Yup, Hellmuth seems like an outlier in the sense that he doesn't have an addiction to gambling. He not only does BR management well, he doesn't seem to place all kinds of goofy side bets on golf or whatever that people like Negreanu and Ivey do.
Also, I sometimes wonder how much of his tilting persona is just done to mess with people's heads. If you were clever, you might think well, if they think I'm pissed off all the time they're going to expect me to do X, then I'll do Y instead. But it does seem like whatever he's doing is always calculated, not just tilting, even though he looks like he's tilting 90% of the time. I wonder.
