Re: Ivey is NOT Tiger Woods of Poker
The real problem here is you guys are looking at tournament results which are a poor measure of how well a person plays poker. Tournament poker is a bastardized version of the game.
Ivey (or anyone else) is one of the game's greatest players because of his performance in cash games where I believe Ivey regularly plays games with big bets in the thousands. Ivey also is known for playing for than just hold 'em. I believe he is also a world class stud player as well.
However, neither the poker media nor the regular media has any idea how to adequately cover cash games the way they skillfully cover tournament poker.
