Phil Hellmuth Talks Online Poker Legislation, Sponsorship

On Friday, Dec. 9, Phil Hellmuth joined host Mark Hoke on Short Stacked Radio and hinted that he may be signing with a new poker site within the next two weeks in preparation for the legalization of online poker.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if online poker were passed in the next five days,” Hellmuth said in the interview. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it passed before Feb. 1 ... I think there’s going to be the biggest explosion in poker history the minute [online poker] is legalized.”

To position himself for the legalization of online poker, Hellmuth said: “I happen to be in a pretty lucky position where we have had more than one discussion recently, you know, there’s some very big companies and some very big people that are starting to get ready for the legalization of online poker. You may find me signing something in the next two weeks. You may find me signing with a company that no one’s ever heard of. Don’t be surprised if that happens.”

The full interview with Hellmuth can be found at USTREAM.

I haven't played a hand online since 4/15, but I'm still holding out hope.

Frankly, I miss the money.

I think though that if when it does become legalized and regulated in the U.S. it's going to be like the early days of online poker all over again. Basically a license for anyone with a decent skill level to print money.
