Hello brother
Without a doubt Phil is one of the best players in poker history, and he still is.
If you look at the
wsop tournaments he plays, he loses
hands like he loses at a normal table and he doesn't whine. On the contrary, if he leaves the MTT in general, he does so greeting his winning opponent.
The television show is something else. There he is the big star and almost everyone looks at him so that he gets hundreds of badbeats, the more he gets the better so he insults, whines, and does his whole show staged.
For the achievements that he has, I really allow him to whine hahahaha.
With respect to the others who do the same, well if he touches you a crybaby at a cash table it is a very good sign.
Look, the day before yesterday he was playing a 0.25 / 0.50 Omaha table. There was a Brazilian player who must have thrown no less than 5 or 6 all in winning them.
So far, let's say normal. When the balance tipped in favor of the rest, he began to whine and get angry, either because of the badbeats, or because of the time other players, including me, spent thinking about a hand, began to insult, etc.
And that was a great sign, because this player who entered with US$50 and was winning US$500 at one point, how did he end up???
I finish out at zero.
Keep this in mind if you play cash.
My regards, brother
