POKER INFO - PROILE - Phil Ivey

Along with a few others, Phil Ivey is one of my favorites. Besides his poker skills, he is a class act at the table and will be the best in years to come.

phil u r the best. u r my favorite player.u got robbed in the wsop 03 when moneymaker caught an ace on the river.u should have won.go all the way this year

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

Phil is one of the best players right now. Hands down...

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..

Phil Ivey is the second best player named Phil. I think we all know who the first is.

phil ivy is the best after phillip helmuth jr.

He only ever plays good hands!!! He never bluffs. ever. He is a very dull player.

Phil Ivey is the best nothin else to say but keep it goin playa

for all those people who are asking what has he done in the past 1 - 1 1/2 years, u may want to check out the cash games in vegas cause he is KILLING there. He hasnt played in many of the tournaments (you can check how many he actually entered in all of the WSOP) because hes busy getting to the side games. as far as this years wsop is concerned... are you saying whoever does best in the WSOP main event is a better player than everyone else for that year?

Phil Hellmuth Is The Best Poker Player Alive, He Has The Most Skill, Heart , And Determination, Philly Hellmuth Would Waste Phillip Ivey Jr. Heads Up In A 50 Million Match

Phil,is by far the greatest poker play alive. Maybe best ever. He's my idle and all i do is watch n hope to play like him someday. Keep it goin phil.

the player i fear most

1) I NEVER see P.I. in Atlantic City.... Where does he play?2)What the hell is all of this "Tiger Woods of Poker" crap? Because they are botth skilled black men? I think that is bullshit and racist....3) I totally sweat PI....

Phil lives in Las Vegas now. If your a professional gambler you have to be where they gamble. The east coast aint it.

Good pokerface, and has a good ability to read his opponents. Just a bit unlucky at times.

Phil is hot. I would be all over him if only he were a gay white talentless pop star.

Phil Ivey sucks. Gus Hansen is better.

Great player, but his final table halitosis lets him down

JESUS......Same crap as what people say about gus hansen. first of all, you only see 5% of what actually goes on when you watch t.v. 2nd, phil and gus BOTH play with brunson and other greats at high stakes games on a regular fricking basis. anyone talking smack about either of these players is just plain WRONG! you would lose to them 9 times out of 10.

great stuff: Raidan on Aug 21, 2004 phil is a true hustler, if anyone knows anything about poker/gambling/and hustling, its not about what you do at 1 event durring the year, its what you can do ALL year. phil wins and wins ALOT........of MONEY. where's all the REAL action durring the tournaments..... THE GREEN ROOM.

Tiger Woods of Poker??? Do me a Lemon.

phil ivey smile sometimes, lol

Question?Surely when it comes to playing and winning in poker(side games)its all about the people you are playing against.Why do the likes of ivey,harmon,brunson,negreanu all play each other surely there isnt that much between them at this level(otherwise they would be found out and lose long term)and it cant be prosperous.Do these guys usually play eg texan billionaires in there side games,who would want to play such good players?.Anyone know??

I have seen some of the guys in Reno even. They play 300-600 or higher games and tourist go give them their money to say they played Phil Ivey. I wouldnt sit at that table, but I cant afford $300 for a thrill.

he is a good player,alligator blood.

Phil Ivey..is about as average a player as you can get..!!..on a 0--10-scale.i,ll give the guy a 6..because..he,s better then a 5..!!

Has Got Game.and If He Gets Some Cards To Play With........look Out

keep winning that money phil its toms cousin

Jr where are you? Call me up, its your cousin Tom in NJ.
