NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by most of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His papa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to discover everything he could about poker. Phil would tell his grandparents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.
Phil started playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Las Vegas. 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’s picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders in each session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Even though Phil has come first in some big-time tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a regular basis.
