Hey in regars to phil losing at wsop0....wasnt it hilarious when norm chad...thr announce said that phils new book should be" cry like a baby" when phil busted out. I know this is about Phil hellmuth .. but isnt norm chad the best? hes so witty lol

phil is the john mcenroe of poker and my favorite player. get his books.

Phil, you are a great poker player and my poke hero but I'm coming for you remember my name!

I think Phil is awesome...who cares if he gets mad when he loses who doesn't. I wish Phil would make it to more final tables but I'm sure he does too. Phil would be fun to sit by in a tournement

Some of you apparently didnt believe it was really me when I posted my tip about 9-4 being better than QQ, but for those of you who know, here's another golden nugget: J7 is a MUCH stronger hand than people realize. if 8 9 10 comes on the board, no one will EVER think you have J7. Also since your cards are far apart in range, it adds a lot more hidden possibilities to your hand. not to mention if three 7's hit the board. Imagine that! you'd have quads! So you pretty much always want to raise big with J7.

phil has definetly got a case there.I'd like to reccommend Q5.Think about it,have you ever lost a hand with Q5

Phil is definitley a great player. However, I like him the most because his constant whining is very amusing. The sad part is that he's serious.

Hi Phil, My name is Emily and I'm 14 years old. I love poker and I think you are a great player, but you need to work on being more of a gentleman. When I'm 21 I plan on going to the main event and kicking your butt. LOL!! See you in 7 years.

Phil is one of the best players of all time. He has nine bracelets, that takes a lot of skill to accomplish. Besides that, he's definetly enteraining to watch.

Sammy the brick is fool.People are joking about J7 being a good hand!,don't you understand when someone is joking?obviously not or you wouldn't have written a thesis in answer to someones post.

Back again kids. First I'd like to thank the late stu ungar for his thoughts. Q5 is indeed another 'hidden premium' as we Pros like to call them. The reason the typical amateuer doesnt understand the hidden benefits of playing these overlooked hands is because the theory is very complex. It really does take someone like me, Phil Helmuth, to understand it. Part of being humble is realizing one's true abilities, and denying my world class mastery would be a lack of humility. At least thats what this guy Sammy the Prick tells me when he emails me every 20 minutes or so. Geez, how do I block that guy's emails? i need a restraining order or something. some kind of fatal attraction going on.Anyway I'll be back again next time to try to explain the complex theory of hidden premiums. Good luck to all!

He probabally had a high fever as an infant and it affected his motor skills too.

well phill i know its wednesday night and your probably out at the tables or with your wife but i wanted to know ,when you get some time, what a kid at nineteen should be doing to get started playing higher limit poker games. Your a big fan of mine, i know you started playing less hands because amatuers wouldnt let you just pick up pots and it seems the same for me my table image has gotten to the point where i have to have it because everyting is gettiing called all the way down. so i guess some advice would be great thanks man.

Phil played in his first satellite at the Golden Nugget...very nice young man then and always was when he played in my satellites,I know, I was there...Best to you Phil and your family

He's a jerk. Period. I'm tired of Phil telling us that he is working on his attitude. He knows he can't. If Phil stopped telling us he was a poker brat he'd be just another player. When Annie busted him in the WSOP Tournament of Champions he could only focus on her odds of winning. She got into his head and out-played him. Period. He is a great player but as long as he keeps this attotude he'll never reach his potential.

Hey Phil I have more respect for you now than ever before.I did my report on you for my speech class and I got a 97% on it. Thanks alot. LOL. Just remember in 7 years I will be putting a new definition to the term "filabuster". LOL

meet phil hellmuth "The Poker Dick " at foxwoods he's too busy counting his money to spend a minute with the public. he should take a lesson from "Texas Dolly" now he's a REAL GENTLEMAN!

Everyone Knows Phil Hellmuth Cannot Beat The Biggest Live Games.he Has The Bracelets And Is A Fantastic No Limit Tournement Player,but The Truth Is He Wont Play With The High Stakes Players Because He Cant Control His Steaming.if You Steam In A Tourney You Lose Your Chips And Get Knocked Out Losing Your Buy In,in The Cash Games Theres No Limit To The Amount You Can Lose And Phil Hasnt Got The Skills Needed To Beat These Games.cash Games Are The Bread And Butter For Poker Players And Phil Hellmuth Cant Play With The Best In The World.

I enjoy watching everyone in poker but Phil. His attitude is horrible, but I recently saw him state on TV that he was working on it. I believed him until I saw him act like such a baby when Annie beat him in TOC. Work a little harder, Phil, or you will go down the tubes.

Philly babyget down to Hull...I'll play you £100k H2H anytime...

phil you need to grow up or stop playing poker..your just a washed up has been...move over loser

Phil Hellmuth is the man. So he whines...so what. I saw one guy start bursting out crying in these years WSOP when he got knocked out. The TOC was 2 mil to the winner, 0 to 2nd place. Whatever the reason for his loss, his being pissed off is understandable. And his attitude that he is the best player at the table (combined with real skill to back it up) is part of the reason he is so sucessful. Yea he can come across as a whiny biotch but thats why it's fun to see him lose and blow up, too.

Excellent poker player - no secret there. Major cry baby and poor sport - not much of a secret there. I've heard this guy speak in public a number of times, and he always says that it is the TV production crews that make him look like a poor sport, that it is all spin-doctoring. One moment he says he hates that they spin the truth the way they do, then the next moment he is saying he appreciates it because it makes him more known and he makes more endorsement $$$ out of it. What a half-wit! I've seen it in person, this guy is a loon, a total pouting crybaby. Like someone else said - great poker player - pathetic human being. Grow up you little foot stomping child.

Phil really thinks he's the best player around does he??Why cant he play the biggest game then with the best players???

for all the idiots in here that call phil overrated all i have to say is 9 WSOP braclets..also the youngest winner of the main event ever...how can you losers make fun of a world champion player when 99% of you guys have never played poker in a casino before...bunch of wanna be rounders..this guy has earned his stripes while you guys sit home and sleep..he plays for millions why u losers play online for play money...until u accomplish what he has,,,stfu

Sorry, djnpa_30, it doesn't work that way. His poker accomplishments are great however HE sets himself up for this criticism when he chooses to continue to be a jerk. Do you think his agent/manager is telling him to chill? No way. Phil knows that he'd be just another goofy looking white guy playing poker if he kept his emotions in check. He plays up this a-hole image because he knows it sells books and keeps people talking about him. 2500 people at the WSOP final in 2004 and Phil gets the TV time he does because ESPN knows he'll be a jerk. You are correct in your observations about most of the people on this board but Phil made his own bed and regardless of his accomplishments, he'll forever be known as a jerk because of his manner. He is probably comfortable with this because (again) it sells books. BTW - I've heard the same thing about him and cash games. They guy is a great tournament player but when you have to rely on tournament income solely, you can't have a good attitude.

YES Phil has won the wsop main event,youngest ever winner,and 9 wsop bracelets,fanatastic tournement player/cry baby etc etc.Surely the best players make lots of money consistently playing cash.Phil cant do this.Chip reese??ever heard of him?not a big tv star like hellmuth but he is a regular winner in the biggest games at the casino I work at,he is revered amongst all the top players...he isnt broke...and isnt a cry baby.

i agree that phil is a "poker brat" thats a moniker he placed on himeself because like you said,it sells books.i agree he does act like that because its his"image" but lets give the guy his props what he has done in poker is legendary..and seeing him get bashed by a bunch of ppl in here that started playing poker because of espn is unacceptable..ive been playing for only about 5 years or so, but i still respect great players,something these wanna be rounder, espn watching ,play money on the internet losers know nothing about

I love how most of you just respond to what you see on t.v. and chit
