He has played well against week players, his 3 wPTwins have been against weak players whom he, like Ivey, and Daniel N out play week players on the flop with weak hands, and thats great, the difference is that Dan and Phil can also do that against strong players. THough he won the Super Stars Invitational, he won it with many suck outs in the early goings. Better players like Reese, Greenstein, and Brunson had HORIBLE LUCK in that tourney. As far as cash games, his style does not suit cash games, and he's known as a loser in the top cash games, in the Bellagio game with Brunson, Greenstein, Danny N., Ivey, and Reese, where it's a mixed game, usually HORSE, or SHOE he's a real fish in these games, for 3 reasons. 1. he's a one trick pony, tournament hold em is all he can do well at, he's also a horrible stud hi/lo player, 2. he's playing against top players, not college kids who play online, 3. his style is too wreckless, it works EXTREMELY well at tournaments because you have to build your chip stack quickly to be able to keep up with the blinds that continue to rise. You all tell me about editing on tv, the same can be said about the toruneys on a whole, all we see is what he wins, what we don't see is that he loses more turneys than he wins. Yeah he still wins, but he can't do that in a cash game, where there is no rush to get chips, where solid play is best.
