Exclusive Coaching From Poker Champion
Phil Hellmuth is well-renowned for his explosive bursts of temper at the poker tables and his attitude to players he perceives to be inferior.
Hellmuth was the youngest Main Event winner in 1989 after stopping Johnny ‘The Oriental Express’ Chan winning his third consecutive bracelet. Hellmuth has offered coaching courses before, such as his Black Belt course. He has also written a book about succeeding at Limit and No Limit Texas Hold‘em.
As we report, Hellmuth currently has over 50% more than the average stack in the World Series of Poker $10,000 No Limit Hold ‘em Main Event. Just over 750 players remain with 666 finishing in the money.

I don't think I'd want coaching from someone who can't control themselves and looks down on other players! How good a coach could he possibly be if he has no empathy?

How much do you think people will learn if he treats his students as badly as he treats other players? Not to mention he obviously has anger management issues that would probably make him a pretty volatile teacher.

I wouldn't think that this would be any different than learning to cook from the likes of Gordon Ramsey. Sure the dude is passionate but he's passionate for a reason and he has the skills to back it up with.

I wonder who will all be attending his coaching? This should be very interesting considering how they say he treats people. I would be afraid to be in the same room with him from the things I hear

I have seen some hardcore people in their field but when it comes to teaching another many times they are tamer than you would think, maybe thats the case with him.

I was thinking the same thing Pamela! If he treats people as inferior, then why would he want to coach them? How desperate would someone be to take that kind of abuse just to learn from the best?
