Phil is the player who play a lot off combine cards and then he start play he was very aggressive and have a lot off luck then win big his prices with last river card and a lot off hands win on the river now all know how Phil play and they always try not fold then Phil put all in but call if have some good hand combine because Phil can put all in with AA in hand or just j10 in his hand so he play too more unclever hands and become big looser i didnt believe that he can change his playing strategy and he not win 2010 because is most better players will take a part in this show

I think what he actually needs (although this would be what *I* need him to do) is to hire an....insult coach! The old 'donk' and 'you don't know how to spell poker' thing just doesn't cut it anymore. He needs some insight from someone like ....R Lee Ermey comes to mind. That would be FUN!
Hellmuth will always be Hellmuth. If this supposed mindset coach is any good, then you may see something that hasn't been seen in a while.....that being Hellmuth becoming the dominant player he once was.
whats the point of watching a calm helmuth? his braindead,crazy, sickness behavior is actually the only reason to watch him and laugh about his spastic comments... srsly, who wants to watch a MEGA TIGHT and FAT donkey playing poker? he better quits poker right away, instead of paying that mind set coach to ruin his career.. -ev for him, imo

he needs to hire a anger mangement coach and to teach him to stop raising 105 off suit and whining when he gets raised, that should clear up all his problems

I want to see him saying something like that: "Thank you Sir for going all-in with 2 suited cards against my aces and winning it was pleasure to lost to such decent player like you".
If it would ever happen i would just try to wake up...
