NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup whatever he could about poker. Phil routinely would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t let the negative comments from others destroy his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
Phil began competing seriously after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and an eternal love for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders in each game of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
