i agree that phil is a "poker brat" thats a moniker he placed on himeself because like you said,it sells books.i agree he does act like that because its his"image" but lets give the guy his props what he has done in poker is legendary..and seeing him get bashed by a bunch of ppl in here that started playing poker because of espn is unacceptable..ive been playing for only about 5 years or so, but i still respect great players,something these wanna be rounder, espn watching ,play money on the internet losers know nothing about
