After watching a few of these ivey advice vids. I have somewhat of a clear understanding about how this guy is a world class player. Thank you for sharing your shark knowledge with a fish like me.

wow this is amazing.Hear what is happening when PHIL THINKS.

This was awesome. Thank you.

I would not have called that river bet. I like what Phil says here about playing too robotic. I can recall quite a few live sessions where even if I had the odds and math to call I would not put another penny into the pot because I knew I was beat. Good vid.

really great info here

Phil Ivey for president

"....sure....."...biggest yawn ever 0:26

Nice work :)

27 seconds in Ivey is already bored lol... He's like yea duh I am 2 million thoughts ahead

love poker and this videos.

Ivey is the original “fuck GTO”

Sometimes I don't play enough math 😂

"sometimes I don't play enough math" says the greatest poker player. Not playing enough math is the right way to do it then.

Ivey was so right on every stage of the hand

why does phil ivey have to do this?

why the fuck when you Google "Phil ivy net worth" it shows it then it compares his to Dan blizerians net worth?

Interesting how Phil mentions "how this session is going today" any given day. I know poker is one long game but people's moods can change, sometimes they might be in a more gambl-ey mood, other days more conservative. I used to play with a guy(live) that some days he was an all-out maniac, other days like a totally different player. On the J10 hand, I wanted to call so bad when he bet at first but then I though, "hhhmmmm that's a lot" I thought he had a Q or better or a busted draw

Phil Ivey plays street smart poker

You can tell Ivey gets so bored with talking about theory. He's all about what is the player like. Which in cash games, smokes the shit out of GTO at almost any stakes. In my opinion, it also makes the game a lot more fun. Who wants to sit at a table and flip a coin on whether they call or not? What's the player's body language say? What do the past hands you've seen them play tell you they're likely to have in a situation like this? What does the story he is also telling you with his hand say he might have? No disrespect to Apotheosis cuz he'd still mop my ass in any game under the Sun. When he says, "I think I have to call here..." Phil again sticks to his guns. It's not black and white, it's not just math. This whole game is player dependent. Thanks for the great content, amazing to see how simple he makes the game. Fuck the odds and the stats. They're important to understand, but in cash games it all goes out the window depending on the player, position, and action. If you're playing the most scared player in the world, you should be raising every single hand and C-betting every board, and when you get called proceed with caution - regardless of what some solver tells you to do on each street. I think a lot of the new wave of players who crush online tournaments have advanced the game a lot with theory, but that it is mostly for people who are playing millions of hands in tournaments, over a massive sample size of occurrences. For people playing cash, it's totally different. A lot of tournament players I know get mopped in cash... because they're all about push/shove tactics preflop, and tend to play their perceived ranges more than their actual cards, the board, and the other players in the hand - because in tournaments chips don't have the same value over time. Great analysis, way to keep the game simple Phil. No need to do calculus in your mind to figure out you should bet with an open ender and middle pair on the button when checked to on the flop against a tight player and maybe check back against an aggressive one.

Love playing poker against other human beings ... nothing 'learned' online translates ... the people losing online are the same people losing live ... and only a small percentage on online winners can take it to the table.

one of the greatest players of all time..unfortunately cant coach for shit (probably doesnt want to anyway) lol

is that the pokerstars client? looks more like Bovada to me

He must be nervous to be filmed while talking hands with ivey

Online poker is good but live poker is the best 👍🏿💵💯

this site and ivey in general have to be the worst poker instructors ever.

Phil plays math, it's just exploitive math vs. GTO.

Guy bum pretending to know after you give 1/2 stack on a draw.

This video is a great showcase of what goes through phils mind, fairly basic thinking. You have so many players overlapping him today because of advanced theories. Ivey would get absolutely destroyed in high stakes online, and I think the only place Ivey should play is live.

Booooooring!
