No-Limit Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker contender on the globe by most of the top professionals. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover whatever he could about poker. He routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not permit the negative feedback from others destroy his goal of being one of the best poker players on the planet.
He began playing intently after getting a fake ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The beginning number of years for Phil were a learning experience and winning wasn’t a common outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker when he made two final tables and came away with his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he defeated quite a few of the better known professionals including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Phil decided to take his game to the successive level and headed out west to Vegas. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players on the planet. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an immeasurable love for the game of poker. Phil states that he is picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his achievements. He knows he makes mistakes every single session of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he prefers winning money games on a normal basis.
