Recommended Posts

That was very disappointing for me. I feel like I should have done a lot better. I should have prepared more, and I wasn't as focused as I would have liked to have been. I tried really hard, but my game wasn't there for the entire time. I've got no one to blame but myself.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/colum...zine&id=2304268

He's right.

If your point is that Phil should not be complaining about doing so well, you have to understand Phil Ivey. He was the best player left at that point and had a good size stack. He misplayed a hand that he did not need to commit himself that much with and that cost him the tourney.

Also, 300k means nothing to him, he's going for the win, he doesnt need money.

The point wasn't to say he was complaining. I know he misplayed a hand that cost him, but didn't know he wasn't focused throughout the tournament. To do as well as he did without his 'A' game is crazy.

Hey...late or not...it's a great interview and I appreciate the reminder...I'm still wondering how much Ivey bet on that golf game... probably 1 Million...or even a Brazillian... what do you think?

Compare what he says to what Phil Hellmuth jr says after busting out of a tournament and think about who you respect most.

Kinda what I was thinking.Listen to the difference in the way people explain themselves. I think it shows the quality of the person Phil must be.

even a blind squirel is right twice a dayer..........a broken watch can find a nuter..........
The fact that you are posting this everywhere is just sad. It was barely, perhaps, maybe worth a laugh the first time. But when all of your posts are the same thing. Get lost kid.

I call a boolsheet...three hundred grand means something to every body.
Did you read the interview?? He was talking about playing Chinese Poker with Barry Greenstein on airplane flights and how that game could have couple hundred thousand swings. Phil Ivey could care less about winning 300k when he has a chance at 7 Million and a title. It's the equivialent of me buying into a $10 tournament and cashing for 30 bucks. Yeah, it's nice to cash, but 30 bucks doesn't mean much to me. I want to the win.

I loved the article. Thanks for the link. Phil's an interesting guy. I think he might have a future in poker if he keeps his head on straight and keeps bangin that hot piece of ass AKA his wife.
What does she look like? I don't think I've ever seen her.

I saw her when Phil made a WSOP final table in 2004 and they showed her. I think that was it but i'm not sure.
