Phil Hellmuth hires a mindset coach

Tags: mindset coach, phil hellmuth, temper, tilt.
Posted on 03 February 2010 by "T".

Phil Hellmuth is known for many, many things. However, we're going to make it brief. Phil is one the world's best and most successful tournament poker players. He's the ambassador for a very successful poker site, Ultimate Bet. However, he has a big problem, and that is that he has a very bad temper which makes him go on tilt for almost nothing.

There are plenty of clips on youtube and other sites where one can watch Phil Hellmuth get angry and frustrated after that another player has played a hand in a way he find stupid. Phil Hellmuth knows that this have costed him a lot of money, and therefore he has decided to do something about it. Sam Chauhan, a mindset coach, has been hired by Phil Hellmuth to help him cope with the difficulties being he. Chauhan has helped pros like Antonio Esfandiari and Gavin Smith before - with great results! 

We will probably have to wait at least until 2010 WSOP before we'll get to see if Chauhan's expertise coaching has helped Phil.

Nooooo.

The poker brat is expected to tilt. No one wants to see a well behaving Hellmuth at the table.

"to help him cope with the difficulties being he".

sounds funny Big Smile

nothing to worry i think. thats his temper - not that easy to change.
think we still will have our fun on his behavior.

He needs a personality transplant, not a mindset coach! It may even get worse as he'll now be bottling up all his anger. He could EXPLODE.... YAY Big Smile

He tilits because, hes still living in past, where on his golden times poker players didnt bad beat eachother and played abc poker Tongue.
Phils probably the only pro whos showing off his anger at tables lol.

Doye Brunson once said in High stakes poker episode after a sick beat he got - that 30 years ago in texas players were hunged or cut fingers off for making such bad play and still win. Blink
 Miloutre03/02/2010 12:05:12 GMT
Damn! it's soooo funny when he explodes
 mazas03/02/2010 13:41:16 GMT
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 Sad
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

good luck all Smile

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!
 dozn0103/02/2010 20:38:08 GMT
tell him to count to 10 b4 he speaks that will calm him down it works for me Smile
 psycokiller03/02/2010 23:03:14 GMT
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.
 DaneMitic04/02/2010 00:06:36 GMT
whats the point of watching a calm helmuth? Confused 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 Big Smile
 leroi2104/02/2010 01:08:08 GMT
wow maybe one of the greatest poker player in holdem no limit but he is so easy to piss off at a poker table fun to watch but not cool to be at is table but if i was at is table i will call with a stupid hand just to piss im off :d:d
 GabeKaplan04/02/2010 01:11:20 GMT
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
 ZmxPowah04/02/2010 03:38:00 GMT
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...
 oliver08229804/02/2010 04:39:18 GMT
its great to know that players of phil's caliber still wants to improve on his game... go...go...
 SuperNoob04/02/2010 10:08:36 GMT
hope he fails in it, otherwise we'll miss on some great entertainment Sad

 xxxbchxxx04/02/2010 13:57:36 GMT
Well he has been suffering a while!
He hasnt seemed to be his self for age's i think his going through some kind of mid life crisiss...lol
I bet his coach tells him to keep his mouth shut.
 LaBaiz04/02/2010 17:29:22 GMT
I actually loved to watch Phil Hellmuth explode after someone busted him after a weird play, great for the TV and it is fun. I don't think I would love a quiet PH. Blink
 Fackinas04/02/2010 17:30:47 GMT
