Epic!
Thx for putting in the effort to post timestamps, very much appreciated!
You guys have been *JABCINATED.* Sad.
Get me on. I’m not very smart or interesting but I used to live with Ole G Smith before he died and have some pretty dope stories
Wait, this wasn't Mike Matusow??
Ask Mike some stuff about Phil and his reads/instincts. They used to be very close buddies -- it would be interesting to get Mike's take on stuff with Phil.
Doug, you did such a great job handling Phil. You pushed back when needed, but let him explain his side of things as well. He absolutely should get some credit at this point.
Some? He's the GOAT!
Great interview, I see so many podcasts that constantly interrupt the guest and make it about themselves and not the person being interviewed. Well done imo.
The guy won so many bracelet and $$$ by playing poker.. it's fun making fun of his personality but he is a too 2%poker player apex predator.
Yeah but Bitcoin Latinum is NOT Bitcoin. Shady ass marketing
So many excuses for his bad behavior and bad play and all he does is brag. His personality ruins his success. God he’s just a terrible role model
I think we can all agree that we need more doug and phil content.
Doug brings the best outta phil
I've been thinking this for some time now.
Separate monthly show for these two!
@@joeym1042 100% agreed
Yes.
I feel you should get Galfond on, upswing founder hosts ROI founder. Two of the best HU players in their own game
want to see phil too!
Great podcast Doug, you have a really good natural feel for interviews. I've been following you for years, love the content.
Phil, I don't know what the hell is on your wall, but I just spent five minutes of my life trying to clean it off my laptop screen.
Aha, so that's why it went all smudgy on my screen!
All the up and coming podcast interviewers should watch this and take notes. You ask the question, then give the person being interviewed time to answer fully before interrupting them. So many podcasters make this mistake and never let the people being interviewed talk before they cut em off and make it about themselves. Very Well done Dougie Fresh
Honestly tilts me when people do this and I think about that whenever I ask a question lol
That whole conversation about being 'reasonable' just got lost. One of Phil's worst traits is that he's a narcissist. He would be seen in a different light by many people if he wasn't this way but I guess if your whole brand has been to be 'The Poker Brat', then what else can you expect. I realise in 'real life' he may not be this way but unfortunately what people see is that everything is about 'him' and he has to realise that this is the primary reason he gets a lot of shit in my opinion.
See: Psychopath
@@gdolven No - that's just being silly.
"One of Phil's worst traits is that he's a narcissist."--
I dont think Phil is a narcissist. I think the mental flaw you are looking for to describe Phil is egomaniac.
Phil is intelligent and business savvy and so his marketing of himself as a brand may look narcissistic, but if you step back you will see its all ego driven, not self admiration. He really does see himself as the best poker player in the world from his subjective look at his career and what he has accomplished. That subjectivity self deception is why I say it is ego.
@@fomori2 Semantics - both can be correct. The dictionary definition of a narcissist is a person who is overly self-involved, and often vain. Even in this video, when talking about Covid he says something like, when the scientists look back maybe they'll say - hey Phil was right - LOL !
Yes because Doug and you don't know what unreasonable means or you've invented some new meaning of unreasonable. "Oh, we are gamblers, and it's so unreasonable for gamblers to make a bet over a basketball shot". WTF? To then extrapolate this misunderstanding of the word to call the man a Narcissist or Psychopath is the definition of Unreasonable. Doug Phil and Daniel are all at the same level of Narcissism. It's part of being able to make a living on "their brand". It's why you are watching them now on youtube. Making this observation is perfectly reasonable.
This podcast would be a great case study for psychologists.
I’m a psychologist, great case study of a man. I once had a discussion with a lecturer and he said that Phil helmuth is probably one of the best behavioural analysts in the world doesn’t even realise it haha

I’m a psychologist, great case study of a man. I once had a discussion with a student and I said to him that Phil helmuth is probably one of the best behavioural analysts in the world doesn’t even realise it haha
Hellmuth's wife is a psychiatrist. You can look at 2 ways 1) Even she couldn't figure out Phil or 2) She has worked her wonders and this is calmer, more laid back Hellmuth. Which one is it??
@@LEFTaTIP Idk, I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist.
That was a very reasonable podcast! Thanks to the GOAT for this podcast, good to see you as well Doug!
You say that as if it’s an insult/dig but literally no one thought you were talking about Doug.
@@Jealod24 very reasonable take. Thanks for your input
I though Phil defended himself quite well on the High rollers. Yes he is probably not as good as the top players and they view him as a spot, but I also think he did play in high rollers for media attention and played when he wasn’t prepped properly.
It is not reasonable to boast about who you hang out with!
Also - there are a lot of videos of phil from the late 90s early 2000s and everyone is laughing at him, but where are the people in those videos now?! Phil and Daniel are the survivors! Their the last men standing!
Guy dressed up as Julius Caesar and brought an entourage to the main event....very reasonable...
Great podcast. I appreciate your work ethic, shenanigans and topics for the poker community. Ggs Doug.
Poor Phil, he feels like everyone is attacking him and his legacy and with hatred
Doug was even trying to set Phil up for a compliment but Phil was still on the defense.
@@PocketTits yeah, he is 110% emotionally invested, bless him, he means well, even if a little egotistical, but I guess it helps to have a warped view of yourself lol. Much respect for his wife putting up with him for 32 years lol
It is a profitable schtick, Phil is very good. If there are a 100,000 people who watch this and form the opinion that Phil is bad, he gets more suckers. It pays to over defend.
He feels like it because it's true. Just read some of the chat replay on this interview. These anonymous wankers never let up.
Daniel and nick Schulman did attack his game. He took it personal and it motivated him.
Great interview. Respect to Phil
I love how Phil trust himself even under all the crap he gets. He's like a man who wants to fit in but he can't because he is on a different plane. LOL he wants us to see what he sees, but we can't. I truly believe this man has not even started to reach his potential. Time will tell. Go get em Mr. Hellmuth.
I think he's going to find himself in hot water with this crypto project he talks about toward the end. If it's not a fork of bitcoin it could be deemed an unregistered security, and of course he has no idea of the technical details.
He’s the biggest scum bag in poker
@@madting3109 how?
Nailed it
Phil is one of the GOATs, this podcast made me understand his personality alot better
what have you learned?
the eating the cookie dough during an interview is revealing
Hellmuth = Egotistical. I've known it for 28 yrs....unfortunately
@@thomas8794 Well.....egotistical as being driven to succeed; as having the ambition to keep raising your level of play and playing the best...?? Ok, I can live with that but EGO to Phil Hellmuth is saying he is simply better than you. And Not just as a poker player.
Phil Hellmuth is genuine. One thing is for sure - Phil has good heart and that's most important in this world.
he's a prick what are you talking about
I’ve got to be honest I have no idea what Doug’s definition of unreasonable is. I suspect the interpretation is that Phil is obstinate and difficult to dislodge from his opinion of himself and his decisions but fuck it I think he’s earns the right to be.
Cmon Doug, he's reasonable, he's filming w Ted Cruz next week.
Pff5
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) or megalomania is a personality disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive craving for admiration, and struggles with empathy.
You gotta love the Doug Phil dynamic. Such a love fest.
Do you have any idea what unreasonable means? Helmuth isn't unreasonable cause he hangs out with rich people he is unreasonable because he thinks he is a good cash game player when he is relatively shit.
F the word REASONABLE, don't say it again 😂😂😂
Phil demanding you find something about him is “unreasonable”
What about the 12 minutes discussion that followed ?
I like how Phil argues for 30minutes about how reasonable he is...Phil, this is exactly what Doug means
Bingo
Yep 👍
yip
Doug's interpretation of the word "unreasonable" is....unreasonable.
Well, I'm the luckiest motherfucker in History- Hellmuth
I love Phil more and more every time I see him! 🐐
I've never been a Phil H. fan, but I found myself rooting for him during the recent heads up matches. It's one thing to say he isn't the best big cash game player or maybe even the best tournament player in a smaller field of high level pros, but to disrespect what he has done in his career in the game is insane. Daniel was out of line and got what he deserved. Doug was great during this interview.
Seriously they legit called him a fish to his face and always looked down on him even though he has the credentials to say otherwise.
@@houstonswisha143 greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And Hellmuth made some of the most analytical clever and gifted with reading skills people think that he is a fish (even with more bracelets than he could lift his skinny fat arm if he put em all on). Which is the bigger feat?
He couldn’t sleep and then just thought;”PHIL YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR ABILITIES MAXIMALLY”, and then after slept like a baby 😂😂😂.
First great job by Doug with interviewing Hellmuth. Doug did made some good observations on Hellmuth (And I'm glad Doug stood by them, like especially on Hellmuth's #Positivity. Because, frankly, Hellmuth is a hypocrite on being positive. I mean how many hundreds of poker players has he belittled?? How many outbursts at the poker table have we seen?? How many frustrated comments along with excuses does Hellmuth have? Great poker players are supposed to have great control of their emotions, honestly most of us know even in his late 50's he can erupt like Mt St. Helens.
Lastly, Phil we all know you're a great poker player but man, you keep telling us how great you are; along side with name/celebrity dropping people you hang out with and "over" promoting all the brands you sponsor.....it gets a big time ad nauseam.
great podcast! and yes, please bring on Mike Matusow!
Naaaah...
Talk about unreasonable...
@@Adam-hi9dh takes more than a mouth to make a good podcast, I reckon.
One if Phil's goals was to eat on camera every time. ✔
Why is Phil calling Doug Phil? He is getting confused.
at 26:00 I'm ancutally an adherent of gto, but I agree with Phil. Humans will still be human. In a live setting, our humanity will always show to some degree, and some people can look into our humanity better than others. It's really that simple. I think Phil would get slaughtered online, but no-one can argue against his live results, even today. And yes, I agree he's absolutely a ridiculous egomaniac, and you know what? We all love that about him. He's prob the most entertaining guy to watch play poker, and a great ambassador for the game we love.
Phil folded AJs and KT on TV against Daniels superior holdings - because Phil reads him so well. Because of this - Phil self appointments him as the greatest player ever - just from these 2 hands. Forget the thousand of other hands on TV (Cash & Tourneys) that Phil folded his better hand to a bet or raise. W O W
Great interview. Yes, Phil can be a bit annoying at time, and frustrating when he tilts, but at the same time the man has accomplished much in his time both at the table and in his life. At this point I consider him the GOAT, and I am not a "Poker Brat fan boy"....and just over 7 months later we are beginning to see that the shots are not safe. It was simply a means to feed into the fear and discriminate against people who did not bend the knee.
Myself play everything from 1.10 dollar - 215 dollar online and everything from 10 dollar - 500 dollar live
once played a 2000 dollar in Taiwan 3b shoved AQ in BB vs B and SB open-call with 40bb lost to slowplayed KK in SB... in a 10 dollar in Brasil I limp 3bet QQ to 20bb with 200bb stacks and got 4bet from a loose mega donk, I snapfolded and he show me AA :)
Limp fold AJs hu is crazy but if Negeranus only do 6x with AQAK AAKKQQJJ1010 i think its a good play but it would not work vs Lena900 or any other real pro who would do 4,2 with his hole fucking range.
Someone: i take any 100NL winner over phil helmuth. Me: I take any bad reg at 100nl over 99.9% of All American donk players what level they play on does not matter.
Poor phil is getting used for this Bitcoin latinum shit... He should really contract consultants before banking cheques left and right on every projects
But he's surrounded by the smartest people on the planet? xD
I swear to god I understand what Phil is talking about. Genuinely. He’s simply saying his reading ability is insane and has led to more success and is better than only playing mathematically
Hey Phil, what number am I thinking of?
Where are Phil's "Top 10 Phil Helmuth insane reads"?
@@robertfrydell6894 not sure what top ten but just any session of play with him, he’ll read people like a book some hands.
@@KeepItGoinBeats oh really? Give me an example.
@@robertfrydell6894 You’re just being ignorant if you’re denying Phil’s reading abilities.
BEFORE YOU WATCH!!! DRINKING GAME CHALLENGE!!!
Every time either of the two use the word "Reasonable" take a shot. It might be boring for the first 47:18 mins.... but I promise you're dead after the next 5...
Zero percent chance the bitcoin latinum ceo comes on to get his scam grilled by Doug lmao
Doug, can you get Tom Dwan on your podcast? I wonder if he is ever gonna try and win some bracelets etc
Phil saying with equal conviction that he knew Daniel would be strong the next time he bet 7x and that Daniel is not suing his reading skills and only trusting the math is just beautiful
he did preface that comment with part of it is logic ..... #you'renotbias
Dooglas Pork is bad for poker.
GTO lovers forget about live poker and that there are MASSIVE variables that overtake GTO concepts. GTO guys 'not caring what you have' is just bad application of poker skill.
Jesus, I don't think there's another person on Earth as full of himself as Phil. His ego is so terrible, it actually hurts him in cash games. He literally believes he deserves to win EVERY pot; just because he's Phil Hellmuth. There's no denying his tournament success, but nobody deserves to get PAID to act like an ass.
Hellmuth speaks just like Trump does. Listen to the first few mins if the pod, close your eyes, and picture trump....
Note: I am NOT making a moral equivalency between the two. Just an observation of speech pattern
27:40 there's a fault in your reasoning Doug. GTO strategies are solved under the premise that poker is a game of incomplete information, and that your opponent doesn't know what you have. If Phil has an accurate read on what someone has that will change the equation, because he has more information than the solvers are assuming he has.
I'm not saying with 100% certainty that Phil has accurate reads, I don't know if he has. But I will say that if he does, it changes the equation.
No one believes what Charlie Daniels said must be? Obvious Hellmuth has won the most. He has the cards helping him. And cards are a easy way to make money...or trap millions of peoples souls over the course of time as a result. Most casinos are enchanted to some degree and online poker is schemed from site to site. My only question is can we start a Phil Nagy polygraph prop bet? Guarantee that fool is tampering and setting accounts.
Great interview. I’ve been playing poker for 16 years and over 27,000 hours of live play in mostly mid-stakes games. There are 2 things that Phil talked about that I agree with. Live reads which you can get through years of playing this game or to use his term “white magic” and realizing your limitations in terms of how much you play and him adjusting that as he got older helped him to be more successful. I play more hands than would be optimal because when I’m post flop against players I play with, I feel I have an edge, which has been proven over years. Regarding limitations, I went through the same thing. Just becoming more aware of yourself helped to significantly increase my hourly win rate.
Doug, love ya buddy....but this podcast should have been about 15 minutes. It's tough listening to him freakin talk..........
Phil is the Donald Trump of poker. The Herd can't see past the demeanor to the substance. That said, you perpetrated some objective journalism with the high stakes analysis, Doug.
Good to see Phil answer his indictment in poker court. Doug being a seasoned and decorated prosecuter was fair reasonable. All I can say is I like Phil but I'd hate to try to explain why he sucks but the sad truth is he isn't playing online so there could be some live tell stuff going off. He was wrong about Dnegs being strong the next time he raised however Dnegs plays his ranges. Phily boy couldn't be broken under torture to believe he is wrong that we do know
Watch Daniels WSOP tournament streams, he literally just punts blinds because of his math. When he does make those punts Daniel is saying I bet this guy in the pot has it but the right math call is 3 bet. Daniel has lost it.
He’s a master in person but online he’s a calling / fold station
Tired of these a$$holes selling their crap…just gamble. Doug is the future of poker. Go away Phil. All he does is extract from the game.
Before this podcast I found Phil entertaining. Now I know he's insane. His ego is absolutely ridiculous and his self analysis is just cringe. How on earth does this guy make money
Just gonna step on your boy Joey's podcast toes? Thought you weren't doing what Joey does?
Snake.
Nah.... They're just hating. Fuck them, Phil. Good on you to just do what you do best by going with your instincts.
Hi Doug please invite Jordan Drummond from BBZ Poker, he's a extreme bright Poker mind.
Wasn't Phil best pals with Russ Hamilton? Why has he never had to answer for his associations with the biggest known cheater in online poker history? :)
Phil is a disaster of promo side shows, yet as a live poker player, he has more love and understanding of the game, and has more pure intentions, at least about the poker, than the great majority of players near his level. For most, poker skill is just something gaining them entry to gamble on all sorts of things including their own poker game. For Phil, it's the entry to prove to the world how good a poker player he is, which leads him to treat the game with a lot of respect.
Doug refuses to admit the Phils style crushed Daniels GTO. He swept Daniel 3-0.
Hellmuth could talk about himself all day long
yes !
and then he complains that people don't listen to him closely enough
A man who demands respect will never get respect! Phil, your an amazing poker player at what games u chose to play but if u really want to prove your the best you have to play on same field we're all playing today!!! Loving these podcast and excited about next duel with Tom n phil.
Phil is a great of the game, the answer is not being rude we laugh at him because no one respects him, as how he talks up himself, then when trays to be sane there's no respect. Nice guy all that, but as I said selling himself and shit do not stink like Trump, no respect
Great podcast and interview but unfortunatley Doug has misunderstood the word "unreasonable" :D
This is the last wave… Omicron. Lol
Phil’s cadence sounds like Donald Trump
This was such a weird podcast 😂😂😭
Phil is a walking randomizer.. how can Doug not understand the way he plays
Love how he cut off stupied Negeranus (worst jerkface ever in poker)
Posting a side by side comparison of yourself to Tom Brady immediately following his super bowl victory is, in my opinion, unreasonable.
Nice job handling poker brat. And I wish he would stop all the name dropping.
Phil....FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU: For the conversation back and forth on "the odds" you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally need to use the Han Solo LINE: "NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
can you do a video just analyzing this whole interview
I think Tom wins just because Phil is due a loss and huge blowup.🙏 please lord 😂
"Name one instance I've been unreasonable" ... proceeds to rant for 30 minutes about how he's definitely reasonable. Seems reasonable.
Only correct if computer playing computer!!! Everyone plays different
In the last 3 minutes of this podcast I had literally no one idea what the fuck Phil was talking about
Phil Hellmouth and his legacy is interrupting people to brag about himself
Look guys, I am a psychologist/poker player, and I can tell you from both professional and personal experience that much of Phil Hellmuth’s success is based on his exceptional ability to read his opponents. Anyone who disagrees with this statement is most likely incapable of tapping into this skill, and therefore rejects the idea that it is possible because they do not understand it themselves. This is precisely where the word MAGIC stems from. To you it may seem like MAGIC…. To the magician however, it is just another day at the office….
William Lamar-Boone, sure Hellmuth has exceptional "abilities to read opponents" but is it on the scale of Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, even Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Justin Bonomo Bryn Kenney??
Many of Hellmuth's WSOP are bracelets are heads-up against amateurs. I would give Hellmuth more credit if he was grinding it out in the biggest cash games or putting his poker skills online or winning High Roller tournies. As far as "magic" you proclaim or the "White Magic" Hellmuth says he has ...maybe he is just on a good heater.
This podcast is completely invalidated. He didn't mention not cheating on his wife one time.
He won 24 out of 25 Televised Cash games what thats impossible i saw him lose so often more then 1 time
Cliff Notes...Phil talking about how great he is for 2 hrs.Too bad he wasn't hugged more as a kid.
You know, I think you're on to something. It's as if no matter what he accomplishes, he needs to tell all the world about it too and several times. It's as if he expects people to think little of him.
Poor Phil is unknowingly pumping a sh*tcoin 🥴🤒🤮☠️
The issue is Doug and Phil have different definitions of unreasonable. And Doug seems to be the odd one out
How many "you know" in this video?...I think over 1000.
arent there supposed to be 5 buff black dudes standing behind doug in that room?
if i can say one thing about this podcast, it’s prob don’t buy Bitcoin Latinum lmao
Is it possible that Phil brings out the worst in other people. ie, they play worse. Lowers they table iq
Man i really thought it was an act on TV. I think it's even better that he's just that insane. I love it
Where are Phil's "Top 10 Phil Helmuth insane reads"?
I love Phil. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves
Because Hellmuth will always be the very first one to give himself credit.
That fold Doug made with the lower straight was amazing!!
Wasn´t Doug burned on Poker, retiring and moving on to Crypto?
Safety first should be no jab no play masks all time wearing
How many times he gonna do this silly new does not compute thing throughout this video lolol ?
