Poker Player Profiles


Paul Phillips
     
Paul Phillips has been a big hit on the World Poker Tour, including his win at the Bellagio in 2003 with a payout of over $1 Million. Some say, however, Paul does not "play poker for the money." Paul was a top executive at an internet company, and received a huge payout during the internet stock boom, thus earning the nickname "dot com." Paul is an enigmatic warrior at the poker table, always talkative, and usually involved in the big pots. He has been to several final tables recently, including several at the 2004 World Series of Poker. His vast poker knowledge and ability to read opponents makes Phillips a very dangerous player in the various games he plays. Paul Phillips is a player you will see a lot of on televised poker games over the next several months, and he shows no signs of slowing down.

his webiste is so lame. he kicks people off who disagree with him (and prove him wrong) yet keeps all the a$$-kissing cronies around to stroke his damaged EGO.
Smart? Yes
Good at cards? A little.
Big nerd who still can't get a good lay with millions? Oh yeah.
Thinks he's God? Nope.
hinks he's BETTER than God??? Yeah
Is good friends of Englishcat? Sadly, yes.

PokerRookie

Anyone who talks sh*t about this guy is a p*ssy if you ask me. He was smart enough to make a lot of money when internet/software companies went kaboom. I respect him a lot. You should too because he could buy you ten times over. Most of the other players are wimps compared to him. He already beat the crap out of people in his field, now he's coming to kick more ass in poker.

maybe the best player in the world.talks about being able to take a risk because he can but it seems to be his downfall to me.anyway best of luck to paul. PS. stop acting so femme

In it for the ego - you're playing the wrong game pal. Go back to the computer nerd.

He doesn't care about losing $10K? It looks like he's playing for pride/the love of the game. So many of you think you're better than him? enter a professional tournament and finish in at least 50th place. Otherwise just keep your pessimism to your self, and watch more WPT.

after whatchin him on NBC's heads up tourney, ... man,how satisfying it was seein him lose against phil hellmuth (hellmuth ends up winnin the whole tournament)...not a big fan of cocky computer nerds.(i know, hellmuth's kinda of a nerd too...but he is an awesome poker player, and he is just as interesting as gus hansen, daniel negreneau, men the master,etc. to whatch on T.V.)

Gus wannabe
May 4, 2005
I think that guy is a fan of Gus though Gus is younger... hahaha... he followed Gus Hansen everywhere and dressed almost like him, shaved his hair like him, etc... He even said "Gus would have played that one"... the proof that he follows Gus too much... hahaha

this guy is horrible.... mel judah pummeled him on the wpt and he sucked on tj cloutier for all his money.... not good at all and has no right to rip hellmuth... thats like dennis rodman telling jordan he needs to impove his jumper

Come on people You have to come with something better than uh uh if i was that rich i could do good to..uh uh 25k is nothing to him so he does stupid things and gets lucky. Give the guy some credit....oh wait cant do that bc hes rich and you losers are broke QUIT HATIN!

LuckyMan
March 20, 2005
This guy is no better at poker than any amateur who played a ton in his spare time and read a few books on poker theory. The only thing that sets him apart is that he isn't scared to get knocked off because "it's only $10k" or "it's only $25k", and he doesn't care about his reputation at all so he'll sometimes get all his chips in on idiotic plays and when he gets lucky and wins, he doubles through.

Such perfect people writing in... How many of you can say you have accomplished what he has. I met him at the Shooting Stars tournament - my husband played at his table. Can't anyone take some healthy sarcasm anymore? Be careful not to judge people before you get to know them. Best of luck with your arrival next month. P

I'll admit he's pretty femme. I don't think he's gay though. I've known guys from Idaho who act like him. Is he from Idaho? If so I'd say he's straight. If he's from California and acts like that, then yeah, he's gay. I can't stand Hellmuth either.

He also hates Phil Hellmuth and bashes him constantly.He uses a Phil Hellmuth chip as his card holder as a sort of insult towards phil.Figured that would make the Hellmuth fans happy

Although a good player I wouldnt go as far as to say dominant. Played extremely poorly on Legends of Poker and basically threw away a title which I feel anyone with any skill couldve one in that position. At Belagio, played better poker, but still when your playing for a million dollars its strange to let your whole tournament ride on a race. Final Word: Ok but not great

I don't care what anyone says, I think he's hot & I wish he wasn't married!

Yeah, he's good. He totally took advantage of Gus Hansen in the WPT. He just raised him with worse crap than Hanson had every time.

I agree with slvsc2, I really think Paul is an excellent poker player, and I love watching him work the table. I have nothing but respect for him! I only hope to follow in his footsteps someday.. *sigh* maybe i'll be the next female Pro!! ;-)

I give the guy credit because he seems to be doing exactly what he wants to do. True, money helps but he earned it. Pokerwise, he's a solid player and he's interesting to watch at a table.

This guy's a cocky little nerd. He is still a descent player though. His aggressive play seems to get it done.

To every body out there Ive seen this guy play , He's good......really good. Lots of respect to all other poker players. But it was him who took out TJ Coutier.I think IM not sure BUt my point being is that u dont get to the final tables by how much money u have, or if your a billionaire. Its all my knowlegde of the game and skill. Besides I bet he can bluff and pull out good hands to beat any of us here, even if we all had the same amount of money as he does . Cause money doesnt matter. Its all in the "mind"."Remember that"

His "company" was go2net.com, like many dotcom sites, it died in the dot com crash. I know, I cashed out selling my popular websites but did not do anywhere near as well as he did, I got caught in the tail end of the crash and now am back at it working with a similar site,
http://www.majorgeeks.com please stop by so I can try this again and be as rich as paul and hated by all ;)

It's amazing everyone feels so strongly about someone they don't know. I happen to know the guy and some others on the tour. Believe it or not, he's a decent guy. As far as his play goes...if you know poker at all then you know he has a lot of skill and results speak for themselves. Not so great at golf though...

Paul's dot com business was either go.com or goto.com. One was sus by the other and there was a big settlement over confusing people with a website that looked just like theirs.. I think it was goto.com said go.com stole a bunch of ideas and ended up getting bought out... I think they were both using green light (street light) logos or something. Paul was in my brother's class in high school...

Does anyone know what KIND of business his dot com business was and who got the short end of the stick when the damned dot com burble burst once Bush was elected, or was his business actually a successful business model that a company is actually making money on still? My guess is that if he's playing poker now, the business model isn't exactly working out that well for the buyer today.

sammifrances/sam/apple

Paul has a seriously smug edge to him during his poker play that makes me think that maybe all the mystery arises from a need to hide something in the past. His is not the normal "poker face" if you know what I mean. There's a real angst in the guy. Punk rocker died red hair now like out of some sci-fi movie. Just a guess, but the company he sold never seems to have a NAME in any of the articles you read about him now because maybe, just maybe - and this is only my own personal guess - is that the company has some sort of sexy naughtiness that his mum might not be proud of, but that is only my personal guess.
