Phil Hellmuth on Poker, Balance, and Tony G's Lie
Phil Hellmuth, known as Poker Brat, won $18 million in poker. In an interview, he shared his thoughts on the future of online poker in the US, his training methods, and a past fight with Sam Grizzle.
Hellmuth believes that online poker will be legalized in the US, citing David Baazov's efforts. He mentioned that Sheldon Adelson spends $100 million annually to influence politicians against online poker. However, Hellmuth thinks that online poker legalization in the US will lead to a significant increase in players, similar to what happened in Italy, France, and Russia.
Hellmuth also discussed his training methods and mentioned teaching his son Nick to play poker. He revealed that he was involved in a fight with Sam Grizzle over a poker table. Additionally, Hellmuth mentioned that he played poker against professors, psychiatrists, lawyers, and doctors in college. He believes that his success in razz tournaments is due to his ability to read opponents.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
