The player with the most tournament wins at the World Series of Poker says he's no longer avoiding aggressive opponents who threaten to knock him out of the main event this year.
"This year I decided, let's play online poker," Phil Hellmuth told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "All those amateurs making all those crazy moves on me that they got away with in the past, this year I'm calling."
The 11-time gold bracelet winner has been known to avoid plays for all his chips in the past, because he believes he can outplay others without giving them a chance to get lucky.
That means that opponents have simply shoved all-in against him to respond to his extra-tight play.
"This year, when I do have a strong hand I win tons of chips because everybody's overplaying their hand against me," said Hellmuth, who won the no-limit Texas Hold 'em main event 20 years ago. "That's been a good strategy for players against me for years, is to just get all their money in, but not this year.
