You see...I am the opposite. I hate drama..I hate crybabies (even if it is an act)..
I really feel the game has outgrown Hellmuth. I won't be surprised to see him win another bracelet..christ, he plays enough tournies, he should.
He is obviously a great player, but, the game is changing and he isn't. With the onset of all the internet players it is becoming a faster, more push/shove game. While this shouldn't change the dynamics of the strategical game...it does..it takes away some of the pot odd advantages, positional advantages and just makes for more..well..."sit down and hang on" play. Players refusing to change will be left behind.
That all being said...I would love to suck out on him and have him go off...just to look at him and laugh...lol
But the kicker is, he's fun to watch. He's so stuck on himself that he thinks everyone on the planet should be interested in what he's doing/thinking.
My dream would be to be at a table with him and like others have mentioned, totally suckout on him repeatedly. Just to watch him freakout!
Elezra strikes me as a grumpy old man. Sammy is silky smooth . . .
I'd love to play with Sammy, but I'd keep an eye on my wallet at all times, so to speak.
Elezra...good player, but exciting to watch? Don't really get that from him.

This is pretty cool. Of course... he's sitting there with a HUGE stack and a HUGE grin on his face.
Here's a classic one...

Last month at the canadian open I met him for the first time and he was very polite. It really is a TV act.
Not my favorite, but I think he is all right. If I had to judge by TV alone, wouldn't and didn't care for him much.
Gotta respect all that WSOP bling though!
wish i was there to see that
