phil ivey is the goat and its sad there is not more documentaries about him. I think its cause hes black or maybe to quiet people don't care to make videos about him. He made more money then anyone period in online poker in a span over a decade online against the best players in the world before they were cheating with rta. He was the very best in a dominate way.

Around the 13 min. mark, about how Ivey has adjusted to the solver generation, was interesting as it parallels how the top chess player, Magnus Carlsen, has adjusted to playing against younger players that have spent a ton of time learning via computer. Play in an unorthodox fashion to get people to areas they haven't studied as much or at all and then it becomes about instinct and experience.

⁠@@PhilGalfond I have a sick/funny Ivey hand story. It was 2012 at Wynn Macao. We were playing 2/5k HKD NL with 3Vips on the table. Everyone had abt 500k-1m stack, except Ivey who had 2.5m+. There is one hand where Ivey was in the sb I was in bb. The vip one seat to my left made the utg(a reg) straddle to 10k so he can double straddle to 20k and the vip to his left triple straddle to 40k. Everyone folded to Ivey who opens for 110k, I folded the utg called and the 40k straddle also called. 3ways flop came 9♠️9♦️5♠️, Phil Cbet 200k, Utg folds and the vip called with roughly 450k behind after the call. Turn was 7♠️, Phil bet again for 400k and the Chinese vip stands up from his chair says “you have AceKing, CALL!” Now the pot is over 1.5m with vip has only 5-60k behind. River came the 8♠️. Phil snap puts the vip allin. The vip shook his head and made the call. Phil said “you’re good” and turns over K♣️T♦️, the Vip turns over 45 of ❤wins the pot with bottom pair…… after few rounds the 3Vips all got up at the same time and left. So all the regs racks up their chips and as the game are breaking, Phil said “anyone wanna play HU?”. No one said a word and left.

As a regular in Atlantic City who started playing poker at around exactly the same time (mid 90s) as Phil, I used to play 1/3 stud with him at Resorts when he first started. Later when I moved up a little, I played 5/10 stud with his dad at Taj on many occasions. Used to see him all the time at Taj and Tropicana and am friends with his friend Eric and others he was friends with. After not seeing him for several years after he moved to Las Vegas, I saw him at Binion's during the WSOP many years ago on a trip out there, and he immediately recognized me and gave a friendly head nod. I still can't believe what happened with him. It's kind of surreal remembering back to the old 1/3 limit days at Resorts. I got some stories also.

Awesome stories. Enigma is right that’s for sure. I battled Phil tons online and live, worked with him on 2 poker sites, and he’s still mostly a mystery to me. Most of all I’m impressed how he’s done so and been so intimidating across the board - while generally remaining a likable guy who commands respect from everyone in poker. That’s so hard to do over 20+ years in an industry that loves gossip and drama.

Amazing tribute video Phil! Really appreciated this one. Amazing thing about Ivey was his extreme confidence and presence at his peak. To be willing to do the Monte Carlo play or the 52 shove vs Lex says it all. Veeery few are able to do that. And of those very few EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is not as disciplined as Ivey was in his prime to only do it when his gut told him it would work like a 100% of the time based on his read and that's why he did it. Not just recklessness plus a read. I feel very bad for him about his legitimate table games addiction. It was clear to me as someone who struggled with the same thing it was a legitimate addiction, not healthy for his overall life and career. Then toss the FTP and divorce on top. Happy to see him thriving now. He is a really sweet man, and been a little too hard on himself for his mistakes. It got him down a few years undeservedly so. He gave so much joy to so many by being who he was. That extra mystery and aura of excellence to aspire to and wonder at.

You can have all the 'solvers' you want and play a very technically 'sound' game, gto etc, but the fact is, we're humans, we are emotional, we are affected by many factors, and one of the biggest factors is how we're 'running' over shortish periods, sometimes we have all been impulsive and made calls we know we shouldn't out of sheer frustration, that is where I think Ivey maintained his edge.

The implications of that hand vs moneymaker were INSANE. If Ivey wins that hand decent chance he goes on to win the whole thing and poker probably doesn’t boom anywhere close to where it did. Phil Ivey doesn’t get stupid rich from full tilt, negreanu from poker stars, hell there’s a decent chance I’m not even posting this comment on your channel because you chose a different path other than poker. I could go on and on. Having Phil lose that hand to moneymaker was massively + EV for the poker economy.

Mr. Galfond! Great job. I agree with you 100 percent about the 03’ main event. I was also younger 16, and just getting into poker myself. That exact part about Ivey taking the beat and just walking away 10th in the biggest field ever at the time, and having 0 emotion stuck out for me. I became a life long fan of his at that moment. The sheer discipline to not react and to just know in his mind he is that good is something like Michael Jordan and that killer mentality. Thanks for this Doc! You are also a fantastic player and hopefully someone will make a Doc about you in a similar fashion one day!

One of the best documentaries of Poker and the single best documentary of Ivey ever. Thank you so much for making this, Phil G!

This is great! Bringing the personal aspect to this type of biopic is a great idea and really adds a lot of value instead of a more general documentary.

This video was worthy of the subject. Would love to see more videos like this on some other notable players, eg. Tom, Viktor, Patrik, Fedor, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now.

That's so cool we had the same introduction to Phil ivy. In the first time in 2003 wsop the commentary kept calling Phil "the heavy favorite to win". He had such a quiet intensity I thought he was the perfect poker player. I actually didn't get to see his brilliance until a while later but was a fan from that very first time in wsop

@@PhilGalfond thanks for asking! I’d watch whoever you felt compelled to do another about but the ones that spring to my mind are Tom, Patrik and Viktor. Anyone who you sort of felt in awe of or was different in some way would be great. I’ll definitely watch this more than once though, you started off with the best IMO.

Phil without question this was a extremely high qual production. I would like to add that. I know some of the golden era nlhe online beasts and those were not only the most talented but also the hungriest, dedicated, disciplined, studiest dudes who put all of it together in order to bring home the cash!!!! I can only imagine that phil Ivey was the hungriest to win like a MJ or a Tiger Woods!!! Obv putting the like of you and tom in that category. CHEERZ THANKS FOR DOING THIS KIND OF CONTENT
