Phil Hellmuth and Twitter
These days it has become very easy, not only to track what Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth is doing, but also to track what he is thinking. This is because he is always Tweeting. On the way to the Super Bowl in Dallas there was a constant stream of Twitter messages on Dancing with the Stars, a meeting with George Bush and more.
Unfortunately it is neither a confirmed yes nor a confirmed no for Hellmuth’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars. The rumors were not baseless, though. Hellmuth admitted that he had been taking dancing lessons for a week. He even Tweeted the steps “1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2”. The Poker Brat also claimed that he had some dancing skills. But the tenor of the Tweet, “Thought I was going to be on Dancing with the Stars!” puts a question mark on the whole affair. Annie Duke, Hellmuth’s one-time colleague at UB.com, will be disappointed. Reacting to the rumors she had said that Hellmuth would make her watch the show. She also hit bull’s eye when she said, “With Phil, it’s always a love-hate relationship with the audience. People love to watch him because they love to hate him.”
The weather was not kind in Dallas. Hellmuth Tweeted, “Accidents everywhere; Driving on freeway in Dallas, tons of cars littering shoulder!” The All-In Celebrity Poker Tournament organized by Adrian Peterson had to be cancelled. While in Texas, Hellmuth caught up with former president George W Bush Junior, Condoleezza Rice and Hilary Swank. The message on Twitter said, “WOW! Gave George Bush a signed book + signed beer can at his library at SMU + we hit it off really well! Found him to be witty + engaging…”. He even sent a picture of the event. Hellmuth had done the same with Bill Clinton some time back. Incidentally Hellmuth is backing the Packers to the hilt in the Super Bowl.
There were Tweets about his charity work as well. “At Atkinson Convo Center at Dallas Stadium fitting kids w hearing aids w Starkey Hearing Foundation. Giving away tons of $1,700 hearing aids!” Later in the month Hellmuth is scheduled to host the Raise Your Hand for Africa charity poker tournament for this same foundation.
