Oh common, you CANNOT compare hellmuth's achievements with poker today. It's true that Hellmuth has 11 bracelets but they are from A DIFFERENT TIME. 7 of the 11 bracelets were won before 2001 and 5 of them were won before 1993. Back then poker in general and WSOP in particular was NOTHING like today, fields were much smaler and only a few knew wtf they were doing. Hellmuth is living of passed times and we all know it - don't bring his results into this.

To give you an example in 1989 when Hellmuth won the main event there were ONLY 178 runners - you can NEVER compare a main event win back then with a win nowdays!

if did not understand my post it seems

i probably will catch flack for this, but just going by hunch that I'd rather have mizrachi's action in WSOP ME fields than Duhamel. But Duhamel for most other big buyin MTTs. I think people underestimate the ability to play vs fishes as compared to pure NLHE skill.

edit: oh and grats on the score fayth. too bad we only were able to play like 5 rounds together =[ though i still cant believe you didnt think your jack's weren't 100% good against galfond after he tanked for 11 minutes lool

So you'd rather take the action of someone who can slaughter fishes than someone who can slaughter fishes and win against better, more competent players? Seems kinda odd

I was pretty sure my jacks were good obviously I was just a bit shaken by how long he took to act

the ability to play vs fishes is not a part of nlhe skill ?
