Wow that is crazy

**goobretty** · 07-31-11, 10:21 AM

Glad he got money, but all the players with funds on there are never going to see their's.

**Numenor80** · 07-31-11, 11:18 AM

If he's not making money at poker, makes you wonder who is.

**AzNDooM** · 07-31-11, 11:20 AM

Cnat see out of all players why he would require a loan. Thanks for the source and information however.

**bigdog3580** · 07-31-11, 11:53 AM

I agree he is overrated. Lotsa Pros just as good as he.

**PlatinumBerg** · 07-31-11, 12:01 PM

It isn't easy to make money at poker any more. Everyone knows what they are doing. Poker should be seen as a hobby, not something you can make a living on.

wow thats insane

maybe he knew he had money coming.. but wanted to gamble or make a business deal.. who knows.. ... don't you wish you could just borrow 10million on the arm like that...

i do

**Inspirited** · 07-31-11, 04:22 PM

I don't think Ivey is overated at all. He's just has a gambling problem when it comes to craps and probably other things. At poker he is a beast.

**lolbear** · 07-31-11, 04:50 PM

taking it with a grain of salt. ivey is not overrated as a poker player, the man has 8 bracelets with 8 different games, none in holdem. i think his holdem game is overrated though

**katstale** · 07-31-11, 04:58 PM

Not sure timing of the loan, but he might have used it to pay himself out of the marriage rather than liquidate things. Many do this.

**AribaAriba** · 07-31-11, 05:12 PM

gambling is a disease to some that cant be controlled.

**zeron** · 07-31-11, 05:17 PM

so now I know who got my money...

**Enkhbat** · 07-31-11, 10:37 PM

I wonder how much Ivey lost at craps tables

It's easy to play poker where every game is a freeroll for you but not everyone else.

Look how scared he used to play earlier, big change before and after full tilt.

**oiler** · 07-31-11, 10:50 PM

he bets on everything he does.i bet he bets how big his shit is when he goes to the bathroom first thing in the morning

**borgsta** · 07-31-11, 10:58 PM

Apparently he loses a fair bit on golf aswell.

**rumple** · 07-31-11, 11:08 PM

Poker is a dying game, so boring.

Not sure if that's true the WSOP just had the most entrants ever.

As for boring, I would agree with that.

Sad but true. That's probably why he "boycotted" the WSOP in case this came out beforehand.

**thetrinity** · 08-01-11, 07:45 AM

iveys the biggest degenerate in all of vegas, makes mike the mouth look like mary poppins.

you wouldnt think that, but its the truth.

the players all go against each other, but they are kinda a "team". they frequently loan each other money, not this kinda money albeit but its not uncommon.

**tshizzle** · 08-01-11, 09:06 AM

not surprised. HE was gonna be the next poker great, but never really has panned out.

**l7ustin** · 08-01-11, 09:11 AM

source? i dont believe this without a ******* source....why do all of you just take this guy at his word?

**wikkidinsane** · 08-01-11, 02:36 PM

Are you guys stupid. Phil Ivey is the best poker player in the world. Why did they give him that loan? Because they know he can pay that back within 1 week if he wanted. Ivey has good credit in the poker world. He didn't pan out as the greatest? I differ. Name a poker player better than Phil Ivey. His stats speak for itself.

he is one of the biggest degenerates you will ever encounter

**Art Vandeleigh** · 08-01-11, 11:49 PM

Probably if he didn't resemble Tiger so much physically, and if he didn't "get big" during the Tiger era, he probably wouldn't have gotten the attention he has, but the comparisons are too tempting.

**mtneer1212** · 08-01-11, 11:50 PM

This is troublesome, and now, how can you believe him either.

**DeluxeLiner** · 08-02-11, 03:10 AM

Okay if you own a percentage of the company...can you borrow money from yourself?

**wikkidinsane** · 08-02-11, 06:10 AM

You guys are talking about "THE" PHIL IVEY right. The phenom
