Default Re: Phil Ivey vs. Jman 300/600

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sure Jman thinks he's +EV against Ivey because of the stakes, 300/600 doesn't bother Ivey that much and it often reflects in his play. If they played in another setting and higher stakes I think Jman would be more humble about his EV. Nevertheless I'm not saying he would be -EV.

It has nothing to do with the stakes. Ivey has a game tailored to beat up on weaker players, but it creates some leaks against stronger ones. I'm an online HU 100-200bb specialist pretty much.

He's obviously a very smart guy and great player.

I certainly didn't mean to brag or put Ivey's game down. It should be obvious that I think I'm +EV though when I play someone. I don't play when I don't think I have an edge. (As many people love to point out how I never play anyone good HU)

g2g play ultimate frisbee!! I'll answer any questions later tonight, and maybe post some interesting hands.
