Phil agrees with ‘Dead Money’ Blogger
- Phil Hellmuth Tableside Manners
Your ‘Dead Money’ blogger in an earlier post discussed the ESPN performance of Hellmuth at a WSOP $3000 NLHE final table. Turns out that Phil Hellmuth 
viewed the performance and was less than pleased with his antics. You probably know that Hellmuth is a blogger for CardPlayer. Imagine my surprise when I read a post in his blog dated August 8th the day he was the ‘Main Event’ on the 2 hour ESPN broadcast. Here is what he said about the ESPN ’show’
Well, let me say one thing about the 2 hour “Phil Hellmuth” show on ESPN tonight. After I was eliminated, I was rooting for Beth Shak to win! I know that I said-in private to my wife and friends Greg and Janelle Pierson-that I didn’t think that Beth could win, but I was still 100% rooting for her. I didn’t think she could win because I felt like she would over-play A-Q again, or another similar hand, and lose most of her chips in one fell swoop. Enough said. On another note, at one point, while watching the show, I was annoyed with myself! I don’t even mind that I said, “I’m the best Hold’em player in the world,” but some of the other stuff I said was too over the top. Oh well, at least it was an entertaining show.
And how about Ivey being in the right place at the right time and beating me out of $109,000 while WATCHING the final table!! The first final table he has watched in years and he MAKES $109,000, sigh. I don’t mind him earning, but why did it have to be against me, again!?! I loved the collage they did on me, and was it me, or did Norman Chad actually lighten a bit on me for once? Norman sure gave me credit for my feats, and took me to task for my mouth, fair enough. source
So your ‘Dead Money’ blogger surmizes that Hellmuth agrees with him that Phil should clean up his Tableside manners as he is near the top of all time greats NLHE players as I said in this post.

Dead Money,
Emotions are part of the game! Don’t let other players emotions take you out of your stride.
I guess if I knew antics would mess up my opponent, I’m not too proud to try them. However, I’m always afraid I’ll be easier to read than a Dick and Jane book, so I shut my trap.
