GREAT POINT JOEY JOE JOE!

If Phil Ivy were in a low percentile of luck no one would be talking about the him being the greatest player in the world. Even though his skill would be exactly the same.

Now his luck may even out in the long run. But right now he couldn't be where he is. AGAIN, GREAT POINT!!

yes they would lol, phil ivey was known before he had that awesome year of tourney finishes. phil ivey is KNOWN to DISLIKE tourneys because they are just a variance fest, he prefers cash games and has been playing the biggest cash games for a long long time. well before ESPN came along. Maybe one day when you finally figure poker out and become a winning player you will all look back on this thread and realize what idiots you were.

im done posting on this, i hope it clicks for you sometime before you are BUSTO.

We think that luck plays a role in who is considered to be the best of the best, and that makes us idiots?

You believe that if Phil Ivey had gotten very very unlucky over the course of his career that he'd still be considered one of the greats?

That's good stuff. It would be laughable if it wasn't stuch a standard way of thinking.
