Twelve of the fourteen Hellmuth wristbands have been in Texas hold'em, though he has quite a lot of success in non-hold'em events.

Personality and controversy
Hellmuth is known for his "Poker Brat" personality, especially after receiving a bad tap. In the first week of Poker After Dark on NBC, Hellmuth asked pro colleagues Shawn Sheikhan, Steve Zolotow, Gus Hansen and Huck Seed to stop talking when it was his turn to act in hand after Annie Duke picked him up. They initially meet, but when Hellmuth starts talking, he is mocked by Seed, who says, "please be quiet so I can talk," provoking laughter from other players. Hellmuth then threatened not to play on the show again and get out of the set. After the show's producer intervened, Hellmuth returned and eliminated some hands later by Sheikhan. Duke remained silent when the drama was played, although in later interviews, he described Hellmuth's behavior as "one of the biggest reactions I've ever seen."
On Day 5 of WSOP 2008, Hellmuth folded A ? Ã, K ? for Cristian Dragomir bets on the failure 9 ? Ã, 10 ? Ã, 7 ? . Asked by the desk to show his hand, Dragomir reveals that he has summoned the Hellfuth pre-flop to raise it back with 10 ? Ã, 4 ? , a much weaker hand. Hellmuth went on to call Dragomir an "idiot," among other humiliations, and finally issued a warning by floorperson to continue to berate other players. Other players including his friend Mike Matusow advised him to stop. Nonetheless, he continued to verbally abuse Dragomir until receiving a one-round penalty. The punishment must be made at the beginning of the play the next day. After Hellmuth had a private meeting with WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack, Pollack refused floorperson punishment.
