No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker player on the planet by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover anything he could about poker. He routinely would tell his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the negative comments from others kill his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
He began playing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a teaching period and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated many of the well known pros including "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 Vegas. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing love for the game of poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil knows he makes blunders in each session of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he prefers destroying cash games on a normal basis.
