No-Limit Texas Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the best poker competitor on the globe by most of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to pickup anything he could about the game. Phil routinely told his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t allow the detrimental feedback from other people kill his goal of being one of the greatest poker players in the world.
Phil started competing seriously after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a normal thing at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he achieved 2 final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha game. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the well known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Phil credits his achievements to dedication and an eternal love for poker. He states that he’s picking up skills every single day and is incredibly humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making errors every single game of poker and always strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has come first in some large tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
