There's a quote floating around somewhere from Doyle where he talks about NEVER telling someone they are playing bad. What good does it do you? If they take you seriously they're either going to A: start playing better (which is bad for you) or B: stop playing all together (which is bad for you too cause you can no longer take their money).

It was such a lucky break, and seeing Hinkle actually apologize for "playing such bad poker" really makes you wonder, with all the criticisms players make of other players choices, what does it really all come down to? Who won? I'm watching the main event lately and it's amazing how hostile the pros are to the amateurs (a lot of them anyway) and I think, wait a minute, thanks to all these first-timers with $10k to spend you now have the chance at a $9MM dollar prize vs. a $400k prize. So, guys like Phil Hellmuth should just quit his bitching and quit belittling the newbies and adjust his game to all the "loose, crazy, internet players" and roll with it. Yeah, saw that one on TV.
