Outlaw_IA 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 They said they dont see each other much now, im sure thats all it is. Link to post Share on other sites
Scott31 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 There may be more to it, but Phil goes with tourneys (because that's all he's good at) and Huck sticks to the cash games for the most part. Hard to be friends when you're in different parts of the country or the world, for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites
kad 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Im fairly sure being friends with Huck is -EV Link to post Share on other sites
PokerFan 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Huck Seed is a jerk as evidence in the US poker Champ. You know your a jerk when other jerks dont even like you (Helmuth) Link to post Share on other sites
Sushiman 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 From what I read Huck Seed is one of those eccentric genius types whose brain works in kind of a funny way, making them really hard to know. Link to post Share on other sites
brian67 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I thought it was because Huck got more into the Vegas party scene and Hellmuth went back to the family thing in Palo Alto. There may be more to it, but Phil goes with tourneys (because that's all he's good at)Yeah probably best in the world Link to post Share on other sites

JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Phil 2 Bracelets in 2 years? Meh.... Maybe, But I'd put my money on a lot of people before Phil Helmuth Link to post Share on other sites
Mattnxtc 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 eh..i could see phil winnin one bracelet this year just b/c there are so many holdem tourneys...2 might be stretchin it a big although he did make a few final tables last year...wasnt it like 4 or 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, 1 is gonna be damn hard for Phil. Like DN has said, Phil just hasn't adjusted as well to the internet noobs. I still believe he's a top 50 tourney player, but not very close anymore to best in the world (if you consider top 50 not very close). Link to post Share on other sites
Ktiger48 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 i agree that 2 will be tough for phil to get, but with all of the hold em events it is possible. i would like to see huck do well at the wsop this year. i got to talk to him for a little while in vegas once. he was a really funny guy, so i will root for him to get a few bracelets this year Link to post Share on other sites
faketree 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I've met Huck in person and have watched him play a few tables away from me at Foxwoods numerous times and I do not get the impression that he is a jerk.All the Foxwoods dealers speak very nicely of him. They say he is one of the best tippers in those high limit games and is always a gentleman.This all seems to be he said she said crap. And yes, Huck and Phil do seem to be close friends but Phil said they don't see each other as much as they used to.And JWeb, you will never get over your Hellmuth hatred will you? I mean, the guy is arguably the best No-Limit Hold'em tournament player in the world. Link to post Share on other sites

Just because he hasn't won a WPT event since you've been watching it on TV doesn't mean the 'doesn't have it anymore'.I'll say it again. The guy has proven himself to be one the greatest, if not THE greatest, NL Hold'em tournament players in the world.I mean look at this. Link to post Share on other sites
brian67 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Really Hellmuth just lost on ridiculously bad beats. I really don't think anyone is as solid as Hellmuth in NLHE. His tournement play is second to none. The guy only loses when he gets outran, not because he was outplayed. Link to post Share on other sites
monsterrain 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 King Austin I will take your action on a $50 bet. And i will take any action from anyone else that says Hellmuth will win 2 bracelets. Austin, we have a deal? Loser transfers the cash through a poker site? Link to post Share on other sites
Blackgoat 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 King Austin,I'll lay you 1.4 to 1 odds that Hellmuth does not win 2 bracelets this year - that is, I'll give you $70 for your $50 bet. Are you on? Payment through neteller, paypal or pokersite. Link to post Share on other sites

It is going to be much harder to win any bracelet this year. Phil winning two this year is probably like Phil winning 4 back in 2003! Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'll give you 5-1 phil doesn't win two this year. Dead serious, Austin. You wanna make the bet, IM me.. Link to post Share on other sites
