NL Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and moved to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup whatever he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the detrimental comments from other people kill his dream of being one of the strongest poker players in the world.
He started competing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made 2 final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated quite a few of the well known pros including but not limited to "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 on the planet. Phil credits his success to dedication and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. He says that he is learning every day and is quite abashed about his success. Phil knows he makes blunders in each game of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
