I have often speculated on here & elsewhere that Mr Hellmuth will never win another WSOP Bracelet, on the grounds that he has "yesterday's game" and a suspect temprement.
Though he did not win this, it's clear he still has what it takes, & I'm happy to accept so.
But I still don't like his childish & rude behaviouir at the table......
But without him, poker would be a duller place. Whilst rude behaviour can be quite upsetting and/or downright ignorant when you are on the recieving end, it makes great viewing. We don't just play to win either. Whilst there is a difference between being rude and table banter, ones poison is another mans pleasure. Then again, as red-dog says - you don't have to like a person to admire what they do. Like Eminem, John Lennon etc for example.
