NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching the age of one. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil would tell his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the negative feedback from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil began playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the casinos of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching opportunity and winning was not a common outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed a number of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game 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 dedication and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his success. Phil admits to making blunders every single game of poker and always strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a regular basis.
