NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa showed him to one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wanted to discover every little thing he possibly could about the game. Phil routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not let the detrimental feedback from other people destroy his goal of becoming one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
Phil started competing intently after acquiring a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed many of the well known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Las Vegas. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and a continuing love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is incredibly abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes blunders every single session of poker and always strives to get better.
Even though Ivey has come first in some big-time tournaments, he likes destroying money games on a regular basis.
