    well, one is has been one of the top online players in the world for years, and the other won a few live donkaments back when the fields were small.

    The idea that anyones seen enough hands from either to judge is a bit flawed, but on the face of it Durr has always impressed me more.

    The fact that one beats high-stakes online cash and the other would struggle to beat 1-2, is a good enough indicator, imo.

    Absolutely, he's so self-congratulatory, but frankly, it would take a gobsh!te not to figure out that old geezer had a monster after his check behind on the flop.

    Heads up SNGs have a bucketload of variance. Dwan had pocket 10s, 63 BB deep and Hellmuth had Aces. Dwan was actually considering folding but called and hit his 2 outer.

    I don't know how you can say one is better or worse than the other from that meeting.

    Phil is a super-tight-aggressive player who couldn't mix it up if he had an egg beater.

    Phil Helmuth vs Gus Hanson

    "WTF you played 4 deuce off suit against me?....I waited 365days for that AQ and you call me....you f#*king amateur do you know who I am?" /childlike tantrum over

    No No No No No

    Wolverine is made up, and James Bond is a poncey prick that relies on gadgets and special effects. Jason Bourne would easily kill both of them

    In a fight, I'd take Jason Bourne alright, but in Poker, James Bond would beat anyone in the World... (also, genuine LOL, Wolverine is made up while the other 2 aren't :D, you're on form HJ, keep em coming)
