No-Limit Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil one cent-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to discover every little thing he could about the game. Phil routinely would tell his elders that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the negative comments from others kill his ambition of becoming one of the greatest poker players on the planet.
He started playing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching period and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved two final tables and won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he destroyed many of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his success. He admits to making blunders every single game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Although Ivey has won some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
