View Full Version : Phil Ivey's income
In a thread there was some discussion on who brought in the most money. I'm not exactly sure which thread it was since I go to so many. But I responded something to the effect of "I swear I read somewhere that Barry G said Phil Ivey has made more than anyone as of late". Barry has reminded me that I should research my facts before putting them out there for everyone to read.
So I'm still confident that I read that from someone I remember being very reliable. But it's obvious it wasn't Barry G.
So sorry

90% of the posts in this forum are totally worthless. I've never seen so many absolutely mindless posts of speculation. Most of it isn't even hearsay, it's just people guessing.

The only reason I started this thread was to basically apologize to Barry. I guess I am curious who brings home the most. But I'm old enough to know that a high % of people state rumors as fact on the net.

Not sure how rich Phil Ivey really is...A Couple of weeks ago, I was playing with this Bellagio Dealer at The Sante Fe Station, and said Ivey borrowed a million dollars for one of the "Big games" he was dealing....take it for what it's worth..
Also mention what you see protrayed about Annie Duke is totally wrong. If you're not a part of her clique, she won't even acknowledge you...

Well Barry was kind enough to tell me where he thought I got it from.
TY sir
From FullContactPoker:
Tournament Accomplishments:
Tied WSOP Record winning three gold bracelets in one year
Four Gold Bracelets Total inFour Different Events:
2000 $2500 WSOP Pot Limit Omaha Champion
2002 $1500 WSOP 7 Card Stud Champion
2002 $2500 WSOP Stud H/L Champion
2002 $2000 WSOP S.H.O.E. Champion
Won $500,000 at First Ever Live televised event in the USA
Four WPT Final Tables
15 Cashes at the WSOP
Total Tournament Earnings: $2,155,073
Cash Game Accomplishments:
There isn't a high limit player in the world that works harder or works more than Phil Ivey. Phil's biggest strengths are his ability to "outlast" his opponents while playing marathon sessions. Phil will rarely quit if there is someone willing to continue. He excels playing long hours and is an excellent short handed player.
He plays in the biggest cash games in the world on a regular basis where million dollar swings are the norm. Phil has arguably won more money playing poker in the last five years than anyone on the planet. Both his tournament and cash game skills are well respected amongst his peers.
Best Game: 7 Card Stud. Phil cut his teeth on the game playing $1-$5 stud at the Taj. Within about six months he was already playing in the $75-$150 games.
Worst Game: Omaha H/L. It's hard to call it his worst game because he's come along way in the game. It's probably his worst game by default really.
Strengths: Endurance, creativity, focus, shorthanded skills, dedication. You could go on and on about Phil's strengths really. He is a student of the game and the fact that he respects all of his opponents skills is what keeps him sharp. He takes no one lightly.
Weaknesses: No real poker weaknesses to speak of. What remains to be seen though is whether or not he can keep up this torrid and exhausting pace for years to come. If he's not careful he could run himself ragged and burn out too early. Doesn't take enough time to enjoy his successes (IMO).
Cash Games: 10
Tournaments: 8.5
Emotional Stability: 9
Heart: 10
Short Handed: 10
Ring Game: 7.5
No Limit Hold'em: 8.5
Other Notes: Phil doesn't spend much time worrying about what others think of him. His priorities are winning money at poker. Since he plays in the biggest cash games in the world that means a smaller tournament schedule. He isn't in this game for the fame or noteriety, he is in it for the money all the way.
He doesn't do any self promotion whatsoever, but the public is fascinated by his skills and his presence at the table which makes him one of the most popular players in the game today. He's not one to talk about how great he is... he proves it.

Those players borrow money from each other all the time, it doesn't mean much.

Yes, I did. I wasn't trying to hide it.
BTW, If Phil borrowed money from someone at the table (to me) it doesn't mean anything to me about his finances. He might have come there w/o a large sum of cash and borrowed some money until he gained access to his.

No you misinterpreted wht Barry G. said is what you did. He said he(Barry G. himself has made more money in the big game than anyone else in recent years) he said ivey is a very good player and thinks he he will suceed in both live play and tournaments for a long time to come but never said he made the most money.

No, I didn't mistake what BarryG said. I knew I read that P Ivey made more than anyone in cash games in the past few years. I just got it wrong where I read it. I read it at Negreanu's site. www.fullcontactpoker.com (http://www.fullcontactpoker.com)
That doesn't mean it's true, just where I read it.
