I want to clarify that I have played poker with Phil Hellmuth a few times. It was always the same undue fanfare and unsportsmanlike behavior coupled with random spewing of profanity that makes me not really care for the guy. Who he is as a family man or friend is none of my business since he is neither to me.

Phil Hellmuth is a public figure and should try to represent the community with a stitch of class, but instead he often behaves like he is playing garage poker after having had a 12 case of Ice House and 3 shots of Jose Cuervo.

Finally, I agree with the assessment of all of his fanboys on this thread, he definitely is playing a character. Phil Hellmuth plays the character of a douchebag!

Finally, the rich should give back to their community. It was the community that made Phil Hellmuth rich to begin with. Most of his risks were significantly hedged financially, whether publicly or privately, and his low risk high reward game theory along with his mastery of the game itself certainly affords him the right to be called one of the best Poker players in the world. But when someone has access to endless trunks of money it should go without saying and without fanfare that it would be expected that someone in his position give back to the community without always needing a parade float in his honor after he writes the check.
