I think the Phil Ivey type of strategy is very dangerous in online poker tournaments. If you raise a ton of hands people will call you down with suspect holdings that could indeed have you beat.

Ivey does this in tournaments with tremendous structure coupled with the amazing reputation he has.

People tense up and do NOT want to tangle with Phil Ivey, because his first name is Phil and his last name is Ivey.

I agree it's a good strategy to use but Ivey's game is helped by his great track record, which helps him run people over.

It's weird to me because people try to take out Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, and Greg Raymer based on who they are but from what I have read people run when Ivey comes in for a raise.
