Pretty funny comparison you made to his blog. I did'nt realize Ivey and Antonius were actually of asian desent. I am disgusted how he throws in everyones face I paid this much for this, warriors game bla bla bla is really annoying as a human being to hear someone saying that. And although I am happy he gave some money to charity, when I think about how much some other players have given and have not widely publicized it just for the credit it really makes him look worse.

It was one of the funniest blogs I've ever read so I felt compelled to do my little spoof blog, lol.

Best blog yet.

I love this insight to The Brat's personality:

"How do you recover from the biggest and most brutal loss of your life to play in a tournament a few hours later? You sleep in, you walk 25 minutes to the event, grab a cappuccino on the way, and listen to music like Styx's "Fooling Yourself" and Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," right?"

lol, quality blog DN.

Scary how serious Hellmuth takes himself. My favourite part: "The reason I don't play in the big game at the Bellagio..."

You don't play in it Phil,

1. Because they'd break you, and you know it!
2. They don't just play Hold 'Em

I'm so proud! if i was a celeb and had powers like you i would have handled this in the same way.
what tool he is

Hey did you hear im not a noob anymore

yep, really funny blog daniel.
i really couldnt tell if Hellmuth is kidding about his blog or not.

I liked the "kid poker" mode, where you can read the hands, but call anyway, lol.

I thought poking some fun at myself was a nice touch, lol.

You know I used to really like Daniel, his poker skills are what turned me into the degenerate gambler I am today. I even remember naming a dish 'Mushu' that I have on the menu at a popular Korean restaurant I part own.

But he has crossed the line mocking the greatest poker player that ever lived, Phil Helmuth. How many braceletes do you have Mr. earrings????? How many times have you bought DOM for the room??? How many times has Michael Jordan said: "Hi Phil" to you?????

You are not worthy to wipe the mud from his boots after his successful voyage through the jungles of tournament play. His acomplishments are only shadowed by his abilty to say he is the youngest peson to ever win the Main Event 8 times in a row. His book: Play Poker Like the Pros is the greatest poker book ever written, spawning the equally successful Play Chinese Poker Like a Chinaman and Pay Your Wife for Therapy Like a Pro. His web site has attracted the greatest poker players in the world, like Annie Duke.


You have lost my respect Daniel. I will never ever ever ever read anything you write, and I will stop going to Vegas just knowing that you are living there.

P.S. Tell the FCP store to cancel my Phil Helmuth BobbleHead doll. I will use my FCP points at a store that you are not associated with.

Good Day sir!

lol I laughed like crazy at this blog, especially since I read the hellmuth blog yesterday.
and yeh the funniest part might have been the glitch were you can see others hole cards but call anyway

I think we have all been there where we say the opponent's cards but call anyways to lose. kidpoker mode made me really laugh.

Someone should start a "we were fans of Daniel Negreanu" club.

I just had my agent lock up exnegreanufans.com

Phil Helmuth has two agents

LOL, funny, and true!

Aww crap, i was gonna have my agent do that DN! I was gonna be the ex-negreanu fan spokesperson! Maybe I can change the wording around a lil bit. Bandwagonnegreanufans.com.

The energy drink that Phil is launching is interesting, he was talking about it on UB the other night. Not to get the thread off track or anything, but what is you serious take on the popularity of this idea, Daniel? Is it something that has alot of marketing value? I'm wondering cuz I have an idea, and I might just let you run with it.

That has to be the quintessential Hellmuth blog tho, and your parody of it was great!

I really find it puzzling how much attention Phil Hellmuth always manages to attract to himself. He ought to thank god for poker, otherwise he'd be in a small, smelly apartmant in Wisconsin filled with children's books. I really like the dude though, seems like a good guy, just not so socially clever. But I think he played better in 2003 than he does now.

LOL!!!

I don't know why, maybe I'm over-tired or something, but this made me laugh so much I think I tinkled a little.

Yah I have nothing bad to say bout PH, he talks alot on UB when he's seated and its always entertaining. He really is like a kid in a candy shop with the expensive stuff though.

" I will be drinking 10 of these a day at the WSOP and will be refilling the cans with my own urine for resale."

Daniel, don't give him any ideas!

FYP

I think to do this right we need to create a list to prove that a person once was a true fan and not a poser.

So I have made this list, if you cannot answer yes to all of them then you cannot be an ex-fan


1. Do you think Raymer was wrong?

2. Do you feel bad when you eat meat?

3. Have you stopped listening to Joe Rogen?

4. Do you wish you had been one of his proteges just so you can find out what his phone number is and sell it on ebay?

5. Do you think the Taco Bell dog is a wimp compared to Mushu?

6. Can you identify Dreamclown and what is relevance to DN was?

7. Do you think that online head's up Patrick Antoniuos got lucky?

8. Have you tried to watch hockey?

9. Do you own any FCP clothes?

10. Did you cry when DN shaved his head?

11. Did you forgive DN for not voting for Bush?

12. Did you buy Supe System II just to read about triple draw?

13. Do you think Jamacians are cool?

14. Have you tried to eat 10 crackers at once?

15. Have you ever been accused of being ghey on DN JUST because you have his poster in your bathroom?




If you cannot answer yes to all of the above questions, then you cannot in the future hate DN and be in the ExNegreanufanclub.com

Thanks you,

President ExNegreanufanclub.com

First to answer all 15 wins a special porcelin statur of our leader

Not pottery?

lol-taco bell dog has nothing on mushu

Great blogg, too bad it wasn't April fools day when Hellmuth wrote his blogg

the blog of Kid Helmuth, lol.

It's not what he did....it's what he DIDN'T do!

Now that was a good blog entry.

Reads like a boring April fools blog, with enough humour in it to keep you reading to the end.

The it links to a non-April fools blog for the ultimate in punch lines.

Did someone hack Hellmuth's site or something? You would have to be seriously deluded to think that was a good idea for a blog entry, unless your going for humour - but then you're a couple of days too early

BEST BLOG EVER!!1

Also dude, "Chinaman" is not the prefered nomenclature, Asian-American please.

Definately one of the better blogs in a while.


NH Sir!

Hellmuth doesn't play in the big game because he'd get destroyed. I'd like to meet the poker player who can handle such "swings".


ps. is there really no skill in chinese poker?

Well I guess seems as how everyone else is jumping on the hate Hellmuth bandwagon I'll be the odd man out and go the other direction just cause I can.

No matter what you say about the guy he's honest. Most people think that much of themselves but they hide it behind false modesty and psuedo-humility. If I was tied with Brunson and Chan for the most WSOP braclets I'd wouldn't be saying that I dodge bullets I'd actually hand out guns and let people shoot at me. I wouldn't get mad and rant and rave when some a$$clown makes a move into me and then sucks out, I'd rant and rave as I urinated all over the table and then I'd go take a dump on the front seat of the guys cars. Sure he is full of himself and lets people know it but he also is better than everyone in this thread put together (DN excluded).

OMGZORZ he only plays da one game way better than most! OH NOZ!!11!1 So by that logic Walter Payton and Babe Ruth are punk a$$e$ cause they didn't play BOTH football AND baseball at the top levels like Bo Jackson and Deon Sanders? Exceling in only one facet of the game somehow makes him not worthy of the braclets he has won?

And you people go on and on taking shots at this guy who you aren't even worthy of drinking his new piss drink (again DN excluded, you are worthy of drinking as much of his piss as you want), like ragging on him and picking him apart deserves the pats on the back you guys keep giving yourselves. Let me guess, you guys are the ones who stuffed the short fat kid in gym while playing basketball and then went looking for a high five like its some sort of accomplishment. Wow I just took a shot at the easiest target around and low and behold I hit the broad side of the barn!!!! Yay for me!!1 I wien!1! I am da wiener!

Bravo gentlemen, bravo.

Helmuth, while a great Tournament HoldEm poker player, is a self-proclaimed egotistical brat and also self admittedly afraid of the "Big Game" - which is fine. However, did you bother to even read the Helmuth Blog being discussed here? It is a wonderful insight to an ego completely out of touch with reality.

...and no one is taking shots at "the short fat kid" here. I don't even get why you bothered to include that in your rant.

(edited out stuff not relevant to the discussion)

So you're suicidal, eh?

I just wanted to address this misconception about Phil Hellmuth.

Hellmuth is a great tournament player. I know all of his bracelets are in Hold'em. Go ahead and look at his finishes in other events:

http://cardplayer.com/players/results/Phil...Jr./1356?page=1

He could easily have another handful of bracelets, with multiple final table finishes and a 2-7 second place finish and at least one Omaha second place finish. He also has an Omaha tournament win in there, obviously not from the WSOP.

The guy is just a good tournament player, period.

Yeah if they were playing asian-american poker!

Yes I read the blog and yes you are full of it when you say nobody is taking shots at the short fat kid. The short fat kid is easy to block in basketball just like Phil is easy to take shots at in poker. As a matter of fact I think he ties with Matusow as being the easiest to take shots at. And when it comes right down to it take all the shots ya want, just don't pretend its some kind of accomplishment. You saw an easy as hell shot and you took it, call it what it is.

Lets all throw ourselves a party we told the ego-maniac he has a big ego. PWNED!!1!1!!11

What are you talking about?

I am beginning to think you may have "short fat kid" issues.

Helmuth is being criticized - if you feel it is taking easy shots then fine. Whatever. He is an "easy target" because he makes himself a target when acts like such an ***. No one is pretending like it is some sort of "accomplishment". Again, Helmuth is a great poker player, in fact, in poker he is the OPPOSITE of the "short fat kid". In Poker, HE is the one who takes shots at the "short fat kids" of Poker.

The point you are missing is that the short fat kid didn't deserve to be picked on and did nothing to warrant being picked on. When you dish it out, you have to be able to take it. You don't think guys like Matusow and Hellmuth dish it out? Hellmuth tells people they can't spell poker while Matusow just calls them idiots.... and I'm supposed to feel sorry for these guys?? Are you being for real?

When you post a blog like the one Phil did, it would be an outright crime if no one made a parody of it!

Is that you Dutch?

beat me to it, damn you Negreanu

April 1st....

Very good points.

Best

Blog

Ever

AINEC

Particularly if you happened to read Hellmuth's blog before DN's.

Nobody is picking on the fat kid on a basketball court, your job is to stuff him, to make sure the shot doesn't go in. Stuffing him isn't the issue, its how much pride should you take in it? That you made fun of him is one thing, its that everyone is acting like it was hard to do or that you "got him" is what I guess I take issue with. I walked up a flight of stairs, where is my thunderous applause? You shouldn't be patted on the back for doing it, you should be ridiculed and laughed at if you couldn't do it. Being able to shred someone like Helmuth is a bare minimum, as low as the pole can go type of achievement. That some found it amusing is one thing, I did, but I won't and neither should others be acting like you stuffed Jordan.

ps I don't really care all that much, as I said in my first post this is mostly just a salmon swimming against the stream type of rant. Everyone is all kissing your *** and high fiving you I just thought I'd be contrary for contrary's sake and point out the obvious. You got him but, big deal, anyone that has two brain cells they can rub together should be able to do that. Maybe it was just the way everyone was falling all over themselves to pat you on the back that got stuck in my craw. *shrug* I should expect it. You are (at least in the poker world) famous and it probably comes with the territory.

You remind me of the robots in that episode of the Simpsons where it's the future and Lisa is getting married and when the robots showed emotion by crying they immediately exploded except that I would replace crying with laughing in your case implying that you are so tightly wound up you can't just read something and laugh about it and move on with your life.

Um, I mean, lighten up.

I think I speak for just about everyone when I say, I'm not stuffing any fat kid on the basketball court or anywhere else for that matter. You should get that looked at.

You remind of that Simpson's where Homer gets way into a tv show, and he makes screen names based on it and whenever he wants to make a point he can only do it by refrencing the show cause he really had no valid point to begin with. lolz

Um, I mean, so only if you are in here to kiss *** are you allowed to post and if you aren't kissing *** its not because your not an *** kisser its bacause you can't move on with your life? That reminds of the Simpson's where.......

Besides Futurama > Simpsons anyway.

FYP.
