Phil Ivey - Poker Legend

By Yushua Ryoichi

There's no doubt in mind of the professional poker players to whom they will place their money in a table full of known poker players, they are going to put their money to Phil Ivey. The problem is that the general population is not aware of him because he's not yet win a huge tournament.

Phil possesses 8 Final Tables in WPT events, and 1 win. He as well gets 6 WSOP bracelets (he won #6 mere days ago) but none of these bracelets are in Texas Hold' Em, with a few exceptions Hold' Em is the only poker game adaptation on television. Phil make a lot of money every year on the poker tables unknown to the ordinary citizens. That's why he is so famous as the most excellent poker player in the world because he is a very good in cash game plays making it as his way of living. Tournaments are not his main priority. His experienced in various cash games is seen on the WSOP bracelets he owns.

Phil make millions each year on the poker tables unknown to the ordinary citizens. That's why he is so famous as the most excellent poker player in the world because he is a very good in cash game plays making it as his way of living. Tournaments are not his main priority.

His ability to win cash games can be seen on his rewards. He got 6 bracelets so far from 5 different WSOP games. You see, if you want to be a superstar like him that plays against the best poker rivals like Doyle and Co., you need to have definite knowledge about all kinds of poker games, because in these games you'll encounter a mixed combination's of games each night.

This is due to the fact that all poker players has a game preference in poker and they tried hard just to include it in the rotation.

This is due to the fact that all poker players has a game preference in poker and they tried hard just to include it in the rotation. He also played 7 Card Stud well, acquired 2 PLO bracelets and 2 mixed events bracelets. He also managed to grab final tables in a number of H.OR.S.E tournaments.

There is no other better player than Ivey concerning those games. He also play at high stakes games. How far can he go in terms of betting. Well, for the record last February of 2006, he played against Texas billionaire, Andy Beal in a Limit Texas Hold 'Em game with $25,000/$50,000 at stake. Phil won a lot in three days, about $16 million.

Maybe you'll pick another best player in the world according to your game play. But Phil Ivey can win them all and if I have to select, Ivey is still the best poker player in town. One deficiency he had from the start is that he never won a Main Event in his career, but once he get one then the discussion is over.
