I guess we'll just agree to disagree.  I don't condone his actions, but I fail to see how you can argue with his results over such a long period.  You talk about sample size but there are few people (if any) who can come close to Helmuth's live tournament sample size, and certainly his WSOP sample size.  You seem to have a chip on your shoulder and can't get past your dislike for him, but the man deserves respect for his particular speciality, which is large field amateur-heavy tournaments like WSOP events.

Again, #1 in WSOP bracelets.  #1 in WSOP cashes (95!).  #1 in WSOP final tables (49!).  #3 in earnings (and only reason he's not #2 behind Ivey is Antonio's artificially inflated ranking from One Drop).  2nd in POY last year with a virtual lock on it this year (Merson must take down the ME to overtake him).  Given his performance over the past 2 consecutive years, you cannot rationally argue that he's not relevant in today's live MTT scene.

I'm not saying he's the most skilled tournament player walking the earth today, and he's certainly not the most well rounded player, but in terms of big tournaments nobody can touch those stats either.  I find it pretty laughable that you can't even admit that.
