NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before his first birthday. His grandfather introduced him to one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to pickup every little thing he could about poker. He routinely would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the negative comments from others destroy his ambition of becoming one of the strongest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started playing intently after acquiring a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his abilities at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first few years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the final table he defeated a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil made a decision to take his game to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to dedication and an undying love for the game of poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is incredibly abashed about his achievements. He admits to making mistakes in each game of poker and always aspires to get better.
Despite the fact that Phil has won some big tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a regular basis.
