NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been labeled as the greatest poker competitor on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandpa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, he was hooked on poker and wished to learn everything he possibly could about the game. He routinely would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. Phil didn’t allow the negative feedback from other people destroy his goal of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
Phil started competing seriously after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He honed his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The initial few years for Phil were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a regular outcome at the time. Phil made his mark at the 2000 WSOP 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 quite a few of the better known professionals 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 headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Phil credits his achievements to discipline and an immeasurable passion for poker. He says that he is picking up skills every single day and is quite humble about his achievements. Phil admits to making blunders every single session of poker and always aspires to improve.
Even though Phil has won some big tournaments, he favors winning cash games on a regular basis.
