Re: Phil Ivey Gossip
[ QUOTE ]
Dissolve to the Bellagio poker room. You are playing heads-up NLHE against Phil Ivey with $450K in front of you. After the river card falls, you've made the second-nut flush. Ivey, first to act, pushes his entire stack into the pot; he's got you covered. You look at Phil and ask, "You don't have the nut flush, do you?" He smiles at you and says, "Nope." You decide to call. Ivey tables the nut flush.
Gasp! Phil Ivey's blatant lie just cost you $450K!

A better analogy is some guy walks into Bellagio and asks you to play headsup, but he needs some help as he's a beginner. You agree that he will be dealt three hole cards every hand to your two. Halfway through the match, which you are losing massively, his fake nose and glasses fall off and you realize you are playing Phil Ivey, not some random idiot who just walked in off the street.
I would consider you to have been cheated.
