Phil Hellmuth - what a d**k

[GBPACKERFAN]

Saw the latest espn 2008 world series clip last night. Is it just me or is this guy a complete azzhole? So the amateur out played you after the flop = big focking deal, give the amateur credit vs calling the guy an idiot.

Has there ever been a documented event where Hellmuth got his azz kicked when his antics pushed someone over the edge? Thought that amateur guy handled that pretty well (better then I would have) and then to boot he showed his 10/4 to rub it in Hellmuth's face. Nice!!!!!

If it was me, I would walk over to Hellmuth and whisper in his ear (on camera) and tell him "fock off you prima donna queen" but of course I'll never get that opportunity in reality. Would like to see someone put him in his place on camera.

It's a big act, really. I have know and played with Phil for years and he is putting on an act for the cameras. Its what they want him to do on TV. Kinda funny, but it get people to watch.

 

[GBPACKERFAN]

If it's just an act, do the TV producers tell ALL the players it's just an act? His antics does get the public/tv watchers attention, I'll give ya that.

If some player pulled that shyt on me (and I didn't know it was an act) even at my local 1/2 NL game/casino, that player would find my foot up his azz accordingly.

Next time you play with Hellmuth tell him if he wants to act = go join the WWF and all them actors.

helmuth is a good player. but he's an asshole. i never watch when he's on.

 

[johnnydngrs]

i got to agree that its just a act for tv, i kinda find it funny but i guess its cuz i aint the one he's calling an idiot. he did get punched once for his antics, i believe it was sam grizzle

I have not seen or played poker with Philly for some 14 years. From 1988 thriugh 1992 I played with him many times. It is NOT an act.

I have no personal gripes against Phil, but he has always been annoying at the table.

Whos not annoying, I would rather sit next to Phil then some of these AM radio station types who dont stop talking.

 

[svj888]

I'd eat it up.

You know you've arrived once you get chewed out by Hellmuth.

 

[terps1313]

If it was anyone else it would bother me, but I know its just a act. The guy is a class act and liked by all of the poker world. He just acts like an idiot for TV.

 

[OTK]

He's maybe the best poker player in the world, he's allowed to be an asshole. Like Rail said, I'd rather be at a table with him than the idiots that don't stop talking about shit nobody cares about. Phil's funny and is an incredibly smart poker player. If i was starting a table him and negraneau would be 1 and 2 on my list.

 

[5-0SAT]

He's the only reason i watch, without him, it's impossible to watch. He's undoubtedly the best player in the world.

He's Far From The Best

Tournament, No Limit Hold Em, maybe. But he would go broke in an hr in a hi level $$ game. Phil Ivey for one would eat his lunch. There are guys you've never heard of that know he's a joke in the cash game world. And yes, Ol Sam did kick his ass, spotted him 30 yrs, 8" & 40 #!! Helmuth's a chickenshit pussy, just look @ his stupid whiny face when he's on a rant, that's serious and NO JOKE. Brunson, Ivey, and the REAL Pros can't stand the fucker. Always calling "honey" to that ugly pig of a wife.:fckmad:

 

[GoBlue34]

If he did that to me, I would give him a hard time right back, call his wife a pig, something very personal.

What's amazing to me is no one talks back to him. I wouldn't punch him or anything, but I would make him shut up with some personal insults.

 

[billhill999]

Overrated player.
Johnny Chan can kick his ass
So can Doyle.
The late Stu Under would have owned him.
The list is endless.

So because he's a great poker player he can denigrate other people? Fuck that. He called Dragomir an idiot 5 times, even Matasow stopped laughing and told him he's way over the line. How he doesn't get his ass kicked twice a week is a mystery to me.

 

[GBPACKERFAN]

Hahahahahaha, got to love his "youngest" record has now been broken even though Hellmuth himself said "that's a record that no one will beat."
Fock off Hellmuth you self proclaimed best player. He's a drama queen, can't wait for someone to deck him while the camera are rolling.

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

And it was beaten by a guy Hellmuth denigrated earlier in the tournament, calling him a Northern European Idiot.

Poetic justice.

big play-did you used to play just outside madison? if so do you remember WAYNE TYLER OR POOKIE. Kind of lost track of the group

 

[papicker]

only time i ever watch on tv is the wsop on espn, i do find hellmuth entertaining, people cant talk back to him really because he is far more accomplished then the players he berates.
