A typical post picks up 22 interactions against 328K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 6,493 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 0.192% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 679 interactions, about 31x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #positivity, #poker, #pokerroom.

Compared with accounts its own size

phil_hellmuth's engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,493 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 13% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.007%, phil_hellmuth sits above the 10th percentile of the 65,864 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.016%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 65,864 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 57,191 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 18:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 86% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 33% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 232 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    It’s been exactly 3 years and 10 months since I last WON a poker tournament. Now here we are with a shiny new European Poker Tour @PokerStars trophy 🏆 €1100 Women’s High Roller. In that time between the W’s: 23 cashes. 6 final tables. A house burned down. Facing mortality. Moving out of Los Angeles. A whole lot of life lived. As messages of congrats have poured in, I caught myself qualifying the win: “It’s a small one, but I’ll take it.” @mhiggins called me out,“Always celebrate the wins no matter the size.” Poker is a numbers game. It’s second nature to measure our wins against the very big ones we’re surrounded by. What the numbers don’t measure is the ROAD it took to get there. 1,400 days.
23 cashes. 5 FT almosts. And a whole lotta learning, failing, pushing, recalibrating and growing in between. Maybe the real measure of a win is everything that came *before* it. And maybe that’s why being a winner today, in this moment, feels worth a hell of a lot more than $15,000 🙏🏽 📷 @MannyDaxwell 🎥 @pokerorg

    When in Houston, I always think about one of my best friends: John Bonetti (RIP), we lost him in 2008 Bonetti was tough as nails: a fierce competitor at the poker tables (ask anyone he played w him!), and a huge winner in poker tourneys. Bono was loyal, a good guy, and we had special relationship In fact, he was my best friend for a decade, and we got along swimmingly well despite our age difference of 36 years I miss you my old friend… #POSITIVITY

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 22 interactions against 328K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 6,493 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 0.192% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 679 interactions, about 31x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #positivity, #poker, #pokerroom.

What is phil_hellmuth's engagement rate on X?
phil_hellmuth (@phil_hellmuth) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 21 original posts from the last 30 days against 328,074 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.007%, phil_hellmuth sits above the 10th percentile of the 65,864 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @phil_hellmuth have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,493 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @phil_hellmuth post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.7 posts per day across the measured window.
