No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor on the planet by quite a few of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to learn whatever he could about poker. He would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the adverse comments from others annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors on the planet.
He started competing intently after getting a fake ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his techniques at the casinos in Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP where he made 2 final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his achievements to discipline and an undying love for the game of poker. Phil states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very abashed about his achievements. He admits to making mistakes every single session of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a normal basis.
