Phil Hellmuth....don't like him?

I like reading Bluff magazine. In fact I rank it as one my favorite poker magazine to read. Especially when I go out to eat lunch at my favorite chinese restaurant. But last week when I went to a grocery store to look for the latest Bluff magazine I spotted it and quickly grabbed it without giving much thought about the content on the front cover and bought it. I then went to my favorite chinese restaurant for an hour of relaxation did I noticed the garish grin of Phil Hellmuth holding his past WSOP bracelets including his recent 11th one.

Ok. Good. He's good at poker. So what. I don't care for his bratty attitude. I don't care for him stroking his ego by staring into his mirror saying "You're the best! You're the best!" and repeating to himself that great things will happen to him. And his "blackbelt poker" video? Please, don't even try buying that video with a title like that. And I wonder if it's his subconscious desire on wanting to be a black belt martial artist while growing up as a skinny kid? Probably can't even punch his way out of a wet paper bag.

Wax on..wax off. Wax on...wax off. Wax on...wax off.

Pretty much what all good poker players do at the table with their repetitive motion on checking the cards and throwing them away.

Check cards. Throw away. Check cards. Throw away. Check cards. Throw away.

And the one last thing I didn't like about the front cover of Bluff mag with Phil Hellmuth grinning away? His gawd off yellow-stained teeth! Check it out. I'm serious. Take a look at the magazine itself and see the garish color. I wonder why the editors of Bluff didn't have the foresight to at least air brush his teeth to be a bit more whiter? Why didn't they do that?

Oh yeah, maybe they secretly do not like Phil Hellmuth, too. And they left that garish, yellow stained teeth grinning away like a bad Cheshire cat on the front cover of Bluff magazine for the world to see.

Congrats, Phil.

Remember to brush your teeth the next time.
