Amazing bluff with 52o by Phil Ivey, HSP Season 6

[1skullduggery]

nobody's as good as epstein's mother, though...

[weatherallc05]

what a genius player, pure fucking boss bluff

[girlie347]

The bluff is now a lot less impressive, now that it has been revealed that the Full Tilt pro's were staked by the site. So for them it wasn't real money they were risking, so it's easy to bluff it all off if it's not your own money anyway.

@girlie347

good point.

[geeisthisnametaken]

@girlie347 Yeah ok, then explain why Lederer never made moves like this. Why was Ferguson such a nit? Both had plenty of FTP money. Ivey's been playing like this even before he ever signed with FTP.

[WonderLS]

@geeisthisnametaken Because they staked themselves in theory. They had alot of equity in the site.

[itssimpleiwinyoulose]

@girlie347 he still looks like an idiot if he gets called though

[laffizzle]

my favorite hand of high stakes poker

[DjourouLikesMango]

Lex not acting like a man with a big hand. If you have aces in that spot you would be far more interested in how deep Greensteins and Iveys stacks are. And Ivey knows that it's a good spot for a 4bet bluff since it's CO vs BTN.

[KaiMak714]

Lex mentions that "all these great spots keep coming up." Must have been a pattern of him trying to steal or squeeze during the session. Lex appears to look at his cards early in the deal and Phil glances over at Lex while Barry was making his raise. So while Phil was trying to catch Barry trying to steal from the cutoff, he was also trying to get a glimpse of Lex who may have been trying to steal in the straddle. Phil probably saw if Lex was interested in his hand early on.

[treyck]

nooo it acutally would be 5-5-2-K-5 :)

[Twistaq12]

ivey picked vel off (tell) when he asked him how much he got left

[plutobrain1]

this is great instict one of iveys coolest moments , lol they did look like suspects

[sternumagnum]

The commentary is excellent, and funny as well.

"Look aty 'em! They LOOK like suspects"

[Pratorius901]

what happens if ivey gets called down in that spot...

1. as it happened Ivey was only a 65/35 underdog

2. he can maintain his aggressive nature at the table and get action when he acutally has something.

3. stir his opponents into making plays out of frusturation on later rounds..

THIS IS THE GENIOUS OF PHILS PLAY

[lookaguru]

If durrr made that move he would get called and the flop would come 2-2-5

[MCFoultier]

@lookaguru

haha. and run it once! that would get everybody steaming :)

[Hax1axe]

@lookaguru lmao so true

[TypeAKiller]

Phil Ivey doesn't need a hand or a flop to make over 50k lol he is the fucking man

[thefrigidness]

a poker pro never goes all in with rag cards just because he's steaming. ivey knew he could get lex to fold

[DrGoGo7]

@thefrigidness how did he knew that lex doesn't have pocket rockets or some other monster hand? He just got lucky that nobody had a good hand and thats it. I bet that there was a time that he had a bluff like this but someone paid him and he lost, but nobody speaks about that becouse it's nothing special.

[imtryingtowatchvids]

@DrGoGo7 sure, he had a read on lex, and knew he had no big hand

[StormSong8]

@DrGoGo7 If Lex had rockets Phil would have known. He's been watching people play poker his whole life; he knows the difference between KJ and AA.

[pobox113]

its funny from the top view, you see the chips, ivey has a brazilian chips and robl has none..

[BigSAK88]

Phil ivey is the reason Owned is now spell Pwned... his tears can cure cancer, but he has never cried... not even when he was born... there are myths that he once fucked up chuck norris

[pobox113]

@BigSAK88 ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

[BigSAK88]

@pobox113 hey asshole i would reply with a rebuttal but the typing animation is fucking awesome lol... asshole

[pobox113]

@BigSAK88 glad you fucking enjoyed that, i thought your comment was funny, i just go around posting that animation on random comments to be an asshole, glad you caught that, bro.. :)

[stacrafty]

@BigSAK88

fuck off iveys playing with full tilts money = players money, easy to bluff when its not your money

[FCule]

Veldhuis. Is he the donk who went ALL IN every fucking time in WSOP 2009???

I think so..

[fliptthescript]

Ivey was steaming. That was a steam all in. The guy re raised both of them. But since hes loose ivey shoved. If lex had aces he would of looked like biggest dummy in poker.

[PatchingTrowel89]

@fliptthescript

Ivey isn't steamed!! Not sure, but think he was beating the game at this point so he had no great reason to be. Plus if Lex had aces, 95% he mucks-that's what makes him the best imho.

[damskoNL]

'They even look like suspects' :D

[thefrigidness]

ivey was able to 5 bet and make it look like aces because of barry's raise. fucking brilliant by ivey to see that.

[zap8oneway]

it's never a good spot when ur against a super power - Gabe's just awesome with this kind of comments, and he's sooooo right

[EdgarMartinez]

what about Ivey?

[coryboy]

Please remember the amount of money these guys have...it is about bankroll. If Phil Ivey was staked here and did not have the bankroll he has... would he pull the same moves? I think not ! Not taking away from the Bluff or Phil... they are both sick but keep in mind the bankroll people.

[Mikey1724]

i wish i was phil ivey! that was sick!!!

[gamblinglaker]

I saw this last week, I still can't believe it.

[teemucroshere44]

that's why he is Phil Ivey.
