Never play a shitty hand against a pro you may win and get smacked in the face by "the Brat of Poker" Phil Hellmuth Jr.
I feel bad for Phil because he used to be the youngest poker player to win the W.S.O.P. but when Joe Cada won it at his age. I think Phil was sitting back watching history unfold as his title was beaten by a youngster. So Phil I will respect you at the table but I'm not laying down pocket aces because I think you have a JOKER. The video below is of Phil making a fit after losing to a bad player.
The dream is dead and ounce the dream is dead, about the lights, camera, action. Then the pot seems to grow more and more. The money comes in when your ready. A bracelet comes with prestige. 30 bracelets, well your going to have to give Phil Ivey and apple and I.V. because that player will be playing on his deathbed. He loves the game more than any player I know. He taught Paul Darden how to play. The video below is Paul Darden playing 7 card stud wsop 2001 event. Just check him out he's a real good stud and holdem player.
Phil Ivey can play any hand dealt to him and play them like they are monsters. His read on players is ridiculous, its like he knows what they are thinking, like he could steal their chips and their very soul if he wanted. I'm sure he's ruined many of bad poker players in long sessions of heads up play against him and taken their last dollar. He's the greatest in the game right a House Player who should always get a round of applause when he enters a card room. I'd have to say what hurt Phil Ivey the most was the W.S.O.P. 2003 where he got sucked out on my Chris Moneymaker, hitting a one-outer, Ace on the river to give Moneymaker Aces over Queens beating Phil's 9's over Queen's. I remember the look on Phil's face, its like he knew he was going to lose that hand. Well I'll just let you watch the video to see Phil's reaction, he didn't shake MoneyMaker's hand after losing because that was his chance to be one of the greats. He got 9th place if he would of one that pot he would of got 1st place and the rest would be history. Roll the video please..............
I feel ya Phil maybe next year 2011->30 bracelets keep your head up stay healthy
