I agree with you in some aspects that Phil Ivey is an outstanding player and is very dominant at the table. However, I have come to realize he along with Doyle Brunson get very bored in tournaments. Resulting in bad plays causing their elimination.
I know this to be true when I watched Doyle make big bets blind in some tournaments and Ivey admitted he gets bored in tournaments in a 2005 circuit event. The show was aired and he had a message therapist on his back the whole time, made it to the final table; got bored and made a bad play causing him to lose. |
