kook04 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 phil is a great poker player...he's extremely entertaining...and he's great for the game...anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.Daniel (as well as others) are also all three of those things. However, they maintain those qualities without also acting like total Jackasses far too frequently. The moral being, you can be a great poker player, entertaining, and great for the game without being a douche. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 In a lovely twist of irony, Chip Reese eliminated Phil Hellmuth from the Bay 101 yesterday, in case you missed that nugget. Link to post Share on other sites
Ramocita 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 To:"Phil is a jopke", and "i want to rip his tongue out"You guys are kidding right?sure he always speaks his mind, and name calls, but how many people can you say dont get steamed and express themselves 1 way or another?phil would Pwn all of you, and he is a great player in my mind, just needs to relax a bit more, but theres nothing wrong with him acting like a douche when he loses.He's easily top 10 maybe even top 5 in my mind of great holdem playersAbsolutely agree!...

Royal_Tour 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yes there is something wrong with him acting like a douche. You're right, everyone (or almost every) steams at one time or another. Not everyone conducts themselves like a child, as Phil often does. As for your second statement, I agree with you that Phil is a great hold em player. Unfortunately, the guy that he is talking garbage about in this clip is a much better poker player than Phil, has played longer than Phil, has made more money playing than Phil, and always conducts himself as a professional. I say unfortunately because all of these qualities posessed by Chip just highlight what a douch Phil can be.Yes, If you paid close attention to the interview, Phil gave much respect to Chip, but also added the nugget about him having to watch out over the next 10 years.Thats all just gamesmanship like conduct, of course you have to think you're the best, if not you will never win.

I have a strong feeling that Chip Reese isn't going to be losing any sleep about Phil gunning for him. I do however agree with you statement about needed to think you are the best.
