I think he's a narcissistic childish embarrassment of a human being.

He's very good for t.v. He may be a big crybaby but he is a good guy for the most-part. I was playing poker at Caesars palace and they were filming the heads-up championship that week and i happen to run into Phil who took the time to sign any autograph and take a picture with me. He just wants to win so bad, that's why he sounds like an idiot when he opens his mouth at the poker table. He has 10 bracelets so they speak for themselves, but i think he is a good guy for the most part go Phil...

I completely agree with poker coach on this one. I mean just watch any WSOP or USPC before 2003, and you'll see Phil Hellmuth commentating or sitting with the commentators. The guy knows what he is doing and what he is saying, he is a very solid player. For anyone who has watched his High Stakes Poker though, he is not that great at cash games. You should know though cash games and tournaments require two completely different styles.

Well, he's a bad loser. But a successful poker player. One of the best NLH player. Winning his 10 Holdem bracelets last year is not a coincidence.
The media give him the nickname of "poker brat" And he know how to use it perfectly.
You can say 2 thing about Hellmuth:
1= A good poker player
2= A good businessman who knows how to exploit his image, and make good profit with it.
Take care

He acts the way he does because it makes him more popular which means he earns more money. Anyone producing a poker show wants drama and conflict so they want guys like Phil and Mike Matusow...even though those guys act like idiots most of the time.

He's a childish, pathetic, whiny ***, annoying idiot.
