He's a good poker player, but I think he's playing a bit of a coward
and gets angry a little quickly

That proves poker is a game for everyone, no matter the personal character, state of mind, social position nor anything at all.

Post here if you like hom, and write in your honest opinion his strenghts and weaks! Ta-la !

Me myself i think he is the best player in the world! Anyway, one of the greatests!
Phil is an excellent player. He wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't. Anyone who thinks he's excessive and "over-the-top" w/his extravagant entrances and blow-ups are right but don't get stuck on that distraction. He's just bringing attention to the game and giving folx something to tweet about. I'd have him on my team any time. (y)

And I must say that in these times of players that look like bots, don’t say a word, no nice reactions to anything, that takes 30 secs to fold pre flop rags, etc, makes Phil look even better.

While I recognize that Hellmuth has had an amazing poker career, it gets annoying watching someone do things that would see me banned from the casino if I was to do the same.

Yet when I see a broadcast involving him, I can't help but watch. It has gotten less about the poker and more about hoping someone bluffs him out of a big pot so I can watch him bitch and complain.

If that makes me a fan, then so be it. I like to think of it more as hate watching. :D

Honestly - I don’t dislike him.
I dislike what he represents.

Whenever I see some annoying, boisterous person at the table, I get the feeling that their “immaturity” is inspired by him.

I don’t want to be playing against Phil Hellmuth… unless it’s Phil Hellmuth.

In a big field No limit tournament he's clearly one of the best players, knowing when to switch gears and run over weak players.

If he's in a TV cash game line up, he's a guilty pleasure to watch; everyone is hoping he gets bluffed out of a huge pot.

He's awesome, he has brought more people into the game than anyone else, because people always want to talk about him. Great for the game.

He is a very good player, one of the best. But, what a crybaby. He thinks he should never lose a hand. Anyone with half a brain knows that's not possible.

I personally appreciate him as a poker player and entertainer. In general, it is probably a very controversial person but numbers speak for themselves and skills he has in any case!

Well, I like him, but he overdoes it sometimes with some strange and totally unnecessary risky plays, but has a good style of play.

Phil may someone like or not like it, but this does not affect his achievements in poker.

well, of course, he is hardly one of the strongest players in the world), if we take the technical side of his game, then online, I think even nl100 regulars would gladly agree to play with him, not to mention high rollers), Phil is rather one of the greatest showmen in the world of poker, although recently he has already begun to annoy many, well, offline in certain lineups, he can still compete
