true that. Also he probably thinks he the best thing since bread. Phil Helmuth is egotistical.

My guess is that its 60% act and 40% jacka$$. He tries to put people on tilt with his antics. He tries to make people believe he is on tilt. A lot of times he just gets out played.
Phil thinks he is a better player than he is. He thinks he should be the only one allowed to make moves. If he bluffs and wins he is a genius. If someone bluffs him, their an idiot. If he plays 8 2 offsuit, it is because he is so good. When he loses to the same hand, his opponent is the worst poker player ever.

Nah I kinda like phil his antics are what makes watching the wsop and other events fun, and i always gotta sympathize with a guy who gets called by people for the sole aim of getting him to tilt (Ledrer calling his all in on a PAD?? with K8 to his 88 and spiking a king on the river clearly stating he just wanted to see Phil nerdrage lol)
As for thinking he is the best player, I do admire him as being among the best tournament players of his time though his cash game skillz are not in the same league. Actually prolly after Daniel Helmuth would be my second favourite poker pro.

i think he's just a really bad loser, hates losing, etc.
he usually apologizes for his antics after he has had some time to calm down
classic grizzle vs hellmuth "what if you're a goofball that just catches cards..."

his ego is huge so he feels anytime he loses its not because he played bad, its because his opponent did, so he tries to justify his play to everyone and talk about how his opponent just got lucky.
Having said that, all his peers say he is a baby at the table but one the the nicest guys away from it so its a hard call.

Of course he's as bad as he acts... lol... makes for good entertainment.
I don't feel sorry for his family at all... I've heard accounts from other poker pros that Phil is an excellent & very committed father.
OR how about the >> "Honey.. he's only got mid-pair.. we're way ahead here..." OR >> "Honey.... he called my bet with T4s. Can you even believe it... frk'n T4s...what a f'n IDioT... what a f'n donkey... T4s... can you believe this stuff?!?!?!?!" ... guessing she plays a bit of a motherly role with him, lol
Poor Phil.... you gotta like him (and maybe identify with him at times I'll sadly admit)

I never really like Phil Hellmuth, but when he get angry at people I think its so funny because he can't stand losing. Once he learns how to lose a hand or anything he will be alright, but I think I prefer him being stupid the way he is LOL.

Hey RK..
Not sure if he was like that before TV.. if so then, that is what he uses for one of his intimidation tactics to try and control a table... May have worked for awhile but everyone knows and he hasnt changed.
His Loss!! LOL

The video is halarious I didnt get to see much of the world series this year so I hadnt seen this but I did catch the one where Phil buys drinks for the guys friends and has a side bet on whos hand is better that was pretty funny and nice of Phil. But personally I still cant stand the guy.

There are a lot of very good pro players who can't get sponsorship because nowadays you have to be a fairly good player and a celebrity to boot.
So all the top tv pros have an act and thats hellmuths.
Tv programs like HSP ans PAD don't just want good players they want players that make good entertainment.
Ask this question, who would you want to play against, hellmuth or ivey?
