"How's the guy supposed to react?"

In Response To: Hellmuth (uvaRick)

HE- SPECIFICALLY- is supposed to react with class- and thank god there are people that play that way.

Why specifically him? Because hes put himself out there- as a recognizable figure- and wants to make his money off of poker- not just through playing. With that comes a big responsibility IMO- to act much differently- than he typically acts.

As far as him 'maturing'- and starting out young- and that his ill-behavior was simply a 'youthful indiscretion'? He hasnt changed. Check him out on the PPMI telecast. But- i think what you saw last night- was a PH cognizant of how important the WPT is to poker- and he acted MUCH better. Hes obviously made a big effort- but its real hard for a leopard to change its spots- or a tiger to change its stripes- or whatever that saying is. :)

I dont blame him for being passionate. But sometimes it presents itself in the wrong way.
