is great now, IMO, and his skill is top notch as well. (He was just the chip leader at Foxwood's WPT event, will have to check it out and see how he fared. He also finished #29 in this years Main Event, I believe.) He hangs around in almost every tournament he enters. The guy can flat out play. No if's, and's or but's about it.

As for Hellmuth, he is great for the 'sport'. Plays the role of the villain to a tee, has everyone at his table either gunning for him, or running from him. (Which can backfire some times) And Doc, he may play the role of the "brat" or "dweeb" (which is mostly an act), but his record clearly speaks for itself. Second to none when it comes to accomplishments in the poker world, and only he can say that.

Damn. I was rooting for him to get it done. He'll probably get to another final table in his next attempt. Guy has a knack for knowing where he stands in each and every hand he enters. Uncanny would do it no justice when trying to describe it.

i hate hellmuth because he's the inspiration for table coaches worldwide.

they're are guys playing bottom level that love to drive easy money elsewhere.

There's nothing like sitting next to someone who thinks making a guy that just wants to have a good time and doesn't mind losing money doing it feel stupid. that's such a fantastic poker strategy.

what part of bad player's being profitable are you phil, jr's missing?

you don't want to tell someone that calling a pot bet on a flush draw is stupid. you want to make them feel great about it.

unless your ego is more important than your wallet.
