Re: phil ivey just saying \"fug it\" to the wsop prelim events
Phil's not a bad businessman, it's more he doesn't want to be a business man. In danny negro's blog..he talks about running into phil ivey at the restaurant..and phil goes to him.."Danny you don't play poker no more...you're a businessman now." While for Phil, he just plays poker he doesn't care about the fame and endorsements really. He usually denies interviews and isn't all about marketing himself with his own chips and books etc. I do think he is the most marketable poker player because i really don't know anyone who doesn't think he's awesome. The overall consensus among a lot of poker fans is that this guy is the [censored]. He is pretty much the Tiger Woods of poker. When he plays poker he just seems cool playing it.

Re: phil ivey just saying \"fug it\" to the wsop prelim events
We have heard from Barry Greenstein that he feels he makes far more playing high stakes cash games than the Hellmuths of the world make from endorsements, so while there is the possibility that in the future endorsements may be worth more than cash game winnings, why take the chance when you can win a lot of money now?
