As one of the most well-known names in poker, Phil Hellmuth, otherwise known as the “Poker Brat”, has seen fit to release a five-part series of eBooks that will contain information about some of his most interesting and infamous hands in his legendary career.
The book series, titled Phil Hellmuth’s Legendary Poker Hands is currently available at iBookstore with more eBook merchants to come.
The five books offer varied information and titles are pretty representative of what each is about:
• Phil on Pocket Pairs
• Phil Bluffs and Gets Bluffed
• Hellmuth vs. Chan
• Phil’s Great WSOP Hands
• Phil Loses 5 Hands…And Lives and Learns!
This is not the first time the poker legend has tried his luck as an author and it does make sense that he would. He’s won the World Series of Poker eleven times and made the final tables in the World Poker Tour six times. His previous books are: Play Poker Like the Pros, “Phil Hellmuth’s Texas Hold’em,” and Read ‘em and Reap, which he co-authored with a FBI agent for extra oomph.
Hellmuth has become notorious for his tendencies to have tantrums and to go “on tilt” as well as his eccentric and dramatic entrances to tournaments and if these antics are anything to go by, his eBooks might be rather entertaining.

Doyle Brunson has become a rather dominant figure on Twitter over the last few months and amassed a substantial following. Brunson recently tweeted some poll questions for followers to answer. Three of them were: which player would you like to hang out with? Which poker player would you like to kill? Which poker player would you like to have sex with?
And the winners were:
• The poker player followers would most like to hang out with: Phil Laak
• The poker player followers would most like to kill: Phil Hellmuth
• The poker player followers would most like to have sex with: Shannon Elizabeth, Vanessa Rousso and Jennifer Tilly. The female vote was filtered and that list consisted of Gus Hanson, Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey.

There’s a new kid on the poker block and this time the kid really is a kid- she’s a 7 year old girl who seems to have become so adept at poker that she already knows over a dozen variants and even featured in Card Player Magazine.
Alexa Fisher's passion for poker began when she was only three years old when she saw it being played on TV. Her dad had also been using playing cards and chips to teach her how to count so she had become adept at the rules and basic strategy of Texas Hold’Em by the time she was five.
Alexa took a trip to this year’s WSOP where she made acquaintances with Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey and Johnny Chan. Poker legend Barbara Enright even took Alexa to Serendipity 3 where she treated the budding poker star to her very first Double Frozen Hot Chocolate. Many of the top pros saw her as a lucky charm and she even gave out some autographs.
While not attending elementary school, she learns as much as she can about Badugi and double-flop Hold’Em. Alexa has learnt the rules to the poker played at the WSOP and outlasted half the field at a charity tournament for Home for Pets.
