I would classify Helmuth a person that can play great poker, but not a great poker player.  For me, its not just about the tourneys. money he has won      . Its also about having a good attitude when they lose a hand , being a gracious winner, and not always acting like you are the best player at every table you sit down at.   I do not think Helmuth is regarded as 1 of the best cash game players....his one big speciality seems to be hold em tourneys. If it werent for those , he probably would not be as well known , except for he childish attitude at the table.  Ive seen Tom Dwan and Esferondo make offers to Helmuth , to play him for any high stakes, heads up, and Helmuth refuses to do it.

Yes, Helmuth has won alot of tourneys, but lets keep it in perspective. He plays alot of tourneys { maybe more the most other pros}  and is often staked by other people .  Also, his only main event WSOP win, was when the fields were way smaller then the last 15 years .   Has Helmuth even made the final table of a WSOP main event, since his first and only win, years ago ?

In fact, Im more impressed by players like Johnnie Chan , for their skills, live cash game wins and overall attitude when they win or lose at the table.  IMHO, Helmuth is a disgrace to the poker scene.
