Last week, Phil Hellmuth was on the Domenick Nati Show. Even though he was mainly discussing his newest book #Positivity: You Are Always In The Right Place At The Right Time, somewhere along the way a topic came about in which he said he's helping NBA player Draymond Green with his poker game.
Apparently, the three-time All Star and three-time NBA champion contributed a blurb for Phil Hellmuth'[...] Read more » Phil Hellmuth promotes Positivity Book and talks about NBA Star Draymond Green on Domenick Nati Show

It must be great to have Phil Hellmuth giving you a few pointers on your game. He is probably the greatest tournament player ever and you should take his advice very seriously in my book

And of course he is one of the best players around. With fifteen tournament titles in WSOP, how he could ever not be one. He has picked the right title for his book It says it all. But at the end, if you dont expect an attitude from a player of his magnitude, who would you expect from.

The book of Phil Hellmuth, Positivity is good for live tournaments but for online tournaments should be called negativity... He is one of the best players in this industry and the proof is his bracelets ( 15). I think , he is trying to promote this book and it's not a bad thing. Everyone does what they can to make money and curious people can learn from this book. His personality is abnormal when he offends other players at the table.

With all respect, but positivity isn't what i would connect to Phil Hellmuth. The host should have asked him on the numerous occasions he went ballistic after a bad beat, and if he felt "in the right place at the right time, when those beats happened to him.

This... One hundred percent. If anything he is really not the guy to give out advices on anger related issues and positive thinking. On the other hand if I had the amount of money he is having then I would be pretty positive about it too.
Phil Hellmuth is probably the coolest player in the poker world ... at least I very often hear about him .. and his titles speak about a lot of things ... about his wonderful game ... and his advice is of course incredibly valuable ... so that improve your game ... very interesting

Probably Pajalnick confuses him with someone else, or he does not know when Phil Hellmuth has nervousness or frustration and insults other players. He has to look on youtube and to find. Then he will find that Phil is not the coolest players in the world of poker. There are many coolest players yhan Pgil Hellmuth.

Indeed if you know hellmuth and have seen him play, it is known that he gets tilted very easy some times, which results, in a "bad" behavior in the tables But no matter what, he is still one of the best players around. The number of titles speak of itself.
You can tell Phil Hellmuth has thousands of dollars invested in mental health lmao. He has seen so many psychologists and anger management groups trying hard to change, atleast you can tell he knows he has stuff he needs to workout... Introspection is something everyone should have. It makes people more humble when they are objective about themselves and see their own qualities and flaws.

The question here is, did he have the anger issues before he started playing poker, or he got them afterwards. At least with the money he is winning from the game he can afford all the specialists, you are saying he is visiting, to get rid of it And still a ton goes to his pocket

I'm sure Phil Hellmuth he did not have the courage to offend players when he was younger. He is not a strong man to have courage and to offend other players. I think he was respectful with the game partners which he had. His interest was to learn poker as best he could, to make money.

I think he is easily getting rattled nowadays, but so does everbody else who is loosing more than winning. And he did not win real big things since years now.
