Is Phil Hellmuth the best in the world? How can he be when he talks so much nonsense? What is going on under the hood? Is he running the biggest bluff ever?

Phil Hellmuth is an enigma.

After interviewing him twice, I couldn’t thin slice the man. One minute he is humble, the next egocentric. One minute he sounds like a genius, the next psychosomatic.

I’m a podcast junkie. Recently, I started listening to Brian Koppelman. I downloaded interviews with Vanessa Selbst and Hellmuth. Both are 12-months old. I listened to the Selbst interview first. It was interesting, absorbing and I learned something new.
