Message: [QUOTE="finaltable1, post: 5266809, member: 187503"] Charlie Chaplin, the most famous clown in the history, had iQ=140 and played the role of the clown very well. When he was on stage, he performed so well, that he had all attention of the crowd on him. That's how he earned his place in the history. I can't clearly see any difference between Hellmuths and Chaplin behavior. Replace the stage with poker table, replace Chaplin with Helmuth and you'll see that it's the same old engine of manipulation installed in different body. I can't say that this is some type of reverse psychology, but checking the facts I can say for sure that Hellmuth is trying to a) create a image of tilting loser to reduce the influence of his past victories on his present and future opponents and b) he wants poker community to pay attention to his losses c) he wants to increase tilt level of his opponents, if he's still at the table by starting a "tilt drama" of his own. And finally d) Tilt is something that happens to all of the poker players, some people are too shy to act like him, and that's what they like about him, it's the same as 95% of UFC or MMA fans never had fights in their life, but they still admire the fighters. Hellmuth's alternative in UFC is Conor McGregor. Bad boy who catches all publics attention. In the world where tolerance becomes more and more usual thing, those who have zero tolerance will become more and more popular. By the way, it was proven long time ago by genetics that women are more stable and have better immune system. That's why there aren't too many female geniuses, and not too many idiots and criminals, and it also explains why in average females live longer that males. From the other side males are responsible for genetic diversity, that's why there are many geniuses and many idiots among males. During centuries society paid much more attention to people who differ from usual. "Hahhaha- look how dumb he is." + "Oh my - how smart he is" + "Look how strong he is" - that's how we pay respect to those who differ. I think that Hellmuth knows and exploits this very well. Some people in poker world are building their image with clothes, sunglasses, hair and so on. Hellmuths is using emotions to build his image And I also think that Hellmuth understands well how Google Page Rank. It will be a huge victory for him, if being busted in first hour of the tourney he will get more links/views/articles leading to his name than the winner will get. Bad fame still is a fame. :saint: [/QUOTE]
