Professional Poker Player
Phil Hellmuth is at it Again

And when I say Phil, I mean Mr. Hellmuth Jr. I know that sometimes it feels like all successful poker players are named Phil, however, he is arguably the most famous.

For shooting off his mouth at inopportune times. The more Phil Hellmuth says he's going to change, the more he stays the same. Was watching the Monaco Poker Invitational on FSN today, and with six players left, and only three getting paid, I witnessed the following hand:

Phil Hellmuth holds a KJ suited, meanwhile Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, has an A5o. Phil moves all in, and Jesus has him covered, and calls. Of course, all things being equal, Phil's hand did not improve, so, he busted out in sixth place.

What's wrong with this picture, you ask? Well, several things, starting with Phil's starting hand selection. Some may remember about a month ago, I wrote about a tip he gave about this very same hand. Second, in his after interview, he criticized Jesus' call, stating that he only really had a coin flip, and he shouldn't have called, because he knows that Phil doesn't bluff.

Excuse me? I really mean it this time. Excuse me? The arrogance of Phil Hellmuth thinking that he's always the best professional poker player when clearly that is almost never the case, has gotten out of hand. But it is fun to watch and talk about....
