What does Phil Ivey do???

So after playing for 4 weeks of wsop tournaments and busting from the Main event what do you do if your Phil Ivey???? Well like Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negraneu and Eric Seidel you buy in to the Bellagio Cup VI for $10,300 on day 3 of the tournament yes thats correct day 3 start with 40k and these guys bought in late. registration was open until day 3 at 1:30 vegas time. Oh and by the way Phil Ivey is at a WPT final table for a record 9th time annd currently is sitting 2nd out of 4 left. The blind whe they bought in were at 1200/2400.

The guys incredible. He buys in on day three with less than 40 blinds and is now in second chip position. I wonder how intimidating it is sitting at a table with him...One day.

Great run by Phil. All the other guys that bought in on day 3 fizzled out pretty quickly. He is one of a kind.

Is it just me or does he...... naaa couldn't be.

Phil Ivey sux @ poker, i think he is about to run out of luck

I think it's the eyes ..Maybe I'm mistaken

hes definitely a pokerstars,i ve watched his video many times.every times he makes me filled with hope on the road of poker.

I was watching him play in the $1500 Stud H/L tourney at the WSOP this year. He's interesting to watch in person. His eyes really do go back and forth a ton, like he some kind of computer or robot.

I think he is a mind reader. Like supernatural sh*t

No disrespect Forsakenone, but if you think Phil Ivey is sorry and only depend on luck than you haven't been watching Ivey play poker. Or you believe the game is more luck then skills. Funny how you could even say such a thing. The majority of the poker pro believed Ivey to be the best all aorund player as of right. Study him and you will see that he plays in a different level, it like he has a six sense.

Yep, he's a super hero. He was hit by an exploding card while Gambit swung in to save the Taj Mahal from the Juggernaut, and Professor X used his powers to create a protective bubble around him and Beast went inside and stabilized him. Once they got back to the school for mutants they injected him with bubbling green ooze. After his recovery he discovered he could read minds, do medicine, and make cards explode. It's also rumored that when you piss him off he becomes giant and green and smashes things.

It's called wikipedia, use it.

I like the guy, but I don't need to draw supernatural conclusions. He's an excellent card player, and he's been playing a long time making a lot of money. He's my second favorite, my first being myself, because if you're not your own favorite at (almost) everything, you have self esteem issues. Or your worthless.

GOD BLESS YOU...YOU CLEARED EVERYTHING FOR ME ...


Now really though the explanation just about had me of my seat

Hey ckickenking,

I think Forsakenone was joking. You copied his statement, but neglected to add the important 'smiley face' which should imply a joke on his part.

Please tell me I'm correct here Forsakenone!

The results speak for him, the controversy is his reputation...!!

Ya think? I'd have to strongly disagree. I am definitely not my fav. poker player & for sure don't believe that I am worthless.

I like this guy.Phil Ivey .I learn video from him.Lol.And looked some article by him.

hes good but Durrrr is WAY better

ya durrr's good but isildurrrr is WAY better

HE'S a BEAST..I never wanna mess with him lol.. maybe if I have AA

I don't even want to mess with him even with AA unless I flop the Boat...Then Maybe

You know who's a monster don't you? Frampton. I don't know anyone who didn't have that album.

Ivey is a beast... he just as good as Dwan in cash, and amazing in going deep in high buy in live tourneys... the only thing he can't do better than other pros is online cash... lol.

Are you sure?

Ivey's pretty decent but honestly... compared to JoeShowdown.. pff.. it's not even close!! JoeShowdown is the bomb!

Is this ^ post kinda like 'spam'? But it's true! (does that make it not 'spam-like'?)

Your joking right?
Ivey crushes everybody at any game and you compare him to tom dwan who can only crush when playing no limit.

I dunno man.

Durr has +$900,000 profit over Ivey all time but...

Durr has played 307,650 hands
Ivey has only played 42,318

Look at that sick ratio... do the math.

Not to mention Ivey's Winrate using his telekinetic and mind reading powers Vs. Dwan, who I am waiting for him to drool on live TV some time... there's gotta be a lot of saliva filling that long jawed open mouth all the time

Ivey>Dwan

There's some great BB/100 numbers in there!

Are you crazy, you must not know the Ivey everyone else seems to know. I think Ivey is the greatest poker player in the world, and not that Hellmuth (idiot) guy.

I meant NLHE in comparison to Dwan. In all games I don't think he has an equal, he wins at games I don't even knows the rules for lol.

"The majority of the poker pro believed Ivey to be the best all aorund player as of right. Study him and you will see that he plays in a different level, it like he has a six sense."

It is like a sixth sense in that the amount of information he's processing is way beyond what you can process consciously--body language, eye patterns, language patterns, patterns and style of play, not to mention your basic odds calculations, etc., etc., etc...

Most of that information is processed at the unconscious level. Can the technique be learned??? Absolutely, but it's not easy and it's not for everyone. If you think you're ready, ask me how.

I think Phil Ivey is better than Durrr.. I saw durrr played.. He's just getting lucky most of the time.. actually I saw him lost to a random player high stakes..
he lost 10k I think that time..but I think he's just getting unlucky..
but Ivey's better lol

Look at highstakesdb. Ivey's online winnings are far higher then what ptr shows.

If you watch Durrrr play live, its like watching a fearless sick robot. He raises with anything, and somehow gets into his opponents mind and can discern exactly what they have, and make them think he has what would win the hand... I believe Dwan has never been down in a season of HSP history, online is different, losing 10K is nothing when your net is 5 million... the swings seem huge to us microstakes players, but 10K is probably 1 buy in for Durrr online.

Also, Ivey and Dwan are both sick NLHE live cash game players... this proves it.

YouTube- Tom "Durrrr" Dwan bluffs Phil Ivey in a monster pot

All reads the whole way.

^^^

$10K would be a very small BI for Dwan.

And while that episode was fun to watch, it's not really a good example of Ivey being outplayed by Durr. Ivey had some huge implied odds with the draws he had against a player like Durr, so it made sense for him to call to the river. When he missed his draws, I think it also made pretty good sense for him fold 4th pair to such a large bet considering the consistent action from Durr. If he had folded TPTK or 2p then it would have been more impressive. Remember Durr actually does hit his hands a lot of the time, so to assume he's always bluffing would be a mistake. There's a ton of hands that beat 4th pair there, most of them very much in anybody's range, let alone Durr's.

I think they're both extremely talented players, but Ivey by far is the most well-rounded and experienced player of the two. In a very specific game on Durr's terms, Durr *might* have an edge, but overall Ivey is no doubt the better player.
