Want to share a must read with you. Bluff Magazine May edition. Michael Craig did an article "The Banker & The Ice Man". He had the chance of a lifetime to witness one of the classics in poker history.
I cannot do justice to his story but I can give you a small quote.
"Despite my initial skepticism,Phil Ivey blew me away on every possible level.There was his demeanor,his commitment to fairness,and openness in gambling,his style,and, of course,his skill. These games between Andy Beal and the pros are the most interesting story in the history of poker. Phil Ivey completely hijacked that story,establishing himself,in this unique non-public but ultra-conspicuous game,as the best poker player alive and maybe the best of all-time. Objectively,three days of poker cant do that. But legends grow from moments. In fifty years,no matter what happens to Phil Ivey,people will talk about what he did in these three days."
Glad people are starting to agree with me,he is good, and one of the best players I have ever seen,especially when it comes to reading the other players. So if you get a chance pick up a copy of Bluff, read the article and see how Phil takes down"The Banker" for a cool $16,000,000.
