Hellmuths’s last few hours of tweets from the late night poker drinking binge:
>> I am so drunk I cannot lose!!!! Going to play high stakes limit Hold’em at UB now!!
>> Lost 16k at no limit
>> Now throwing my cell phone accross my desk in disgust…And still drinking…12 down, i hate alcohol…
Poker superstar Phil Hellmuth, who first started twittering December 18th last year has taken to Twitter like it’s his personal diary. Like many other “B” celebs, Hellmuth is using Twitter as a live outlet to express himself. In this case his frustrations after a losing hand during online poker play get a tweet, so the rail birds at UltimateBet can experience the full flavor of a Hellmuth outburst. It’s like a personal version of ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
From earlier that night while playing online poker:
>> I am drinking tonight, in fact way too much! Maybe 6 total shots in 5 hours. Just landed in bay area…
>> I have never had a drinking problem, never. But here i am having another beer! Moosehead Beer is good! Thats 6 in 6 hours.
>> Called Layne Flack to tell him to tell me to stop drinking! But he said, ‘U have everything, enjoy yourself.’ Opening another Moosehead
>> What the F@&/k is going on here? 7 drinks in 6 hours, and i just cracked another Moosehead…Watching ‘Supertramp’ on youtube at home
>> I am Dissapointed in myself…8 drinks in 6 and 30 mins. And I want more! F it, opening 1 more Moosehead!!
>> I guess I will have a hangover, just finishing 9 drinks in 7 hours! Listening to Beatles ‘Something in the way she moves’ on youtube
>> 9 drinks down in 7 hours…Trying Red Tail Ale, yuck! Michelob, pass. Blue Moon Rasberry Cream, horrible!!
>> Ok, completely wasted now. Listening to Beatles ‘Strawberry Fields’ and opening a bottle of Innskillin ‘Vidal’ pouring a glass.
>> Listening to Beatles ‘I am the walrus’ by myself while drinking number 10 drink…Embarassed to drink so much!! Help!
If it’s any reconciliation, Hellmuth has posted a few more tweets speaking to his embarrassment of the drunken text rampage. It appears he removed all the Twitter updates as well, some cleansing was needed — You can follow him if you say choose — Phil Hellmuth on Twitter. I’ve decided to pass on inviting him to my next home game.
