Phil is the most entertaining poker player i have ever played with...his skill and patience makes him the best in the world...maybe 2nd best ever....behind doyle of course...I had the pleasure of getting taken out on pocket queens by phil...And as for sam grizzle...hes a little bitch...P.S. phil's book play poker like the pros is amazing

Phil is definetly one of the best, and is still a fairly young player. But, hes the kind of guy that cant be wrong, he thinks everything he does is perfect and whines when hes beat. He needs to wake up and realize this is poker, everyone has there tough beats, you just have to get over them. Phil, your not perfect, but your extremely good.

Phil, I took your cash in a side game in Tunica during the world series of poker. You try to bully all that play, but you can't bully me as you remember. Not bad taking over $6,000 mainly from you in that stud game! Stick to tourneys!

Hes good at what he does everyone acts differently when they have bad beats phil likes rolling up on the floor. i like going to the video games and playing boxing or something and punching the wall after a bad beat. Ive had my bad beats and ive almost lost it but i havnt seen him totally lose it. AND ALCOHOL DOES MAKE U DO STUPID STUFF LOL.

How can you like a middle aged man that cries to his mother when he loses????? You would think that Sam would have smarted him up but nope, he's still the same whiney, little cry baby that he always was!

Phil makes the greatest calls and folds

Nice line about him crying to his mother. I don't think this guy has ever been laid. And I believe he's married. Phuckin' dork.

This guys a phuckin grown up cry baby !!!!Im 15 and i act more mature than him when i lose a hand!!! LOL

Someone get this guy a diaper

u gotta love this guy tho..and recently it seems he only loses on the worst beats..check wsop 2k3 and all the wpt events...but stu ungar is till the best player ever...

never change phil

hellmuth is the best ever, watching him play poker is better than sex

Has this guy ever had a girlfriend in his life? Has he ever gotten laid? I always just see him break down into tears after he gets knocked off and go hug his mommy. Great poker player but such a dork!

i really hope you read this phil if your sooooooooooo great please give me a chance of a life time 2 play you heads up i think your great but i know u hate gambling poker players come on phil heres a challenge for you

Do you think this guy ever gets laid? The Queer has a ton of cash and I bet even fat chicks turn him down. Whata fuckin' dork.

NINE WSOP bracelets. Yeah, what a fish

I read this guys book and not only did I like it but it improved my game... With that said I cant stand him... Although he is a good player is is also a good cry baby.

There are a ton of people better than Phil besides brunson, take the great Johnny Moss for example. There are many others if you need more proof.

A ton of people don't have nine WSOP bracelets, Kaos.

You will never again win the World series of Poker.

your days of being the best are limited.......beezee is about to make his pro debut

Check out Phil's graceful back flop on the World Poker Tour after Toto took all of Phil's chips with a winning draw on the River. Gimme Helmuth, Scottie Nguyen, Dutch Boyd, Sam Grizzle, Amir Vahidi, Sam Farha and The Nature Boy at the feature table and we'll make you forget the final "Friends" episode... Now that's entertinment!!!!!

phil annoys me, but is funny when he makes fun of sam grizzle

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question of mine... when you win a poker tournament, is any of your winnings taken as a result of taxes? thanks!

Phil ur a good player but it pained me to see u get pwned by Toto in the U.S championship

met phil at the bellagio last year,he was really nice and chatted and signed autographs,terrible breath though.

People, Phil had Tito totally picked off and suffered a horrible beat. I'd have fallen down too. Watching that sucked.

Look all you fine folks. Phil is one of the best poker players of our time. But this year he is working on other things. why work on other thing if poker is so profitable? Just a tought mako.

9 braclets, enough said.

Phil's great, but he doesn't like it when people beat him on hands that he feels should have been folded or what he feels are bad calls on the part of the other players...what he doesn't realize is that people know his game and that is why he gets schooled fairly often

Don't know you personaly...heard of you...seen you play on t.v...you got mad responses here...good and bad. I hope one day I can make you go broke again...

Man you are pathetic. I played you at a small tourney in atlantic city and i took you out with a 3 4 suted. you had a king 10 off suit and the flop was K,4,4, HAHA. you realy dont know me.. Im number one. everybody knows that!sory budy but i finished 1st winning 12 grand!!! Bought a picture of you with some of that money and gotta homeless person to piss on it.

Just finished my first look all the previous postings. WOW I have never seen such poor spelling and grammar in one place. The fact that Phil can play poker for a living, and has for almost two decades, says volumes about his abilities. I bet he can even spell and probably has a mastery of the English language, whinning included.

i hate phil helmuth and he is the biggest whiner in all the poker land. if he would shut up and play for a second maybe he would do better. my favorite helmuth line is, "Why did you call with a Queen-Jack offsuit?" after he has been knocked out of yet another tournament.

Yes, Hellmuth is quite a whiney loser, and I love seeing whiney losers lose. It was quite amusing watching him get completely decimated by Hoyt Corkins on the WPT recently. I can't wait to see him lose again.

A big girl, whiny assed loser, poor winner, eve worse loser and with all that quite possibly the best ever tournament poker player in history. Don't you guys get that he chooses to be a bad loser because it helps him win ? All you idiots who are challenging himand saying you will clean him out would just be tilting fish in a barrell to this guy, just like many others have been in past tourneys.I can't say I like the way Phil plays but hey it's his style and it works, it just doesn't do it for me but I can still respect his play.

At least HackerJack understands a little about the game of poker. It is a game of perception. Phil Hellmuth has created for himself the perfect image. Almost every single person that has commented in this post would be at such an incredible disadvantage to him because you hate him so much. Anybody that has the acknowledgments in poker that Phil does has an incredible grasp on himdelf and the game of poker. He makes very few mistakes, and when he does, it is because he made an incorrect read on a person, not because he is an idiot. Read some more books, play some more poker, and create your own winning style of play. Complaining about someone who is whining is never going to make you a better poker player. Maybe you could even learn something from watching him.

yeah shifty, phil was in the taj playin 200-400 and he won every hand just cuz he got every1 scared and on tilt. this guy will cut u up so fast u won't even know it

Hellmuth is a plonker. Looking forward to him getting a smack in the mouth for his attitude. Long live the devilfish

Phil is a whiner, but that is part of his personna. Someone should give himj a pacifer at the tourneys! Phil is a good player but he does not read people as well as he thinks and he needs to work on his sportsmanship, especially since he wants poker to get the attention and be in the same class as golf. As I recall, he had a really hard time reading Hoyt Corkins at Fozwoods 2003, whom he said gave him nightmares for months after Foxwoods 2003. I was diasppointed to see Phil ignore Hoyt's outstretched hand to shake when Phil went out. To me a great poker player includes one who is a good sport and congenial loser. You were outplayed, and outsmarted, and outlasted Phil and you should have been man enough to shake the hand of the man who took you down.
