Phil Ivey

Number six, avoid fancy bluffs.

So guys, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're probably not Phil Ivey if you're watching this video right now.

Let me give you an example.

You got the 5-6 of hearts and let's skip ahead all the way to the river.

We came to the Taj Mahal, which was, you know, at that point was in its heyday.

Uh, you know, Phil Ivey was in the, was in the pit, uh, playing Omaha.

Cause I remember coming in, I asked my boy, I was like, ask Nate.

I was like, who's that? Who's the, who's the rapper? Uh, yeah.

It's very, very, very slow.

Yeah, I mean, there's certain situations.

Like if Phil Ivey's playing, you know, I would watch Phil.

Yeah.

It's no big deal.

I remember one time Phil Ivey signed up for a $10,000 poker tournament, and he was a no-show.

And they said, what are you doing? And he said, I was playing this like open-faced Chinese game that was like worth $10,000 an hour.

I couldn't afford to leave that game to go to play in the other poker tournament.

It was funny

... games where he had to br- bring a gun to the table, and then, like, Phil Ivey is super cool, and, like, just those characters I felt like made it ...

There's something like, like a ro- romanticism about it, honestly.

Like, being like, oh, like getting a peek into that world.

But, uh, w- can you walk us through for those uninitiated of like what, what edge sorting is?

Yeah.

So I, I mean, it's in, I don't know if pop culture is the right way to say it, but Phil Ivey was doing a, a version of edge sorting like at the Borgata and at, was it Crockford's in London, in baccarat where they won like, you know, te- tens of millions between the two.

Um, eight figures between the two.

I'd never played with him.

Um, so I was just kind of vaguely aware of him as this, uh, yeah, maybe kind of Phil Ivey or Erik Seidel, I think he is friends with Erik Seidel,-esque, just sort of quiet crusher out there.

Um, and just recently, and we'll talk about this in the interview, he has been taking on a little bit more of a public persona, and, uh, I was really honored that we got to be one of the platforms for him to, um, put himself out there.

Yeah.

So

we need like Phil Ivey or Doyle Brunson or Phil Hellmuth or someone to help the Packers with their poker faces.

Like this is, it is ridiculous.

Adam Stenovich was asked to, if he knows what they have at offensive line.

Papers isn't moving, man.

It's like watching Phil Ivey when he's on a flush draw.

You guys like Cooper's jerky?

Yeah.

Stu Unger, you did mention Guillen, but you did mention Marzocca.

Who else did you mention? You mentioned Negrano, Phil Ivey, Helmuth.

Are they actually playing anymore? They have their own shit and they're doing backroom.

Are they still out there trying to bring it back to golf? Are they still old school? I don't know.

I had some big hits.

If any poker fans out there want to go deep dive on YouTube, see me smashing up Phil Ivey and whoever else.

Humble brag.

Humble brag.
