NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker player in the world by many of the top-ranked pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His papa taught Phil penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to learn anything he could about the game. He would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not allow the negative comments from others annihilate his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
Phil started playing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for him were a learning experience and winning was not a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his success to hard work and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s learning every day and is very humble about his accomplishments. He admits to making mistakes every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
