Message: [QUOTE="beefcake413, post: 1233193, member: 45989"] I'm not excusing some of his behavior, like last year when he called the guy an idiot about ten times (he received a penalty and later apologized to the person). But it is honestly naive to believe that Phil doesn't do pretty much everything he does for a reason. He goes off on some of these rants (yes partially because he's pissed) but partially to get a read. See how people react. Get under people's skin. Piss them off. As I stated, most amateurs do not control their emotions well. You berate their play or "go off" about them and they will be more likely to focus on you and not the poker. Phil does most of the things he does to set up later plays against those very players and if you truly watch him most of the time it works... [/QUOTE]
