Phil Helmuth divorce
Irish Mike
months ago. Is this true? Also, wasn't his wife a psychiatrist? Looking
at Duke, Moneymaker and Helmuth it appears that poker fame creates some
domestic risks.

Life creates domestic risks.

You can't argue with Mike when he has a sample that big.

Yes, his wife is a psychiatrist. As far as I know, they are still
together. His blog from this week mentions her several times. Any
kind of fame would create domestic risks, especially when it comes on
suddenly a la Moneymaker. That said, Phil's been married a long time
and his wife's been through all the ups and downs. While nothing is
impossible, I'd be surprised if he got divorced. In any case, it's
really no one else's business.

I haven't heard about Hellmuth, but if it's true, maybe A J Benza could get his
cable show going again. E! Mysteries and Scandals, at the end of each episode he
says, Fame, ain't it a "Hilary Clinton".
If I had to guess Hellmuth is still married. Psychiatrists are usually screwy
themselves, that's why the get into the profession. Her husband definitely has
emotional issues as we see all the time. It's like 2 crack addicts, they usually
stay together for life.

Ain't that the truth. I had one that I had to go to by court order, he
chewed his finger nails relentlessly as he listened to me. Another one I
saw for years, also by court order, used to tell me about his family
troubles. The main thing I told him was to have confidence in himself and
not be so paranoid. I think I might have been able to help him eventually,
but our sessions were only an hour each. I often felt that I was
short-changing him when the hour was up and I had to go. I felt guilty for
leaving him as he was just opening up about himself. The guilt that I had
for not helping my former psychiatrist eventually caused me to have to see
another psychiatrist.

If I had to bet, I'd say they are a classic addict/enabler type couple
who will always be together. It's very possible they are getting
divorced for business/legal reasons in order to protect some of the
family fortune.

Yeah, well.
You could just as well take him out of your killfile.
He hasn't posted anything for quite a while now.
I do not think he has accumulated enough Brownie points in the Care
Facility to let him have posting privileges.
I could be wrong, though.
Currently, I only have 2 residents in my killfile.
Spammers mutate so fast that it is useless to try to keep up.
Russ G and Ed Conrad.
I briefly let Ed out thinking that he would have given up by now.
But Noooo.
Sorry Ed, but back into the killfile with you.

She may teach child psych - but either way I'm pretty sure their night-life is

Have you ever let her read any of Paul's stuff and what does she say about Phil.
I bet it would be something about childhood social-pathology and its relation
to anal something or other. Just a guess...

I have a need to humiliate Russ every now and then, he dosen't seem to mind -

She's a clinical assistant professor at stanford. Not quite the same thing as
professor, it's not actually even faculty. Very prestigious however.

I think I just asked you not to read or reply to me anymore. Just as one
man to another, I'm just asking you as a gentleman. I don't want you
reading my stuff, let alone replying to any of it. We don't need to make a
big deal out of this. I'm not kidding. I'm just asking you to please stop.
Please leave me alone to post in peace and solitude. It helps me think to

I'm curious - why do you think "clinical assistant professor" is not
"faculty"?
Bill T

Clinical assistant professor is faculty, non-tenured track. Those in
the clinical streams are not expected to do much (or any) high-level
research to advance. *Someone* has to see patients and generate income.
I wouldn't call it "very prestigious". Most junior clinical faculty
positions go begging, even in the big-name medical centers.

I'd say any position like that at Stanford could legitimately be called

On further reflection, I guess that is true. I'm kinda jaded by working
with so many Stanford/Harvard/Yale grads back when I actually worked.
There were a few times when I was the only guy in the room *without* a
Harvard degree. The fact remains, most departments in almost all
medical schools are constantly needing clinical manpower at the entry
levels.
BTW, I am speaking in general terms, and I have no inside knowledge
whatsoever about Mrs. H's academic and clinical achievements.
Maverick

I disagree completely. Rich people often buy their way into those
positions in order to purchase prestige. Michael Milken paid
$1million to UCLA for the privilege to be a professor....same thing to
a former CEO of mine who wanted to teach at Harvard. Odds are she
bought her way into that position and it seems like a rather harmless
position as it is...
BTW, My money says she's a psychologist and not a psychiatrist as
people have been saying.

I am an Associate Professor, Part Time, for our local medical center.
They pay me $182 a month for this honor, enough for lunch, but I do
appreciate it; in return residents and medical students get to come and
hang out for one month rotations. It sounds good on the resume at least.

Huh? Hellmuth has been known to have been relatively broke in the not-
too-distant past (before the boom and his interest in UB) and his wife
has been on staff at Stanford for something like seven years. I'd be
very very surprised if he bought this position. $1M to Milken was not
much money at all; and while I don't know any details of your former
CEO's situation, I suspect he was much wealthier than Hellmuth 7 years
ago.

Sheesh, Mav. You don't have to *buy* a job as "clinical assistant

are easy to come by; three guesses why.
And, yes, she is a psychiatrist (real M.D.).

Well, I personally remember when Hellmuth was broke and he was

sight that was...I bet he doesn't talk about that on his website.
