Let's put that comment in perspective...
I believe the main reason for Phil's success is what he muttered under his breath at a table a few years later as someone told him how great a player he was. He said: "I don't think I' m that good.

Zero MTT wins and I have plenty to show for my poker play. I have cashed every month (except last month where one losing session put me down about -$100 net for the month), play better and have fun. You keep talking up "taking big shots." Well, at least 4 of your big shots came in and you still owe people money.

I play 9/18 over there now, thank you (recently put in my 3rd biggest daily loss and felt pretty good about it.) Prior to that I mostly played 4/8 because the bigger games in Washington just aren't very good. Particularly for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of social engineering talent.
