[Galwaybanana]

[larrygt1]

Fuck full tilt poker fuck phil ivey and every single crook thats involved with full tilt poker all them mutherfucker are nothing but a bunch of crooks greedy money hungry pieces of fucken shits im so glead the FBI finally decided to close them down they makes millions every fucken on a game that is rigged and is impossible to beat online fuck you phil ivey you crook and you greeedy piece of shit being charged full tilt for fraud money laudering and cheatging go to hell asshole

[reimuslocke]

@larrygt1 Phil Ivey had nothing to do with the FTP fiasco you dumbshit.

[HelloNoWorriesHere]

@larrygt1 lol you're retarded. They didn't cheat a game. Maybe you just suck at poker and could never win. They were only charged because they were using U.S. banks to process people's money and re-routing it to the online system. Money laundering and things like that. Just because you're a horrible poker player and probably lost all your money online in a game you can't play doesn't mean you should try to gain sympathy in a random YouTube video...

Ivey is such a boss

[jokeistman]

ivey unit!

[DerekBlankenship1]

How fucking great would it be to be the guy to knock him off at the WSOP dont get me wrong he is my fav and he is the BEST but thatd be fucking awesome

[AshmoreLikesMen]

cant imagine his BR is above 60million, i mean i know he won a shitload in Macau or w/e in china last week (i heard like 50-70 million HK$ (1-7 exchange rate)). his stake in FT is worth around 20 mil. but hes defiantly not over 100 million

[AtheistsAreGODS]

@AshmoreLikesMen Everything you just said is pure speculation and leaves out big FACTS such as online winnings, his pit game habits, his stakes in other companies, real estate, divorce, etc

You leave out details, but it's all pure speculation in the end anyway. I'd give him a comfortable 50 million in equity.

@huntton7209

Nice.. can we play soon my full tilt poker name is vilarin0037 :]

And yeah

Full Tilt last thursday disclosed on their facebook fanpage that a new player now can go to their web site, then make a account usin the code SPECIALS.

I think it is the preferred way for a newer player to start with a decent bank roll.. Make a deposit and they DOUBLE it also a few other awesome perks. Sucks but its limited to the first 2000 players that register usin this

[CaptCoochKicker]

good god can they find a quieter place to do interviews or what?

[MrSupernova111]

@CaptCoochKicker

No shit!!! What's up with all the fucking noise in the background!! And WTF is he holding is mic in his hand instead of on his shirt where its closer to his mouth and some of the noise can be blocked.

"i mean these guys that play.."

[Element1516]

@Yamakashi1 i mean theres guys that play like certain sports that hardly ever lose

[kochoblow99]

this guy looks like A-rod

[JiuJitsuislife]

very nice guy , deserves the sucess

[rico305305]

@JiuJitsuislife there are lots of nice guys who deserve success, quit sucking his dick!

[snotnosedlilkid]

knicker sniffer

[bonzie88]

God he must get sick of being asked the same questions over and over in every interview.

[pokerpooner]

One thing im glad Ivey doesnt do is those retarded seminars just to make a quick buck. Lots of those big name pros have suckers pay a arm n leg to those seminars

[Jigsaw988]

phil is the man!!!!

[Germanseeya]

@kosai Phil Ivey has at least 200 million...wouldn't suprise me if it's a couple of million more ;)

[joemols]

@Germanseeya

"would'nt surprise me if its a couple million more"???

idiot.

[MidnightDC696969]

scoddy wing baby!

[Oreillyisthebest]

"I don't care whats next I just want them to keep playing."

truer words were never spoken, lol

[larrygt1]

Phil Ivey is the best he is so fucken right what hes said its ture i dont think theres not to many other poker players out there who dedicate themselves to the game like he does thats why hes accomplished so much and hes extremely wealthy beacuse he plays everyday and loves his job its like micheal jordan he would have never been the best basketball player in history if he never put the time commitment effort blood sweat and tears into the game same as phil ivey thats he the greatest out there

[binksy69]

@larrygt1 congratulations on knowing what punctuation is... And paragraphs... But yeah!

[Jimmyc123c]

think hes worth 100 mil + the guy bets 1 mil at a time in black jack or sumthing, private casinos....

[B3LLEND]

Ivey tells it how it is. Stright up and down, no nonsense. Plays poker doesn't talk it, probably why he's one of the biggest winners in the game. No bullshit.

[TheReclamation14]

agreed, that's why hes the greatest

[wiseguy1989xx]

i was very upset when the Q was the door card and it beat his AK coz this guy is a legend to me

[kosai19]

His total tourney winnings is over 10 million with his 7th place WSOP 2009 finish and just in 2008 alone he won over 7 million from online play. The dude probably has around 30 to 35 million in his bankroll...

I think he deserves more respect from these commenters bashing him.

[ThAWaNKr]

@kosai19 very very accurate bankroll estimation

[kosai19]

@ThAWaNKr

Yeah, it's based off his own comments and some online sites that track his tournament standings. Currently he's still the #1 highest money winner for poker.

Like another commenter suggests, anyone at the top 10% of their field does so by constantly working to improve their craft. Poker isn't a 9 to 5 job for these guys but 24/7, which is exactly why they are the top 10%.

[chava85]

I think it was a hidden camera

[donkeykong3488]

The low crotch camera angle...

Not an ideal one for a interview

[pdunny20]

the appearance of cameras inhibits phils personality

[dlperrio]

Sound sucks, just about unwatchable. :(

[Tehui1974]

Ivey must have taken a lot of beatings to get as good as he is now.

[seannyl]

LOL, thanks Calvin. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the sound file ;)

[calvin1392]

nice sound quality holy shit

[carlosdavids777]

good player
