At least HackerJack understands a little about the game of poker. It is a game of perception. Phil Hellmuth has created for himself the perfect image. Almost every single person that has commented in this post would be at such an incredible disadvantage to him because you hate him so much. Anybody that has the acknowledgments in poker that Phil does has an incredible grasp on himdelf and the game of poker. He makes very few mistakes, and when he does, it is because he made an incorrect read on a person, not because he is an idiot. Read some more books, play some more poker, and create your own winning style of play. Complaining about someone who is whining is never going to make you a better poker player. Maybe you could even learn something from watching him.
