NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been referred to as the number one poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching turning 1. His grandpa taught him one cent-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was hooked on poker and wished to pickup everything he could about poker. Phil routinely told his elders that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental comments from others destroy his goal of being one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
Phil began playing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his abilities at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a common thing at the time. He became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he made 2 final tables and came away with his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a two dollar, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the closing table he destroyed a number of the better known professionals which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. He continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an eternal love for poker. He says that he’s learning every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He knows he makes errors in each session of poker and constantly aspires to improve.
Although Ivey has come first in some big tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a normal basis.
