No Mike, I guess you really are one of the best poker players in the world today. All I
am saying is that in 14 years of playing 'the tour', I have never seen you win a
tournament before and I have never seen you play in a sidegame before. I am just
wondering why you claim to be one of the best poker players around, is all. I have a
lot of respect for your writing and believe you to be honorable, honest and great for
poker.

How did I know you would attack that? My point here was supposed to be that the
greatest poker players in the world are the ones who make (or have made) a lot of money
'playing' poker, I am sorry for not making that clearer. Again I respect the way that
you write theory and market yourself. Without having ever achieved too much in poker
you seem to have become more famous then Doyle and 'Amarillo Slim.'

Ouch! Thats true, I was steaming in a message that I left for you. You can imagine
what I thought when I told you about my idea to have a World Championship of online
poker in late August 1999 and then to read September 14th or so that you were
implementing that very idea at Planet Poker. Of course, you and I talked about it after
that and I said I was sorry and left the issue for dead. I have always enjoyed my
interactions with you actually.

Sklansky Malmuth

Even now, when you mock me I enjoy the interactions, I am just not willing to concede to
you that you are one of the top twenty poker 'players' in the world as of yet. I think
that you have been unchallenged so long at RGP, that you are starting to believe that
you actually are one of the best poker players in the world today. I don't think so and
am wondering why you do think so. One last time I will say that I respect you, your
writing skills and the way that you market yourself. Also, I believe that you are
honorable, honest and great for the poker world.

Have a nice day, Phil Hellmuth
