He gets a little obnoxious because of his ego and gets emotional. 100x Better than say a Tony G who will act the same way, only after he beats you, not after he loses. Phil is regarded by the poker community as a really nice guy. I don't see how anyone couldn't like the dude
Despite his poker persona, Phil seems like one of the nicest guys who has really found a balance between poker and a good life. It's nice to see a poker player have a normal home life with balance.
+TissDiss Lots of players said that Phil is extremely nice not playing. Also, I would argue that 95% of his outbursts are all for TV time and ratings. He has gone overboard though legitimately (Dragomir) but all in all, not a bad guy.
Can't reply to pre-Google+ comments, but in reply to those who think this place is dumpy: Unlike most poker pros, Phil doesn't live in Las Vegas. He's in Palo Alto, California, a city which is upscale even for Silicon Valley, which in general has the highest property values in the country. This house is worth AT LEAST as much as the McMansions you see the Vegas crowd living in, and very probably more. He also has kids. The place is not gonna be tidy. That Phil didn't tear this house down and build a huge monstrosity that takes up his entire lot shows he actually has considerable taste.
Hard to imagine growing up with Phil for your dad. You know, with him constantly hollering into the distance ever time you screw up, "Hey honey, guess what this idiot did. Kid can't even spell poker." XD
I think on of my favorite things he's ever "yelled" is..."honey, 🍯 I was supposed to go broke on that ✋ hand, but they forget one thing...I can Dodge bullets baby, I was hoping I wouldn't have to make that lay down, at the world series of poker..on the first day..ya know what I mean"....I die every time I hear that clip
no matter how much people put him down nowadays just one look at all of his achievements and finishes and you realize wow hes still one of the best...and he has a lot of more years in front of him God knows how much more hes gonna do, good job Phil!!
I agree... I can understand people being annoyed by him but I think he is fucking great.... What other team/player do you enjoy when they win and lose?
just like i imagined, lot's of things he's proud of because they were given to him by someone special and a atleast 5 pictures of himself in every room xD
I like the video because it shows that for phil, it's not about having the largest or best house. There are other non-material things that are more important to him, for example remembering the good old times
Thats prolly a $5+ million house in palo alto/silicon valley .. median home price in palo alto is $1.77 mil, crescent valley nearby median home price is like $3.5 mil
I don't think they are, I'm a pretty laid back person but some reason why I play poker I take it so serious and personally that I've been in his place and know exactly how he feels and have personally had some of those rants
Should of used your brothers house in Eden Prairie, thats where you forgot your favorite jacket before the gala. I know I had to go get it. Great luck at the 2015 WSOP.
"I have to have quality clothing." Then he states "IMy picture is going to be on the cover of 12 million beer cans." "Which beer?" "Milwaukee's Best!" I guess Phil cares about the quality of clothing, but couldn't care less about the quality of his beer! lol
7:17 yea im lookin at that list and wondering how you won it as well phil.Lol but i have to say he is pretty modest for being the all time brac.winner.
Phil is actually a cool and normal guy, maybe a little arrogant sometimes but hell, he's got 11 bracelets afterall and also a good poker player. People see on youtube only videos of him freaking out so of course most get the thinking that's he sucks. You should watch some full episodes of him playing.
No you need to actually listen to his ramblings. He says that 3 years ago they've been there for 8 years. That equals 11 years. Pretty close to how long he's actually lived there.
Say what you want, but this man is a legend no matter how obnoxious he can get.

+TissDiss his blowups are mostly an act. its for entertainment.
He was so freakin right, naming Dragmir the worst player in history and so on!
10,4...excuse me...
Phil is absolutely hilarious, he's like a caricature of himself, I'm sure he's a method actor. Comedy gold with this one
You nailed it spot on. It's like he's parodying himself without even realizing it.
That’s just the way he is but because he is super successful it gives him the confidence to not care at all what people think
Phil seems like a decent fellow. A family man with a great career.

"Idiot from northern Europe"

I think it's awesome how down-to-earth Phil is, despite his ego. Good family life, he definitely keeps it real
no matter how much people put him down nowadays just one look at all of his achievements and finishes and you realize wow hes still one of the best...and he has a lot of more years in front of him God knows how much more hes gonna do, good job Phil!!
Its kind of nice that his home is a little messy, and not so extravagant. He seems like a very honest person, who doesnt mind looking bad at all.
This guy is the perfect example of harsh outside and soft hearted ^_^
I respect this guy so much..
When it comes to the poker brat ya either absolutely love Phil, or you hate his guts....
Personally I fkn love the guy....
I agree... I can understand people being annoyed by him but I think he is fucking great.... What other team/player do you enjoy when they win and lose?
just like i imagined, lot's of things he's proud of because they were given to him by someone special and a atleast 5 pictures of himself in every room xD
Such a different side to him, seems like a really nice guy. Love the house too, it is a home.
Saving that money.
i've always liked phil. seems like a pretty good guy when he is not coming unglued after a losing hand. nice to see a family man do well in poker.
The Genius & His Remote = Priceless!
I love Phil Hellmuth :)
I want to see Guy Laliberte's house, a true definition of ballin'
"Maybe we should have a glass later" hahah
HAHAHAHA
phil tryna sneak one in i see you phil
I like the video because it shows that for phil, it's not about having the largest or best house. There are other non-material things that are more important to him, for example remembering the good old times
At least the thieves now know to steal his $40,000 rug, thanks for sharing.
phil such a great guy when he's not tilting
Thats prolly a $5+ million house in palo alto/silicon valley .. median home price in palo alto is $1.77 mil, crescent valley nearby median home price is like $3.5 mil
I love Phil Hellmuth!
this guy is awesome, and he's from my hometown
If I had that many awards and trophies, they wouldn't be sitting on a shelf. They would be in glass cases in a trophy room! ahaha
He is a great guy 95% of the time
i enjoyed the demo of setting the hot tun temp. also, i doubt anyone knows Phil as the tech guy
good to see another side og hellmuth in youtube
Glad to see in real life he's actually pretty laid-back and calmer! I'm thinking those poker rants are just an act for some publicity!
I don't think they are, I'm a pretty laid back person but some reason why I play poker I take it so serious and personally that I've been in his place and know exactly how he feels and have personally had some of those rants
9:46 "I love lamp"
@ninefivesuited that's because Q10o>AK doesn't happen during house tours
Phil you advertised for Full Tilt > what do you think about what happened.
Should of used your brothers house in Eden Prairie, thats where you forgot your favorite jacket before the gala. I know I had to go get it. Great luck at the 2015 WSOP.
Damn I've passed his house so many times without realizing it...
Real estate in Palo Alto where Hellmuth lives cost way more than Vegas
man who sold the world in the background was perfect
Nice bar, Phil!
"i've just won so many tournaments, ya know, sometimes the trophies don't even make it out in the light..."
LOL.
Phil is really an odd guy. But he seems genuinely nice
"i mean I've just won so many tournaments..."
6 sunlights in 1 room, damn, the rest of the rooms are kind of dark in comparison. This kind of does put Phil in a positive light though.
i don't like him but i like the way he treats willow!!! :) i like people who love animals as i do (Y)
wow i really like phil, he is a humble and a nice guy:/
phil has anger problems at the poker table, but u can tell he has a really big heart
omfg
his house is a refurbished garage , and he has 13 bracelets in WSOP
1) This was 4 years ago.
2) If you payed attention, you'd have heard that he has another home in Wisconsin.
Karnage2015 I live 9n wisconsin
He seems like a nice guy :)
Now if you think about if after mentioning all those names in the book winning the 1989 world series is really a big achievment
He said "three years ago we had been here for 8 years"
around 5:00 phil suggests they should have a glass of wine and shes basically like nahh lol
man Phill Hellmuth is cool. I like him now.
"I have to have quality clothing." Then he states "IMy picture is going to be on the cover of 12 million beer cans."
"Which beer?"
"Milwaukee's Best!"
I guess Phil cares about the quality of clothing, but couldn't care less about the quality of his beer! lol
7:17 yea im lookin at that list and wondering how you won it as well phil.Lol but i have to say he is pretty modest for being the all time brac.winner.
Lol hes really such a nice guy, hard to believe this is the same guy who rants at poker table.
Man I hope wireless tech has improved over the last three years.
People coming over to profile the inside of your home call me crazy but maybe making the bed before they do so would be a priority??
i like the mars volta intro! :o)
Rip willow
Just goes to show money don't buy you taste. Fare does he is a nice guy for showing this :-)
"His house makes me sick. It's fuckin unreal. So sick. Unfukin believable. Nice doggy though buddy"
"Maybe We Should Have a Glass Later"
i cant believe he stills wears that black jacket at home lol
Axe murderer comes to mind... Even Mr brighside couldn't change that image
I want to know more about this "consultant" called Heidi
phil
gosh dang it all
@xstaycoldxx
It's called a cap
@weatherallc05 couldn't agree more with your comments dude :)
did he just compare him being on a milwalkees ice can to the mean joe green commercial?
his whole family is from wisconsin. even i know he spends a lot of time there
Wow, nice guy, its kind of a jekyll hyde thing when he play cards
5:25 its kind of fun to watch uh uh stuff together' lol
Mean Joe Green 's ad was for coke not Pepsi.
phil hellmuth reminds me of david brent from the office (UK) lol
Phil is actually a cool and normal guy, maybe a little arrogant sometimes but hell, he's got 11 bracelets afterall and also a good poker player. People see on youtube only videos of him freaking out so of course most get the thinking that's he sucks. You should watch some full episodes of him playing.
Am I the only one who thinks Phil Hellmuth reminds them of Spenny from Kenny vs Spenny???
No you need to actually listen to his ramblings. He says that 3 years ago they've been there for 8 years. That equals 11 years. Pretty close to how long he's actually lived there.
been here for 12 years, What is this thing?
phil should look up the game "thwart poker" if he wants a poker game that supposedly is all skill. i played it about 7 years ago.
phill we never go broke he is snart with his money i mean look at the house no flashyness and the best no limit poker player ever
only player in the world who has the number of bracelets he's won sewn onto the side of his hat
what did tony g do
good guy
he actually lives pretty modestly, his house at least resembles a home not a hotel suite
I'm sorry too.
The dude never takes off his leather jacket. He showers with it on.
He is likeable....
love to see that sarcasm has made it to the top comment.
I just watched before this Barry's Greenstine house if you can call it house,that's a freaking Mansion.
He has a house in the suburbs...?
This is like an episode of The Office...
agreed 210% my good Dawg
8:58 They have 30 packs?
3:41: "20,000, 30,000, 40,000 dollar rug". Which is it phil?
his house would be twice as big if he never met Tony G
Guys song name 09.40 i cant find it, please :)
+Kexima My hero, foo fighters
+Zim Zimma Ty so much man you have no idea how much that bothered me not knowing :)
he called a raise with 10-4 off suit honey !!!!!!!!
Is this High Stakes Bragging?
"What's that thing do over here?"
Did you see next to the cardboard poster of himself, there was a roll of toilet paper and hand cream?
