NL Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker contender on the planet by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of 1. His grandpa taught him one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup every little thing he possibly could about the game. He routinely would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not let the adverse comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil began playing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first few years for Phil were a learning period and winning wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to discipline and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making mistakes every single session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a regular basis.
