No-Limit Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the number one poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching the age of 1. His grandpa showed him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about the game. He would tell his grandparents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the adverse comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
Phil began competing seriously after acquiring a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the next level and moved out west to Las Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to dedication and a continuing love for poker. Phil says that he is learning every day and is incredibly abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a normal basis.
