No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player in the world by quite a few of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover everything he possibly could about the game. He routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t permit the detrimental comments from other people destroy his dream of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started competing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the last table he destroyed quite a few of the better known pros 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 next level and headed out west to Las Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an undying love for poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is very humble about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making blunders in each session of poker and constantly aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he favors winning money games on a regular basis.
