All of his bracelets are in hold'em and I don't get the feeling he dabbles too much in other forms.I also dont have a grasp on his mixed game skills, which there might be more money in at the higher stakes.
Benza and Caplan are so good at calling the game though

Obviously I am mistaken. I guess I don't remember where I head what I said before. I will just blame Norman Chad.I'm not going to dig thru all of PH's WSOP wins because I dont hate my life that much (not yet at least), but this was a quick search after I sorted via top money finishes for him.
I may have already said this, but I may have reached my breaking point with Phil on this season’s High Stakes Poker.I’m going to resurrect this thread just to comment on Phil. Holy fuckballs is he an insecure narcissist.
He’s constantly talking about how amazing of a player he is and how he plays perfect poker, but he’s getting so exploited on the show it’s hilarious. It would be more fun to watch if he wasn’t so arrogant.
Benza and Caplan are so good at calling the game though. Perfect balance with hearing table talk and commentary.
That shtick worked in 2005, but it's old now. Like, really old. Back in the day it worked well to get his name out there and create a character for himself. Now it's just old, and everyone knows he isn't the greatest hold em player to ever live. In 2005 it was believable, now, not so much. It's just time to stfu Phil.I may have already said this, but I may have reached my breaking point with Phil on this season’s High Stakes Poker.
He’s the best at what he does (winning live, large field poker tournaments) and thats always meant a lot to me. All his table talk has been at times amusing, annoying, and puzzling. But this season on high stakes poker, the non stop talk about himself just got to me. And when so much of the talk is about how great he is, directed toward a table full of people who think he’s a joke - it just shows a lack (or disregard) of self awareness that’s unfathomable.
I just don’t think I can do it any more. I look forward to this year’s live WSOP in the fall. But I think I can say for the first time, that I don’t want to see any Hellmuth, unless maybe it’s at a final table.
He's just so damn arrogant that I don't believe it's a shtick, he's just socially unaware of how much of a baby he looks and acts like. He's literally the joke of the table and you can see it in the players' faces. Hell, Ivey couldn't get out of there fast enough. I mean, if you've played as much poker as Hellmuth wouldn't you expect bad beats periodically? This season he's been literally bragging the entire time about how good he is, how much he's won and how stupid all of us viewers are because we don't "get it", meanwhile amateurs are running over him.That shtick worked in 2005, but it's old now.
