Its been said before, but I'll say it again... U guys need to get off his back... gosh. Phil is definately still a winning tournament player, and altho he does very unconvential stuff that in some cases look really bad (because they are). He is still very tough to play against, and as far from a nit as u can be.
He is also very passionate about the game and super competitive. He doesnt put on an act for the cameras. Its who he is. Like it or not, but hes keeping it honest and not trying to hide his feelings, like we're 'suppose' to do nowadays. Yes, curling up in a ball on the floor after busting is kinda drastic, but I know that feeling of busting deep in tournaments when theres nothing in the world that feels more important than being in that moment and wanting to win so bad that it hurts. Its really hard to hold back, and its refreshing to see someone who has the courage to not care about what ppl think about them at all times. I'm a big Hellmuth fan and I always will be.
