#37The best part of him winning the bracelet was all the side action he got on that bet with negreanu. They were both playing every small buyin razz o/8 lowball and horse events they could. They had to be a favorite there.Comment -

#42While I appreciate your analysis, James, and much sense is contained within -- in actuality -- all Ivey is doing in this hand is chasing the nuts. Which is fine, but he doesn't think he has the best hand while calling, as evidenced by not calling the riv bet (ultimately).
IMO, Dwan is the only one that played the hand great; for Ivey to have played it great, he would have had to do something along the lines of what Jeff was saying; or simply, ultimately figure out Dwan there... call & win. Which made that particular posted hand seem incongruous if trying to illustrate how great Ivey is (Sho says it wasn't to make a point, fine, accepted. But it could be interpreted as coming across as such... especially when using the phrasing "speaking of which")
We can all agree Ivey is an indisputably great player while disagreeing on how "great" he played this hand.
Yeah, a classic one for the ages. Not that analogous to this hand tho, IMHO, for a few reasons.
Now the brad booth hand ...

#48Like to watch him but think he's somewhat overrated. He plays quite a bit of risk poker, put a man in a decision for all his chips way, works for him because of his reputation. He's fun to watch and plays by feel not like some of these mechanical guys who are chasing pot odds which youll rarely get in no limit.Last edited by jtoler; 07-02-14, 12:17 AM.Comment -

#49Boeingpower Ivy can play in 25 events with let's say 500 people at this table plenty of amateurs will win with him there
Ivy or any other pro would be lucky to win one time
In real pro sports amateurs don't win and in most cases are not even competitive
Poker and professional play is highly highly misused
Kids in high school with basic math skills can win poker events
It's all about the cards
If I move to Vegas and for the next 10 years enter every World Series event possible of course I'm going to win a bracelet eventually

#50Ivy is a very good poker player, especialy in tournaments, but he is a terrible gambler. He consistantly loses his tail wagering on football. He is also very busy paying off fines like many of his friends. The IRS owns these guys. Get them at a private game and see how things change in a hurry. Once he takes a tough beat, he falls apart.Comment -

#67Of course expert math guys might have a slight edge to make some money but it's not that much
Is proving poker players and the broke if they keep playing with their own moneyComment -

#68Lmao some of the responses in this thread show why there are pro players. A lot of ignorance going on. Should probably stick to the real skilled gambling like sports and horsesComment -

#69My favorite Ivey pic. Perfectly displays the disregard for money you need to be a player at his level.
Edit: 10 points to the first poster that can name the legend sitting to Iveys right in this pic.Comment -

or when its the end of a tourney - yes, that may be luck but when you make enough final tables, you eventually get your wins. still very nice cashes when you get that deep...
couldnt disagree more about the luck comments, and no, i dont even play much anymore....
