Measured over 22 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 11, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 25 interactions against 328K followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 20,183 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 9.7K times each, and 0.258% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.96% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 82% carry an image or video and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 452x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
phil_hellmuth's engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 15% 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.

At 0.008%, phil_hellmuth sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,313 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 22:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 82% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 36% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 82% 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.
- 36% 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 377 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

Folks, my Father died Sunday afternoon. He went peacefully in his sleep. He had cancer, but somehow he had zero pain for the last 4 months (post radiation). Because it wasn’t a heart attack (like 90% of our male ancestors die from), we had 9 months to say goodbye, and he was sharp right until the end. It was a gift to be able to say goodbye to him over these last nine months. My Dad had perfect ethics and morals; he was honest, honorable, and completely trustworthy. Dad was like a big Oak Tree; he was solid, steady, and had deep deep roots. The entire family could count on him And he was nobody’s fool, he was sharp as a tack! In fact, he was a learned man, he had an MBA, a JD and a PHD. And Dad was a history buff: he spent time reading books about history He had a big job at the University of Wisconsin: although he never once, not once, did he tell us that! We knew he was on the athletic board for a decade, and that he was involved with Grants and Patents. Only yesterday did someone else tell me about how big his job was. [I spend too much time bragging and name dropping, but obviously I didn’t get that from him!] For two decades he was Chairman of the Board of—his beloved—University of Wisconsin Credit Union. In fact, his name is engraved on the building (the UWCU headquarters). I asked him about that once, and he said, “It’s nothing, the current chairman of the board has his name on the building.” It’s funny that, only now, do I understand how humble he truly was. He didn’t talk about himself very often, but he was always ready to hear about his children’s lives. He supported me by coming to the @WSOP for 34 years straight!! He saw me win the 1989 Main Event, and that was something for him to come to Vegas for 6 days; what with his job, his UWCU position, and my younger brother and three younger sisters. Back then, most thought being a pro player poker was akin to being a drug dealer. But, he showed up for me in BIG way… He loved “Masters Swimming,” swam over 10,000 miles lifetime (not exaggerating!), and finished top 3 in the World in “40-50 year old” category (he was 40) before his rivals turned 40 the next year. He loves swimming and coached my sister Ann—and her team—in special Olympics for 25 years He also loved watching sports, and enjoyed talking about the Green Bay Packers and the UW football team. I flew Dad out for the Packers Super Bowl in San Diego, and we were on sideline when Favre came back playing for Minn Vikings. His athletic Board position meant the UW paid for his trips to the Rose Bowl I love you Dad…May rest in the peace you so richly deserve

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

My Dad 😢 😭, the humblest in life (unlike me!), is getting big praise now that passed The UW Men’s Golf League (he was one of the Founding Members in 1965) is renaming the League after him! The Pleasant View Golf Course where the League plays is putting up a bench and a plaque w his name on it: Phil Hellmuth Sr. I didn’t know until yesterday that he was Captain of the University of Chicago Swim Team I knew that he was a huge advocate of Credit Unions, and was somewhat of a bigwig, but didn’t know until today that Dad was a Member the National Credit Union Hall of Fame (“Hall of Leaders”): UW Credit Union Pioneer Phillip Hellmuth Sr. Dies After 50-Plus Years of Service Phillip J. Hellmuth Sr., a longtime UW Credit Union leader whose service to the credit union movement spanned more than half a century, died this week following a battle with cancer. Hellmuth joined UW Credit Union's board in 1971 and served as board chair before becoming Board Director Emeritus. UW Credit Union President/CEO Paul Kundert said Hellmuth's leadership helped shape the Madison, Wis.-based financial cooperative and its service to University of Wisconsin students, faculty, staff and alumni. "Phil was a credit union pioneer whose profound industry impact shaped the very foundation of our cooperative," Kundert said. "He championed the true spirit of the cooperative movement: the simple, powerful idea of people helping people." Hellmuth's industry work extended well beyond UW Credit Union. He was inducted into the Credit Union House Hall of Leaders in Washington, D.C., and served as president of the national Education Credit Union Council. He also spent nearly 30 years working with the CUNA Management School in Madison, serving as a seminar leader and reviewing student projects. Hellmuth served nearly two decades on CUNA's Board of Examiners for the Certified Credit Union Executive Program, including a tenure as its chair. UW Credit Union Board and Management in 1981 with Phillip Hellmuth Sr. (top left). Outside the credit union industry, Hellmuth had deep ties to the University of Wisconsin. University records identify him as earning an MBA in 1965 and a Ph.D. in 1981. He was also a UW dean and the father of professional poker player Phil Hellmuth Jr. "Phil's wisdom, warmth and relentless dedication to our members established a culture of service that defines UW Credit Union today," Kundert said LOVE YOU Dad! #POSITIVITY

Performance or longevity. For years, it seemed like the field of BCI would have to choose between the two. Our accumulating preclinical data suggests otherwise: four years of stable neural recording and decoding in large animal models, with steady spike SNR and no electrode array migration.

- What is phil_hellmuth's engagement rate on X?
- phil_hellmuth (@phil_hellmuth) has an engagement rate of 0.008%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 327,633 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.008%, phil_hellmuth sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,313 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 (20,183 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 22:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.23 posts per day across the measured window.
