NL Hold’em Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the best poker contender on the globe by quite a few of the top pros. He was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching the age of one. His grandpa taught him penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to learn every little thing he could about the game. He routinely told his elders that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not allow the negative comments from others annihilate his goal of being one of the best poker players in the world.
Phil started playing intently after acquiring a false ID with the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the casinos in Atlantic City. The first number of years for Phil were a learning period and coming away with a win wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two 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 final table he defeated a number of the well known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He made a decision to take his game 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 on the planet. Phil credits his success to discipline and an undying love for poker. He states that he’s learning every single day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. Phil admits to making blunders in each session of poker and constantly strives to improve.
Despite the fact that Phil has come first in some big tournaments, he likes winning money games on a regular basis.
