NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker competitor on the globe by many of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before reaching the age of one. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn everything he could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not let the adverse comments from others destroy his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors in the world.
He started competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a learning experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills 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. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an immeasurable love for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every day and is quite humble about his success. He admits to making blunders in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Even though Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
