Learn your facts before you go posting like you know what you are talking about.
"his arrogance clouds his judgement"
Who are you, yoda?
That would make everyone but you and Mr. Hellmuth idiots.
A queen ten. Tricky guy eh Phil?
Not sure what you mean. Phil said "I'm not tricky enough to play queen ten this good am I?", and then ridicules the other guy for playing that hand, so I'm just ridiculing Phil. The point is that Hellmuth behaves like this whether he legitimately has a reason to or not. His behavior is just ridiculous and tiresome.
I'm not saying Phil Hellmuth isn't a legitimate poker player, but his behavior is so bad that he draws the attention away from any good play and puts the focus on his bad behavior. I don't think anyone is doing him any favors by supporting this type of behavior. The guy spends most of his time claiming that he wants and deserves respect, but then behaves in a way that ensures he earns a lot of disrespect.
Just look at the amount of videos on the internet showing and delighting in what a bad player Hellmuth is. You know this can't really be representing how he plays, but it is what people see because he draws such a huge amount of ill will toward himself with his obnoxious, disrespectful behavior.
The point is, he brings the negativity on himself. This huge glut of people aren't looking for a reason to hate Phil Hellmuth, he just makes it so hard not to. If people weren't so focused on despising his horrible behavior, they could focus on his play and make their judgments as to whether he is or isn't a good player based on that. If I had someone in my life who I cared about and they were behaving in a way that was clearly at odds with what they
said they wanted to achieve, I would step up and tell them what I thought about that behavior in no uncertain terms. I certainly wouldn't indulge their horrible and counter productive behavior.
