Why is Phil Hellmuth such a cry baby?

I love Texas hold em and play all the time and every time i watch it on TV phil has something to whine about. Even when he plays bad he blames it on other people and asks them why they would play that and get four of a kind lol. Its ridiculous. Somebody get this guy a pacifier.

Davido 		Hellmuth is a cry baby because he is the "Poker Brat". It is his media persona and attracts attention because it lets him stand out. Basically, he's just an actor (and a great poker player), trying to market himself. In person, he's a nice guy, as many of the other pros will attest.

jamsey 		Because he has a massive ego and feels better if he tries to fault the other person's play.

ger2000 		It is true that Phil is a brat, however if you see what sets him off it's usually bad play being rewarded. His style of play is very solid and he is very skilled at reading his opponents. The problem is that he has total armatures pushing him with garbage. The generally don't care about what the expected value of their hand is, they just want to say they beat Phil in a hand. An excellent example of this is when Jim Pitman repops Phil at the Main Event holding JK (a marginal hand) and manages to hit his 3 outs on the river.
