Hi All,

I wanted to let my fellow CCers know that I was given the rare privilege to interview none other than Phil Ivey, the best poker player in the world.

I racked my brain long and hard + did plenty of research to try and think of questions that general fans of the game and recreational players would ask him, and he gave some great responses that I'm sure you'll find interesting. The fact of the matter is that when Phil Ivey speaks, people listen :)

Enjoy, feel free to share with other poker lovers, and please let me know what you think!

Robbie

The only thing I wonder about Ivey is how did he and Fergeson and some of those other pros connected with Full Tilt not get into trouble since the DOJ basically called that site a huge ponzie scheme. I understand if they couldn't talk about it for legal reasons, but as far as I know, none of them has so much as said "my bad" for promoting and supposedly being part of the ownership of that company.

Sorry for the sidetrack, nice article though.

Re: Ferguson, he entered into a settlement with the Department of Justice and never admitted to any wrongdoing. For what it's worth, I've "done my part" to try and call him out on that... http://cardplayerlifestyle.com/where-the-hell-is-chris-ferguson/

Re: Ivey, I don't know any specifics, but there has GOT to be some sort of legal info we're not publicly privy to... that area was sort of "off limits" during my interview of him and I respected that.
