Spent the morning watching Doug Polk’s Phil Helmuth interview.

I was once alone in a lift with Phil in the Aria Suites just me and him.

“How’s the day goin’ Phil?” I said in far from a whisperI made it loud as he had his headset on.

He was facing me with his headphones on and completely blanked me. I couldn’t help but think he was a big time prick as we left the lift. Other people I told that story to over the tables in Vegas said they’d met him and he had been great.

Doug’s interview gives some insight into the man. For me anyone who has the gall to think when getting paid $25K a time to attend charity events you can add the event money raised total to YOUR “raised for charity” number is clearly a bit of a dick. IMHO. If I ever get himover the tables I’ll bring it up, I’ll still read his book…but I ain’t buying no mescal…
