POKER INFO - PROILE - Paul Phillips
 

1st comment and nothing to say

I hate this guy more than anything! Everytime i see this dude I want to sock him in the face!

Oh I'm a billionaire how is a sooo cool...money doens't mean anything to me? If that is the case PAUL... why don't you donate it to charity like Rosen (what ever his last name is) give your winnings to the needy AH

Barry GreenStein thats his name...a great poker player...

I think you are all a bit JEALOUS of his money AND his poker skills. Ive never seen him play, but his success is impressive thus far. Oh, and i think he made it past the wannabe stage in all aspects of his life.

How far do you have you nose up his ass??? Next your gonna tell me is that Van Patten is the greatest poker player ever. I'm pretty sure you need to be sniffing more kitty than this guys balls!

He has made 2 WPT final tables and won one event. Doesnt really matter what you guys that have never done it post. His record says it all. He's a WINNER. Like it or not.

Paul Phillips has a livejournal, much respect for that![url]www.livejournal.com/users/extempore[/url]

Any idea what his company was that he sold to get rich?

I would also like to know the company he made his money from

open question, is paul really any good? Or does having alot of money make you careless and hard to beat?

cant we all just get along?

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.

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.

Paul Phillips is my idol, he is a great poker player, and he shouldnt donate his money to charity. Paul Phillips is the best.

All you idiots which hate the guys are the real losers here.This guy has great poker knowledge and did make the final not because of his money.

cardplayer.com says Paul worked for go2net. I've got nothing but respect for Paul and his accomplishments.

when i first saw his guy, thought he was dead money. He is actually pretty darn good, not just some rich idiot, respect to the man, hes also very entertaining on the table.

Paul is the next big thing in poker. Show him some respect.

Paul Phillips is a outstanding player and is one of the worlds best only 2nd place to people like Dave The devilfish Ulliott

god, some of u guys are hatin on paul hardcore. relax a bit, if u have seen him play(and ur a tru poker fan) then u would respect his play

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...

Hey Look At My Im An Idiot Who Over Values Small Pocket Pairs...."2c2d im all in"

hes a great poker player, so wat ifhe goes all in wiht 22 its a coin flip, hes a risk taker

paul is a good player but he also admitted that he doesnt feel the pressure because he has all that money

next time you loose a big pot in a cash game be a man and just walk away instead of acting retarded and making a seen.this guy put his hands all over the money then got up and started dancing. low class. go back to internet whatever!

hey guys... thanks for the feedback

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...

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, [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com[/url] please stop by so I can try this again and be as rich as paul and hated by all ;)

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"

how old is Paul Phillips

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

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.

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!! ;-)

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

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

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

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.

this guys is a goodplayer...but hes not even in the same category as hellmuth...i read this guys blog from time to time,,total jerk,,,he thinks he's alot better than he is...after he gets 9 wsop braclets than mabe he will have room to talk, until then he needs to respect the ppl that have earned their stripes...
