HangukMiguk 8 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 if he played, he would be a significant favorite most likely.not many people can take theory from all the games and be able to recall and use them as well as daniel. this reason makes him a threat alone.that is...if he plays Link to post Share on other sites
blakheart 3 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It is a great format for him, but he probably will not play. He has blown off $10,000 buy in tournies that he actually paid the buy in for because the are not televised. He plays tournaments for the exposure as well as the cash.

Guest Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Exposure is pretty much the only reason alot of pros play the tournaments. Phil Ivey would not play a single tournament if it wasnt going to be televised, or get him recognition in things like Cardplayer's player of the year race, the money is chump change to him Link to post Share on other sites
ThatPkrGuy 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I would put my money on DN to cash if he plays...I figure him to be one of the best around when it comes to mixed games.just my opinion but i think i'm pretty accurate with it. Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like Ivey has a competitive streak a mile wide. The money may not "matter" but it is how you keep score, and from what Daniel says and anyone can observe, he seems focused to the point of being almost fanatical about being the best. Great quality in a poker player, and not enough people have it in real life, which is one reason much of the world is a shitstorm. Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites
