It seems like most people would easily put Phil Ivey as the best poker player there is. Seems like average players admire him the most. I do give a lot of respect to his game and agree that he is arguably the best player but I'm wondering what he does that makes him clearly better than other pros.
My personal fave is negreanu. He obvious having fun, shows the watchers he knows what he's talking about and gets his reads pretty damn close nearly every time (could be editing but whatever). Ivey is quiet and collects info and plays well but he's not doing anything that many of the pros do too. I can understand if you think negreanu, mouth, or helmuth are annoying but they get those same reads/plays. even the quiet ones like jesus or gordon or annie duke do things the same. I just don't get why Ivey seems to be hands down the best player, according to average players. Am I missing something about his game that puts him that much further than anyone?
