What Makes Phil Ivey The GOAT? [Untold Stories]

[@PhilGalfond]

Hey guys, as you can probably tell, a lot of effort went into this video. This is a style I've never tried before, and I'd be curious to hear what you think! PS - free strategy and mindset content directly from me here: philgalfond.com/mindset-yt

[@ryanmcgee1797]

Noticed. Looks great! Thanks for the great content recently, you have helped my game grow.

[@willh4340]

I really, truly enjoyed the clips of other, in some instances, even more notable players (like Negraneau) to say what they felt about Phil, and how great he is!

[@JT-he7fw]

Very professional. Great work

[@impracticallyperfect8987]

Nice production

Ivey calling you on the phone to get reads off of you is legendary

[@tron1007r]

BEYOND LEGENDARY

[@Killerpantie]

@@tron1007r BEYOND BEYOND never seen shi like this

[@tron1007r]

@Killerpantie Listen, I 1000% agree with you. Ivy is the GOAT, but looking at this shit. I would believe the dealer was cheating if I had just walked up and not known who he was. Imagine you don't know Phil Ivy at all. You would think the dealer was a mechanic. A real magician mechanic. He was leaving those guys with "dust".

When Moneymaker busted him at the WSOP, .. Phil's demeanor and class after just shows you how much experience he has been through

[@barthilhorst7551]

What an awesome video. Great production quality and I love the many stories. This video is also a big compliment to Ivey himself. Keep it coming!

[@PhilGalfond]

Thank you so much! Ivey is incredible, so I'm happy to be giving him a compliment.

[@dewey-cox]

@@PhilGalfond you should really credit the interviewer...

[@OneOut1]

Excellent video for those interested in this subject matter.

[@smoothonthebeat]

When you said I think Phil was trying to get a read on me over the phone, I was done 🤣

[@ianboylan1981]

The genuine respect you have for him really shines through. Love that you included the Jackson hand, it is an amazing hand to showcase how incredible he really is. The man who did not blink. Great video Phil.

[@Pokerfarhang]

Wow this was great, thank you Phil and team, you are the best 🙏❤

[@PhilGalfond]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for acknowledging the team!

[@Hice_T]

Phil Ivey beating Andy Beal and getting the money back for The Corporation is legendary.

[@Podobed]

Yea but he had a huge edge and it was pretty much guaranteed. Of course the previous nits that played won some or lost- they had no business playing hu

[@Chino-bk9fd]

harman was the one who beat andy

[@AwarenessForex]

you have a video link for this win?

[@lukefraga8385]

This is like ABC documentary level stuff, doing this production all by urself is insane definitely earned the Sub 🤝

[@princeofpower8413]

I got so stoked when I saw this pop up on my feed and it did not disappoint! Great job Phil! I hope you make more mini documentaries like this. 👍👍

[@bentobul5932]

I love the way you do interviews as if someone is actually sitting across asking the questions.

[@NotInAsia]

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.

[@mmfb88]

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.

[@alexatedw]

Nah. There was a lot of game left

[@philmccutcheon5760]

That was excellent. Nice, crisp vocal audio, it moved nicely, and zero fat. Let’s see some more!

[@jai_a_fool]

Remained calm vs the Moneymaker bad beat and remained calm vs Moon beat 5 years later at the main event. Boss!! Ivey is a true legend and has inspired millions of players. Galfond Well done on this sensational video

[@Master-ng9uj]

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.

[@automatescellulaires8543]

Why is this particular guy always remembered as THE monster of poker. Makes you wonder. Seems he was / is a damn world class natural genius.

[@Mike-pv3vw]

I always watched you guys play on FT. I played small stakes tourneys and cash. Never really got back into it after the internet ban. I miss those days.

[@jasonsmith3209]

I'm 9 minutes in and have laughed out loud twice 😂

[@PhilGalfond]

😃

[@illpoet13]

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

[@robertwallace5498]

I didnt know he was so dominant online as well. I thought his advantage was in-person reads and calmness, but it seems like he is just god tier at every aspect of the game

[@untouchable360x]

“I am not talented or natural at this game. I just work very hard at this game.” Phil Ivey

[@markcummings3146]

This was honestly amazing to watch Phil. I watch a ton of (great) poker content and yet yours is absolutely my favourite for your grounded advice and experience.

[@daverowe1081]

always been a fan of your game but this was the nail in the coffin that got me subscribed to your channel, too. looking forward to more great content, in this format or others!

[@bob30064]

Great video and thoughtful insight. Love the production quality and effort that went into finding all the old clips. And I like the idea of you talking to someone off camera vs. directly at the camera. Awesome job!

[@tonychung857]

awesome mini doc! would love to see a doc based on a "behind the scenes" of his life, more in depth including an interview with the man himself. he is the MJ of poker!

[@dwarner9158]

Best Documentary style video I’ve seen on Phil Ivey. I enjoyed stories of him being told from your perspective. Excellent content!

[@PhilGalfond]

Wow, thank you!

[@jcg7672]

I loved this video. You’re obviously getting more comfortable around a camera and it was great to peer into poker history through your eyes.

[@mtwins99]

Lots of effort indeed. I have seen a few of your videos and this video earns the subscribe for sure

[@PhilGalfond]

Glad to hear that - and welcome!

[@Wizardt22]

You have a talent for this type of video format. Please make more of these. 🤍🤍

[@TecmoPoker]

Excellent job on this one. You and Ivey have always been my two favorites so this was particularly insightful. Appreciate your time and energy. Makes we wish UIGEA never happened, along with Black Friday, and I was still working for Deuces Cracked.

[@jinglyjones1677]

Really enjoyed this. V well presented & great insights into Ivey. Also very frank and honest about your own position/s at the time, top job Phil, thanks

[@jamesw1313]

Commented, liked, and subbed. Great video, very professionally made.

[@LetsbehappyO.o]

No other person could tell a story like this better.

[@PippaPeerless]

I think what Ivey does is like Bobby Fischer's reported strength of making unusual moves to force the opponent out of their comfort zone, and then beat them with greater talent and expertise. Also so interesting to know you admired Ivey's cool demeanor in poker before you started as I've always been impressed with Galfond's coolness at the table!

[@OwenPenner]

I can't get enough Phil Ivey stories, great video!

[@rjmacready9828]

Ivey is the GOAT and the reason why I play poker. I met him in 2020 and it was a dream come true, thank you for this video

[@winnerscirclehorseracingin2518]

Professional way of presentation. Enjoyed with info. Love from India, Thanks.

[@frankie5510]

[@ronzilla6242]

Hi Phil, I've always loved your videos. Not only do you make interesting videos but I also learn a lot from it. You explain concepts really well and I like the way that you give a realistic view of what the life of a poker player is. This format I really liked a lot, not only because you, Tom Dwan, Dneg and Phil Ivey are my favorite players, but because it gives us a glimpse of your relationship with each other.

[@johnmar6376]

My two heroes! Phil and Phil

Hey man, excellent content. Loved the phone sequence.

[@octavianpostolache196]

Amazing stories ! Thank you Phil

[@francescoiadicicco1266]

Ivey played GTO/exploitative way before it was a thing. Now that GTO/exploitative is a thing, he plays something that we will discover over the next 20 years.

[@AwarenessForex]

I'd like to see a part 2.

[@Coooooz]

Great work! Fantastic story!!

[@jonvia]

When I first started watching poker as a kid, I was always fascinated by Phil Ivey's play style. Cool, calm, and collected. Guys like Phil "The Brat" Hellmuth are entertaining but that childish behavior gets old after awhile. Ivey's playing style ages like fine wine.

[@RestorationsFOD]

Is this Galfond interviewing Galfond? Real question

[@OhCanadaMoose]

Awesome video Phil

[@Sedeete]

Amazing, loved this! More!

[@ashliski]

The Ivey v Jackson hand even though he kind of got owned you have to give credit to Jackson. 4betting the flop is an insane read. 99% of players would give up with Iveys hand.

[@ludovictranh9409]

nice tribute to our GOAT

Amazing video, well done. Hope Ivey likes it 😂
