wood ya tho ? i prob wood.
my ears are burninggggggHe's a sociopath with a superiority complex and has no empathy for those he considers lesser than himself (pretty much everybody).
I'm certain he pulled wings off grasshoppers as a child.
Narcissists that lack social awareness in professional poker? Do tell...He’s got some issues. He’s kind of like a narcissist. Aside from a lack of social awareness, I think he’s actually kind of harmless. But he’s not 100% okay.
I admit I can't be bothered to go find the timestamp, but I loved this interview, had it on in the background. The silly heads up poker is mostly a gimmick, but he does talk a lot about why he's a dick. Growing up, he came from a very competitive family and his siblings were the smarter/more athletic/whatever kids while he was very good at games. So his parents and family fed into that, and now most of his self worth is in games and making the right decision. Not saying he's right to feel or be that way, just offers explanation.Why does Helmuth act the way he does? I've only watched him play a few times but he's always being a loudmouth jerk, saying how much better he is than everyone at the table, criticizing play during the hand, etc. Does televised poker breed this sort of shit?

I can understand that, but if you’re good with Robbi Jade Lee mocking Phil Helmuth, then I don’t think we’re on the same page.
So what? He's still an asshat who behaves like a spoiled child in public, with no regard for others.There really shouldn't be any argument he's one of, if not, the best poker players in the world.

You think Hitler will be remenbered for being a great motivational speaker? Nope, his other unsavory characteristics will define him in history.
It’s always preferable for the people responsible for a problem to investigate themselves.
We're comparing Phil Helmuth to Hitler. Ok.So what? He's still an asshat who behaves like a spoiled child in public, with no regard for others.

Point taken, but...Point is, no matter a great a person's accomplishments may be, those are often overshadowed by their bad behavior.
I'm not comparing Helmuth to anybody. Deal with it.
Nope. Sorry for your reading comprehension issues.Point taken, but...
Yes... that IS exactly what you were doing, dude. LOL.
Wow.Nope. Sorry for your reading comprehension issues.
You mentioned Helmuth and Hitler in the same post; you didn't mention anyone else. Who were you comparing him to, then?A comparison, yes. Comparison of Helmuth to Hitler, no. Hence, your comprehension issue.
No, not trolling. You're an idiot.You mentioned Helmuth and Hitler in the same post; you didn't mention anyone else. Who were you comparing him to, then?
Are you trolling right now???
No, not trolling. You're an idiot.
No, not trolling. You're an idiot.
You compared two people, then claimed you didn't.No, not trolling. You're an idiot.
Yeah, and I totally forgot how dense you can be. Back on ignore you go.You compared two people, then claimed you didn't.
You then claimed you made a comparison, just not the one you actually made, then failed to explain the one you said you did make.
Explain how I am the idiot?
Either way, my probe worked. I was right about you all along, lol. Especially now that you're acting like the guy you criticized in the first place.
Too easy.
Translation: "I can't answer your questions and face my issues so I'm going to insult you and put you in ignore."Yeah, and I totally forgot how dense you can be. Back on ignore you go.
If you don't think it was a comparison then you don't understand what a comparison is. Period.There was no direct comparison between the two H-named persons. There was not even an implied comparison between them.
Nobody is saying that each person's (negative) qualities are comparable. They are separate examples.
The caption guy doesn’t missPhil played as bad as imaginable tonight. They’re playing $100/200 and he uncharacteristically bought in deep - $300k.
He played for like 90 minutes, lost $60k, disappeared for a half hour, came back, stole 3 quick hands for $10k each, then on the 5th hand he caught KK. Limped, raise, reraise, he flatted, fold. Heads up the guy flopped the nut flush. Phil payed him on all 3 streets, including the river, which was the 4th suit, which phil didn’t have. He lost like $150k on that hand and immediately quit.
Just unreal - he caught at least 4 or 5 premiums and tried to trap them all. He won the minimum and lost the maximum and then quit the stream less than a few hours in.
Just sad.
