Poker Player Profiles

Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey has burst onto the poker scene the last couple of years and is now considered one of the top poker players in the world and many people consider him to be the future of the game. Although he is often referred to as the "Tiger Woods" of poker, it is a name he is somewhat uncomfortable with. "Tiger is the best at his game. I'm not there, yet" says Phil. He is only 27 years old but has been playing poker professionally for 10 years. He is a highly-focused and very consistent player who often places high in the money in a lot of the tournaments he plays in. Phil finished 10th in the 2003 World Series of Poker. The only reason he didn't finished better was because Chris Moneymaker made higher full-house on the river to beat him.
Originally from California but living in Atlantic City, he is a strong seven card stud player in addition to being a strong No Limit player, as evidenced by his win at the 2002 World Series of Poker and his placement at the final table in the 2003 event.

Ivey has a personality you just don't see it at the table cuz he's focused. And if you really think moon is better than ivey you are just ignorant. Even moon himself said if we have to play poker im in trouble. O and ivey didn't have enough chips to do anything but AI at the ft. so get off his di ck haters!

?????
January 2, 2010
After just watching the final table again on TV, it became apparant that Ivey is not a superior NLH tournament player..his game is based soley on the all-in bet, and using his bank roll(lack of concern about $10,000 buy-in)to put pressure on others who have concern about the money.

To many people pay him too much respect in these tournaments, because they don't have enough heart.

Darvin Moon has at least an equal amount of heart, if not more, and abetter disposition for NLH tournaments!

?????

Simple fact....Mr. Moon has played one (1) live major tournament, and finished second to a *&#@-out artist...at this point, his record is superior
to all others.

LOL are you really trying to argue w/ me by saying Darvin Moon is a better poker player than Phil Ivey? You could line up Darvin himself, all his family, and his 10 best friends, and not one single person would agree w/ you. I'm going to stop commenting on your posts b/c you are obviously making stupid posts just to piss people off. I just wish someone would ban you, you contribute nothing to this place and the majority of your posts are vulgar and offensive.

Another great post by mr angry question mark man. Yeah, you're right... Moon is way better than Ivey. Ivey isn't even in the same league as Moon. I guess you forgot how Ivey got eliminated? I'm pretty sure your boy Moon called an utg shove with AQ and hit a 3 outer. Who cares about that stupid flush thing where he mucked the winning hand. It was a tiny pot and it wasn't even at the final table

mr. question mark man,
Are you really talking bad about Phil Ivey? He already won two bracelets this WSOP, to make a total of 7, and now he is in the final table of the main event with 6k+ runners. Everything you ever post here is extremely negative and nonsensical.

?????
October 9, 2009
We'll see whath is excuse is if he busts out in nov 2009 main event final table...With over $8,000,00 at stake, he can BS all he wants..ther is no cash game to take its place!

You hit the nail on the head,but most folks don't know that Antonius is one bad dude,doesn't get the ink he deserves,Ivey always says he busts out on purpose to play cash games,yea right.

The Match I was referring to was the Aussie Millions Invitational a NL Hold'em tournament which is structured as a "Cash Game." ... All money on the table is real Australlian Money. Ivey bet blindly in Antonious with a pair of 2s and lost big time. Also, the time I saw him in the Belagio he was playing the big "cash" game.

I just watched Ivey get blown out of the Aussie Millions Invitational by Antonius, all the while Konik and Hopkins raving how he is the GREATEST player of our time. Ivey blows it everytime we see him on TV. Why does everyone set out to prove Ivey is the best when time after time he proves he's not. Cut the Bullshit out about this overrated ATM machine!!!

You'll find them at "fulltiltpoker" poker site. IMO its a pretty average place to play and the pros are rarely ever on. I only once saw Andy Bloch playing at a 5-10 limit table and he made a few hundred before leaving. If you aren't a "real money" player u cant use the chat facility, so u cant chat to the players if they are playing. Still nothing stopping you from watching quietly. Oh, and i think they just use their full names e.g. Andy Bloch

Phil Ivey is amazing. I would like to play a Live tournement with him, just to see how long it would take for him to take me out. Hes aggressive but hes smart. Most of his reads are dead on and he will stay on top of the poker world for a long time. Somewhere in the future he will win the a huge tournement like the Main Event.

7:05pm--The room has again been shocked beyond belief. Odds-on favorite since Raymer's departure, Phil Ivey, has been eliminated, getting every one of his chips in with JJ vs. KK. All the money went in preflop. The flop was Kxx two diamonds. Another diamond on the turn gave Ivey more outs, but they didn't come. Ivey is gone.

What u dont realise is that u can earn big money in poker tournaments, like over half a million just for a 10k buy-in for example. Ivey is currently in the top 10 of the final 60 at the wsop main event, and could easily receive a 1 million dollar payout or better just for a $10,000 buy-in amount. Thats a pretty damn good return, and only comes about through poker skill and yes, some luck as well. So he may not do well at cash games, which u can easily lose thousands in one hit, but he's an excellent tournament player and can sustain a living making tournament final tables. You see the difference now?

I started playing poker in AC (Taj Mahal) in 1998 and I used to see Phil Ivey play during 98-99. I never saw him get up with a rack of chips when he left; He would always lose. This is confirmed in the book "Aces and Kings" via Cindy Olivette who says he was just "experimenting." According to that book, he only had one job ( a telemarketing job for 3weeks) his whole life. How does someone without a solid job history or education get the money to lose at poker? Its obvious to any reasonable person he's a trust fund baby. Even the live game he play at the Bellagio is all against the same people, thus, half will lose and half will win all the time, so he isn't earning money (winning more money than you lose) while playing live games. He's no different than all those other dopes in AC. How come he doesn't allow a reporter to follow him around for a year to document his loses? Poker is not a profession and its not a sport, its gambling, and Phile Ivey loses more than he wins, just like every other gambler!

Phil Ivey is very impressive. If you had the tv on of an event he is playing in and turned it on to mute, you'd never knew if he was the chip leader or the short stack. I think that says a lot. He always has that look and demeanor no matter what is going on around him.

Best player alive in the world. Best players of all time list: 1. Stu Ungar (had the best instincts in the world)2. Phil Ivey (2nd already, may pass Ungar some day) 3. Phil Hellmuth (already 3rd, is going to hold many WSOP records for a long time once Chan and Dolly are gone, unless Ivey takes that over shortly)(really annoying though) 4. Doyle Brunson (the legend, began the way we play poker and is still playing great poker, WPT title, WSOP title for 2005) 5. Chau Giang (great in cash games, actually the BEST)*Daniel Negreanu is hot right now, but I need to see more of him to pass these greats. However, his world series has been terrible from what I hear. I would rate him in the top 10.I can't see how anyone could exclude Ivey from the "GREATS" list.

sonic, even if ivey didnt take that bad beat and won the hand, it is likely moneymaker would have make the final table. moneymaker would still have been third or fourth in the chip count. you could have included him in your hypothetical final table.

April 26, 2005
that's what i've been saying that moneymaker had to get lucky or phil ivey would have dominated the final table at the 2003 wsop. Grey, Pak, Benvinisti, Lester all play too tight and would get pushed around by Phil. Singer, Vahedi, and Farha would all bluff off all their chips to Phil. Only Dan Harrington would pose a serious threat to Phil Ivey at that table.

Phil Ivey has burst onto the poker scene the last couple of years and is now considered one of the top poker players in the world and many people consider him to be the future of the game. Although he is often referred to as the "Tiger Woods" of poker, it is a name he is somewhat uncomfortable with. "Tiger is the best at his game. I'm not there, yet" says Phil. He is only 27 years old but has been playing poker professionally for 10 years. He is a highly-focused and very consistent player who often places high in the money in a lot of the tournaments he plays in. Phil finished 10th in the 2003 World Series of Poker. The only reason he didn't finished better was because Chris Moneymaker made higher full-house on the river to beat him. Originally from California but living in Atlantic City, he is a strong seven card stud player in addition to being a strong No Limit player, as evidenced by his win at the 2002 World Series of Poker and his placement at the final table in the 2003 event.

February 28, 2005
Half of you people that post on here apparently aren't smart enough to speak in proper English so how can you talk shit about one of the world's best poker players? I hate all this talk about how he should quit playing a/q because he keeps running into pocket kings. Do you know what the odds are that at a smaller table your opponent will be holding pocket kings? It's not 50% as some poster said. Ace queen is a very strong hand short handed so get off his back. He's aggressive, and it's that aggressiveness that has got him where he is today. If any of you people think you're that brilliant I'd love to play with you because I don't think half of you have played poker in your life. I play at pokerroom as badbeat3333 and at bodog.com as badbeat33. I would welcome most of you idiots to play with me. It's not as easy when you can't see someone else's hole cards. . .

And the reason why you don't see Phil Ivey winning a whole lot of tournaments is because he doesn't play a whole lot of tournament. He said in an article in Card Player Magazine that when he hears about a tournament he often declines because there are cash games where he knows he can make more money. His t.v results don't do him justice. And his reputation is based on talent and not skin color sympathy.

Uh..for all those trashing Ivey..he's probably the best cash game player on the scene. He's probably made well over 10 million in the last few months alone. The guy logs between 50-90 hours per week at the 4-8K tables at the Bellagio and doesn't lose often. He is sick. He seems to be concentrating more on cash games than toruney's but then who can blame him when he probably takes hom more in 8 hours play than he could in 3 days play at a tourney.

August 15, 2004
gabe, no because, on the flop its three cards, and on the river its one card, so that the chance that moneymaker won is very very little, ofcourse ivey had luck on the flop, but moneymaker had luck too on the flop and then on the river too.. I think moneymaker is good, but if ivey had won that pot he could have won everything..

Ok, about the moneymaker vs. ivey hand. I think it was a poor move move to call 70,000 dollar value bet bet into a 200,000 dollar pot for several reasons. Firstly the pot odds don't warrant it, he gets 5-1 on his money as a 10-1 dog. Secondly, theres no way he can bluff at the pot because it's pretty obvious moneymaker has the queen. In that hand, Lester had 10 10 and was smart enough to get out after the flop, because it was obvious to him that moneymaker had the Q. (Preflop Iver was a HUGE underdog to win) Then on ther turn, moneymaker bets 140,000 and gets raised all in. He has 7 outs (3 aces, 3 sixes, and one queen) He's getting the same pot odds that Ivey got for the bet on the flop, and his chances of hitting the river were just as good as ivey hitting the two outer. So why the hell does everyone say what a horrible beat it was for Ivey... he was behind the whole hand except for 1 miracle card, and one lucky card deserves another

this guy starts laying aq down at final tables, he'll win more than one wsop by the end of his poker career. Count the times he's gone out on AQ on t.v. coverage the past year. It's called the Brunson for a reason, and its not that its a lucky couple of cards like 10-2. AQ means your opponent has big slick kings queens or aces 50% when you make a preflop move allin with it. Best young player in the game, once he holds out for big slick at those final tables, he'll be wearing championship bracelets on his ankles, because there won't be any room on either arm.... Best of luck to you Phil

Phill Ivey is one of the best. Not the best, just one of 'em. When you get to that level of the game, where you are constantly at final tables its really hard to say who's really better. I mean no body would seriously say that money maker is better than Chan, but he bounced him out of the WSOP. In any event you have to repsect ivey none the less. I mean the guy is toatally ice at the table. He doesn't respond at all. I've seen him lose 500K pots with the same reaction as winning them. That's why he's my favorite pro, the guy has ice water in his veins.

I dont get it. Why does looking like Tiger Woods make him the "Tiger Woods" of poker? Tiger has one nine majors and is the best golfer alive. Phil Ivey has never won the big one.

Bunch of racist, you can't even keep a poker post strictly poker, you are so intimidated and mad that another black man is taking over another one of your sports that it turns into name calling. Look past that and see a great player who just took down the live tourney at turning stone. If you don't agree fine, thats your opinion but don't bring color in this. Get an education.

The tournament is too large scale to be shown live... with the technology we have so far anyway. Hopefully WSOP will be a live event at some point in the forseeable future, but for now, you will have to settle for just taped episodes of it.

whoever said he made a bad call on the flop with pocket nines with a board of Q-Q-x is a fu--in moron..the pot had about 200,000 in it after the flop and moneymaker only bets 70,000..so ivey is risking 70k to get back 270k when he can potentially have the best hand and still draw to the the boat..moneymaker made the bad play by letting him in cheaply..then he got lucky..you sir are a moron who knows nothing about poker and odds..go read a book

its all cool to say these kind or dumb things about this man on the net.no one will ever achieve what this guy has done and if by some moneymaker long shot you do, i hope they make a site about you and you get dissed. the best players play one hand at a time at any given tourney or cash game. the player with the most succes is the one who keeps his emotions in check.

Phil Ivey is for sure one of the best poker players. Poker will only get better for Ivey in the years to come. He will most likely make the final table or win the WSOP soon...good luck Phil

Asked him to play heads up $2000 - $4000 twice. He refused both times. My poker bankroll is about $ 7M, and he was scared of that. It is all about perpsective and that goes for any player and their respective bankrools. I can end any "professional" based on cash. Bankroll plays just as large of a part as luck does, in any poker game.

He made a horrible call on Q-Q-x? Sounds like you place people on the nuts every hand and play too scared to win unlike Phil Ivey . He had two pair, most GOOD players would make that call. That being said, he's definitly not the best but he's a great player.

I agree with IVEY IS OVERRATED. Moenymaker had A-Q and the flop was Q-Q-x. Ivey called a big flop bet with pocket 99s and spiked a 9 on the turn! MM bet again and Ivey moved in. MM called and hit an A on the river. What was MM supposed to do lay down A-Q on that board? Ivey got lucky and hit a two outer after making a horrible call. He deserved to lose and he is not very good.

Ivey is OVERRATED!

What's so overrated about Tiger Woods? Okay, he didn't have much of a season - big mistaketrying to self-coach but name another player who has accomplished as much in so short a time. And, since Tiger turned pro, golf players make nearly twice as much. He's done for golf pros what Ali did for boxers.

Most overrated player of all time..if he was white, he would be just another face in the crowd..not saying he isn't good, but once Tiger Woods (another overrated media darling) says he is the "Phil Ivey of Golf" then I will give him his due..

I've played with Phil from the time he played 10/20 stud to the time he moved up to 50/100 Hold'em. In term of poker skills, there is no doubt that he is a natural. The thing I respect him even more is his personality. I've neve seen him throw cards at dealer or curse at anybody the poker table. Good luck in the 2004 WSOP
