I agree with Bryn Kenney, I think that to be the best in the world you must play high-level games, and I think Phil Hellmuth is not very good at that, he has many wsop bracelets, where amateurs also participate, but at a high level I think not It's like that.

Phil Hellmuth is not a weak player and this player denigrates him for no reason. Why doesn't he have more bracelets than Phil? there are several kinds of games poker where professional players are better or weaker, but in the end they are professionals.

everyone has the right to say that someone is a weak player, but I don't think it's right, after all, they are great poker players and they shouldn't insult each other, they are colleagues in a way and like to play poker, in big tournaments anything can happen poker is an unpredictable game and you need a lot of luck

I think you are very right Bryn Kenney Phil Hellmuth is a normal player, he is very weak, many high-level players say so, I think Phil Hellmuth is very good when he plays with low-level players, but in high stakes at high levels they beat him.

Maybe he is the G.O.A.T of WSOP, due to his many bracelets or WSOP overall winnings . But we cannot say that he is the GOAT of poker generally ..the numbers speak for this truth . Kenney is right .

always kenedy, I always see this player playing big tournaments, he recently played a 250k buy-in tournament, the biggest tournament, in my humble opinion whoever wants to be the best has to play with the best in big tournaments or in large cash.
