Phil is a complete tight @$$ when he plays and I can quote him saying, "I don't know how I get any action". When he doesn't have a bunch of amateurs to reel in and actually plays in a high stakes cash game, he gets completely owned. Hellmuth is the biggest poker sell out, wanna be celebrity on Milwaukee BEAST cans that I've ever seen. He is ruining poker by making everyone think its all about winning *gasp* you're first bracelet. Poker is about making money, not winning a piece of jewelry on a coin flip at a final table that was delayed for 3 months to increase ESPN ratings. I'm sick of that sell out, staged car crashing cry baby and I hope he never again cashes in a single tournament.

Hey, if I ever become a professional player, you better believe that I will be interested in getting a bracelet, of course the money would be more of a non issue at that point, after being able to afford to play cards for a living the next step would be winning some significant tournament or something just to say that I did.
