NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before reaching the age of one. His papa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup every little thing he could about poker. Phil routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. Phil did not permit the detrimental feedback from others kill his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
He began playing intently after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos of Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning period and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the final table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable passion for the game of poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making mistakes every single session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he likes winning cash games on a normal basis.
