Fluffdog87 2 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Amusing anecdoteI first played with Phil in a no-limit side game in Los Angeles in 1992. I didn’t pay attention to tournament poker back then, but I had heard that he was a cocky kid who had won a big tournament. He was playing fast and loose and showing his hands and needling people whenever he outplayed them. Well, I was pretty cocky too. Phil opened for a raise, I reraised and Phil called. After the flop, I bet, Phil raised and I reraised him all-in. He thought for a while, showed me top pair and then folded. I showed him Deuce-Three offsuit which bore no relation to the flop.Phil stood up and said, “Nice play buddy, but that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. Do you realize that giving me that kind of information is going to cost you all of your money? It’s because of players like you that I make millions of dollars a year playing poker.”Taken from http://barrygreenstein.comThis is why I love Phil Hellmuth. He hates being beaten by donkeys.

Let's start by saying that this has been posted before, as well as just about everything at barrygreenstein.com. As for the other statement, I'll just let you believe what you want, but whether the statement is true or untrue doesnt necessarily affect the originality of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Beagle 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I love the "I heard he won a big tournament" part considering that Hellmuth had won the Main Event three years before this story allegedly took place. Although I guess if Barry really didn't pay attention to tournament poker... :shock: Link to post Share on other sites
