No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandfather taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about poker. He routinely told his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the adverse comments from other people destroy his dream of becoming one of the strongest poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a learning period and winning was not a common outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed a number 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 headed out west to Las Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to discipline and an eternal passion for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every day and is very abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and always aspires to improve.
Although Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
