Phil Hellmuth is the best

[EliminateU]

Any opposition to this? NLHE tourney player.

[Wyte22]

Daniel Negaru is better than Phil Hellmuth. Heck even Phil IVEY is a better Phil. Hellmuth just been in the game too long!

Ummmmm.....what? The "best" ? Nah, sorry, don't think so...

But how can you quantify that. Hellmuth (in NLHE tourneys) just dominates. He makes incredible lay-downs, shows great control. Has 11 WSOP bracelets.

I hate to point out the obvious but anybody who has great control wouldn't be nicknamed poker brat....

I think in No Limit Holdem Tournaments he has to be considered the best, he has more holdem bracelets than anyone. In cash games and other poker games... I dont think so.

I think Ivey just has too much money, we wont see him cracking hellmuth's nlhe bracelet record, he gets bored too easily.

Hellmuth only has more bracelets because he has been playing over 20 years. Given the same amount of time, others will surpass him easily. He isn't the greatest, he is good though.

i honestly think they are all over paid arrogant assholes they are rich enough they need to retire and let some one else have the money and the glory. help the poor don't help the rich.

[GreaseStain]

if they retire though they won't bring any money back into poker, we want phil to keep playing to stimulate the poker economy

Ok. But I forgot, what does Barry Greenstein do again? I wonder how he got that nickname 'The Robbin Hood of Poker'... Oh yeah, thats right, because he helps the poor by donating ALL of his WINNINGS to CHARITY'S! Not all poker players are snobby and rich beyond belief.

All poker players had to start out somewhere, right? Not everyone (I say that because there are a few people who were born rich and had loads on money to both learn and gamble with) was born a winning player. Most, if not, all of the pro's were first people who were barley learning this new game, not knowing the possibilities it could hold. Then, they found out, they got good, and not it's all on how good they are, or how lucky they have gotten to think they are good. (I'm not saying any names here... *cough* Phil Hellmuth *cough*... )

Bty, I like to call Phil Hellmuth 'The Luckiest Donk'. And you can quote me saying that about him at the felt.

hes not the best but you do have to give the man his crediot i mean hes doing ok lol

[necoloschi]

I think every player has his fase.Todos of poker players sitados here are a phenomenal ability, its features are unique and each with its estilo.Mas Stu Ungar and I searched was a fenômeno.Só to make it clear that all poker players from that success will always have my respect.

there's no denying that phil hellmuth is a poker badass, but we're forgetting about some of the greats here. John Juanda for example, howard and even dan harrington.. so who knows who the "best" is but there are alot of Greats
