In surfing the internet over the past week or so I have come across a couple of interesting things going on in the world of Poker. Two of them involve “Bullet-Dodger” Phil Hellmuth Jr.

When I saw the pictures of Phil arriving at this year’s WSOP Main Event, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Apparently he was supposed to show up in an Ultimate Bet Race car, but THIS happened the night before. Well Phil you are a great Poker Player, but an incredibly awful driver. Did you not see the big orange cones and markers? I mean he had to hit that thing perfectly, which has some people shouting conspiracy theory. And check out these pictures of him in his funny little, way-too-tight racing suit while you are at it. They are quite amusing.

The second thing is that Phil is going to be on the Surreal Life this upcoming season on VH1. He will be living with Randy “Macho Man” Savage, and Ms Cleo, among others. Is Phil just trying to give people reasons to make fun of him? Wait, now I see that Phil Hellmuth will NOT be on the Surreal Life. Sure the guy is a marketing genius. Will he be on or won’t he? Who cares, he has the whole Poker world talking about it.

He has built an entire empire from a WSOP Main Event Win. That’s what sparked the fire and he just kept fanning the flame to where it is now an inferno. I suppose it wouldn’t be too hard for someone who jumps at 90% of the offers posed to him. Does he really need to go on a 3rd rate reality show full of washed-up celebrities though? I think not but, to each his own, and as I said before, he is one hell of a tournament player. Good Luck at the Tables.
