Poker Guide

At 33 years Phil Ivey is the youngest player in history to reach the figure of eight WSOP bracelets . At present, only get over Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Johnny Moss but as they are giving things, Ivey could be the player with more bracelets within a few years.

After his victory in the HORSE event, Ivey said he is likely to win no less than thirty WSOP bracelets in his career .

Phil Ivey … to infinity and beyond

“I can do if I keep playing well, staying healthy, especially if people keep betting against me,” said Phil. When asked how much money was made in parallel for this win bets , joked: “More than twenty dollars.”

Of course, should have been considerably more because when the tournament ended, Ivey was unaware of the prize for first place and when the organization informed him how much he earned, Ivey was concerned simply pick up your bracelet. Phil Ivey is the living legend of poker and proof that this is a game in which skill predominates over chance.

As we discussed yesterday, Phil began heads-up with a lead of almost 3-1 in chips against Bill Chen, another character whose specialty is mathematics applied to poker, and demonstrated that, when he’s in the game, no card is secure.

In the last two years Ivey has won three bracelets. If continued at this rate would reach its target between 48 and 50 , an age in which nothing would prevent him to continue playing. As is pointed Nollen Dala Is not the optimistic estimate of Ivey, the respect of their bracelets, or even too low ?

The best player in the world has done it again. Playing tournaments pace wearing these WSOP 2010 a matter of time to fall a bracelet and this just happened few minutes ago.

Phil Ivey just proclaimed winner of event # 36, 3000 HORSE getting a prize of $ 329,840 that become a story within the meaning of money that’s probably playing in gambling achieving bracelets.

When formed the eight-player final table, John Juanda was still the chip leader and Ivey had climbed to third place. Between them, Bill Chen, a finalist along eventually crack.

Ivey was responsible for eliminating three players from the final table heads-up before . The last, John Juanda who fell into third place in a hand of Stud.

The final heads-up began with Bill Chen, winner of two bracelets, tripling chips to Phil Ivey.

But the genius of New Jersey was not going to easily pass the opportunity to win more and a bracelet began to scratch the ground in each game mode, either-8 Stud, Hold’em or Omaha-8, which went by first ahead in the game at 28.

When he reached the lead, the bulldozer started to run leaving Chen distance but managed to recover, equalizing the stacks, and even put back in his head.

But Ivey returned to regain control more aggressively adding to its ground game while Chen was down again.

The denouement came in a hand of Razz, the mode with less action in the heads-up so far. Razz is the form of 7 Card Stud where the worst hand wins.

Bill Chen made the bring-in posting a 2 and Ivey been completed with an ace. Chen came up and Ivey re-raised. At that time, as we read in PokerNews, Chen asked the tournament director how many increases were permitted (in HORSE are played all forms Limit format.) “In the heads-up, as many as you want” was the reply. Chen then made a rise rather than Ivey called.

In the fourth street, both got low cards. The Ivey was better and bet. Chen paid. The same happened in the fifth but here Chen raised the stakes. Chen Ivey reraised and got all-in. The showdown came the bad news for Chen.

Chen: A-5-2-7-6
Ivey: 3-5, A-6-2

Chen needed a 3 to split the pot. In sixth, they both stopped July 1 did not say anything. On the river, Chen won 10 Ivey unusable while still improved his hand with 4 achieving a “wheel” A-2-3-4-5.

Took his eighth Ivey bracelet and who knows how gambling money .

‘Vinivici9586′ is one of the great phenomena of online poker , the player who is able to challenge the variance after playing about 3.5 million hands on PokerStars and consistently beating all the levels through which it passes.

One need only look at his incredible graphics PokerTableRatings to understand how your game is able to cause a thread in the forum Poker-Red at this point is already 38 pages.

A few weeks ago, ‘vinivici9586′ began writing his personal blog and thanks to him we now know well that in addition to the tables given, the boy is very funny . As proof, his last post.

To analyze the play of your opponents, HUD data are fine, but as ‘vinivici9586′, something that can give us a reliable clue about our opponents: your avatar .

Thus, the crack online trends ranked players as the avatar shown on the table and has no waste. Here I reproduce the post, translated into Spanish to enjoy it.

Avatars strategy guide for ‘vinivici9586′

When an unknown opponent sits on my desk, I try to have a read of it as quickly as possible. Still, these readings must necessarily come from the hands you play, you can get it from things as simple as your avatar and place of origin.

The Giant Fish

1. Avatar with baby (50 / 5)

Very occasionally you will see a good rival aggressive with a child avatar, but most of the time your opponent with avatar typical baby will be a loose-passive calling station. This type likes to see flops, turns and rivers and even when they show great strength, this player of noble heart will be happy paying you because, after all, everyone is someone’s baby.

2. Avatar with dog (70/35)

City with dog avatars. They are extremely loose and aggressive. If you show weakness, I bet the pot on the three streets with gutshots. Your Aggression factor

is determined by the breed of dog (the Doberman are the most aggressive). Sometimes, if the dog is cute, the opponent will play more like the avatar with baby (think pictures of animals in the foreground with wide-angle lenses … and a hat).

3. Avatar with an ugly person (erratic)

The game of this type of opposition is directly related to the type of illegal substance they are using. They like to play poker when they are placed is the only time someone can find interesting the concept of “ugly person.” They may be faint and throw all hands. They could make open shove

. Your best option is to use the “block avatar with the right button on Stars, and try to imagine if your opponent is listening to techno or laughing uncontrollably as Bob Marley Hear God.

The Live Pro

1. Avatar with your own photo (30 /

This guy thinks it’s really good at poker. He also thinks that is really very attractive. Fortunately, neither is true. Play very passively until you get the nuts (which will play by check / minraise

). Be sure to shoot dangerous cards on the table and steal their blinds at will.

2. Avatar with two aces (15 / 5)

This version is tighter and less attractive of the previous opponent. It’s not particularly handsome, not particularly good at poker, but he knows and is willing to play their best assets: only play big pairs. This guy just plays a table and wait three hours for his two aces. So clear and then proceed to reup. You can safely throw your Qjs when your opponent this move and save yourself a lot of money.

The Shark

1. No avatar (21/16)

This type has no avatar because it loose and Aggressive

. Come up with your attempts to position theft relentlessly. Upload your bets below. It has chat disabled by an incident years ago related to someone’s little sister, but his style well developed. He is very active and does not want you to know who he is.

2. Avatar with an aunt good (16/12)

This guy is playing 24 tables and grind with a winrate of 1pt/bb. At least, that is the pleasure of seeing her favorite aunt, good at every table.

3. Avatar of The Wire (18/15)

Here comes Omar! Such nit plays better than 24 tables, but worse than no avatar. Your winrate would rise much more if you do not happen all the time in 2 2 posts correcting people, writing “1″ to everything he says ATC and saying “TRUEEEEE.

* The avatars are based built from the images ‘vinivici9586′ in your post .

Summer in Las Vegas is the busiest time for many poker professionals. With the obsession to win a bracelet and 57 events spread over five weeks, most players choose to take your body to the limits and participate in events as much as possible, in many times for more than fifteen hours straight if they choose to play more than a tournament on the same day .

Some, like Phil Ivey appear to be affected at all by the marathon session . The weekend gave Ivey Chair in coping with multiple tournaments and live for several hours on Saturday, was playing three simultaneous events: $ 2,500 PL Holdem / PL Omaha, $ 5,000 NL Holdem 6-Max and $ 10,000 Heads -Up Championship , achieving in all a good amount of chips (in the first two were eliminated on the second day).

Phil is quite clear: sleep is weak

Of course, not everyone can keep up with Ivey and are some players have complained about the overlap of events in the WSOP and the long sessions every day .

David ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot Poker Listings told: “I do not agree with the timetable. I finished in 19th place in the tournament for $ 5,000 U.S. dollars fatal beating a hand because he was very tired. The organization hopes to play for more than twelve hours, so most tournaments are won by young boys.

Another view was that of Neil Channing, who said that would be sufficient to reduce or even eliminate, the small events of the WSOP for more time between tournament and tournament . “I should have fewer events and all with a buy-in

at least $ 2,500 dollars,” he said Channing.

For its part, the Director of Communications of the WSOP, Seth Palansky

, responded to complaints from players saying that the timing of the WSOP was a great effort behind by the organizers: “It’s a combination of art and science. The reality is that a timetable is very well built and we did not know one key factor: how many players participate in each event. “

Liv Boeree

is the one who seems to have things more clearly: “You can not play all the events. If you do, you end up not being at your best level.” Unless you are, Phil Ivey, of course .
