Phil is the most overrated crybaby around. His books imply that he has zero poker knowledge to impart. His Omaha chapter....was that a joke or was he trying to teach people to be ridiculously bad on purpose. When I've played at the same table as him, he's cried and moaned about everything. He has the perspective of a 5-year old. If he bluffs, it's obviously a great bluff and you're a moron for not folding. If you draw out on him, you're a moron. When he draws out on you, he's a genius. Ev and pot odds seem to mean nothing to him, except when they support his own arguement. I'm of the opinion he didn't drop out of school because of poker, he was just too stupid. I'm also of the opinion that he's a net loser in poker.
