POKER INFO - PROILE - Phil Ivey

People on this site have just watched espn or wpt and are just repeating what they see.The true sign of a class poker player i my opinion are "cash games".People who play at the high limits and can cut it are the real players.Phil Ivey is certainly one of them.As is Doyle(obviously)jennifer,daniel,chip reese,chau guiang,oppenheim,ted forrest,greenstein.TV stars such as Esfandiari,Fischman,Boyd would go bust playing in the biggest games.Esfandiari plays 80-160,now thats not world class.

Classy player and big tipper.A credit to poker.Go Philly!!

I played with phil in a big cash game last night. Ted Forrest was there too, and Dan Negreanu. Oh wait it was actually mommy, daddy, and scuba steve pretending to be them.

Phil I think that you play the game very well.Youare one of the world's best poker players.I love to see you play.I would like to play you head up.I know2005 you would win the worldseries ,good job! (N.C)

Hes a good cash game player but if you see him in single player tournaments against the best he really cant compete(WSOP TOC, FSN Poker Superstars) This kid is considered to be one of the best ever, while Gus Hansen is considered by some to be a joke. Gus is smarter player with more heart then Ivey and i would back him over Ivey any day of the week.

I am 16 and i just started playing poker a lot more and i am winning a good bit. I have got a lot of my style from Phil Ivey. I really likes the way he plays. All i can say is Phil Ivey is the MAN!

saying that phil ivey cant compete in tourneys???? i admit hes had a run of bad luck , but hes killing em in cash games ..every pro fears ivey,,gus is a great player but heads up calling the winner would be hard ..if they played 100 times it would be like 50/50...saying ivey is one of the best ever is premature...hes a great pro no doubt, but time will tell on how great he will be

all these pros they all sucs they just got lot of money to play with.

God damn moneymaker! He is sooooo lucky. Phil should be crowned king of poker!! You da man PHIL, you da MAN.

he bet 500 dollers that he would win in golf which he never played before!

psychic theyll make good poker player cause they could read ppl. phill ivey cool cause he dont complain and cry like some pros like phil hellmuth little cry baby. take the loss like man not like a little baby

dont badmouth ivey, he's the most emotionless player ive ever seen and he makes reads i cant believe, you say he got lucky on the turn in the WSOP i say he got unlucky and was bad beat, he had the cards and Moneymaker got lucky thats all there is to it, unlike other poker players he didnt run off screaming and cussing he shook MM hand and that was that, Money Maker and this new fossil fag are really nobodies and get lucky on draws.

Ivey has killer instincts and is better then any of you will ever be.

This is the type of guy who makes millions at casinos in cash games. However sadly as the the total number entrees into the wsop increases the odds of him winning a main event bracelet goes down. This guy has more money than any of you think.

he's good, but doesn't do well on poker superstars invintational

no he just beats the biggest cash games in vegas on a regular basis...

Its amazing to me these amature players insulting phil Iveys game the guy won three world series braclets in one year. I would love to see the players that insult his game do that. These are the guys who dump off all there money at the online casinos. They watch him play ten hands of poker on tv and think they know what kind of a player he is. Beleive me Phil would love to play any of you fishies and take your money and shut your mouth.

anybody who doesnt think Phil Ivey is a good player does not understand the game its amazing how bad the average poker player is and how badly people misunderstand the game of no limit hold em.

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.

"... amature players insulting phil iveys game..."dude, im not insulting him..... he's one of ma fav. players since ive seen him on WPT..... its that he should've been more agressive, but how can u be agressive against gus hansen?

phil ivey is an agressive player, and the best defense is attacking, i won one hand against him, he had trip 6 on the flop, i had flush draw ace 3 clubs, he check i bet 4000$ he calls, i check again he checks on the turn. on the river i bet 12000$, he reraise me i thought he had full house , so i just call

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.

Who is this guy who played with Ivey at the final table and is criticizing him for playing pp too much? This post isn't about you and you know why? Because you are a nobody. It's when they stop talking about you that you turn into a nobody. Phil is a supurb poker talent with amazing discipline and self control

there are only two players people want to see go head to head on TVPhil and the Devil...

Phil Ivey is one of my favoirte poker players and is one of the best in the world

This kid is as old as most of us and he is a pro. Dont knock him for being good and u wanna be that way.

the tiger woods of poker

very original kev...did u just make that up?

im sick of hearing everyone dog on phil bout over playing ace queen. everyone has a favorite hand they like to play. some poeple love seeing J7, or KT. if thats the hand phil likes to play, let him play, specially since none of these posters have ever been in as many major tournaments and been as successful as ivey, quit doggin his game and go get your own

watch out phil, your bankroll is mine. LA slick
