rofl... I had to wait until his 3rd thread to say it, but WTF TROLL?!
Seriously, Poker has evolved absolutely insanely beyond prediction in the past 10 years, to say that Hellmuth is even a top player is comical.
Top players in the world imo are Durrrr, Galfond, and Ivey, (cash game nl/plo that is)
Hellmuth's advice was prolly pretty decent when he gave it.... A DECADE AGO..... Comparing Hellmuth to the best players is like comparing football/baseball/basketball players from the '70s with their counterparts in 2010.
my 2 cents. Again for the 3rd thread in a row:
Read the articles at the top, and ignore anything hellmuth ever says.
EDIT: After reading your first reply to Night: WTF?!?! Night2o1 is FUCKING HELPING YOU, AND YOUR BEING RETARDED. TURN OFF ESPN/GSN AND LEARN -SOMETHING-
eh, all i mean is, WAKE UP, if people are reacting this way to your every comment, and all of these people know more and play more seriously than you, YOUR WRONG WAKE UP

I think a bunch of people posting in this thread are just badwagoning and not taking time to understand the situation. Vegetta is new to poker, and for people who don't really know much about poker world, it is not that uncommon to only know the famous TV personalities and therefore overestimate their skill. How most people in this thread don't get that is beyond me.
As far as addressing the question in the OP, I think helmuth is good at live tournaments, and that's it. On top of that, he is a really loud and obnoxious TV personality, and has made way more money away from the poker table than at it. Additionally, there is a trend among the new school internet players to harp on older generation players, and Helmuth is basically the icon of that older generation is an overrated player. As a result, he is really hated on these forums.
As far as how durrr compares to other players..he is likely at the top of the NLHE skill tree, though how great his edge is against other top players, is debatable. As far as Elky goes, don't think he is that great at cash games. Most of his success and fame came from tournaments. Pretty sure he'd a be a dog at a top-tier cash game, which is why you don't tend to see him there.

holy fucking shit that is the most ridiculously bad thing I have ever seen in my entire life. From the editing to the acting to the actual teachings, there is nothing worse than what is in that clip.
