Phil Ivey too busto for Whitelime??

[Exitonly]

there was nothing unethical about asking him to reload or sitting out, but you dont see how it's a bit rude to ask him to keep playing you under your circumstances then when he's short after you take most of his stack you refuse to play at all under his?

It kinda burns bridges, you think next time he'll move to a new table for you?

I think many people will interpret this the wrong way because maybe they think Dean is staying with you/sweating you and made this post as a "haha we rule ivey drools" sort of way.

Who is Hort? He must be real good since Whitelime won't play him.

I think it is totally reasonable to refuse to play Phil if he buys in short. Phil won $500k from Zigmund earlier this week so it's not like he's short of a full buy-in. Why should Whitelime risk 80k to win 16k against one of the most skilled players in the world? You have to give action to get action, and by buying in short Phil is being cheap / not giving action, so no wonder Whitelime asked him to buy in full.

His not risking 80 to win 16, DUCY?

[luckyjimm]

Eh no, I don't. He has actually 82k, Ivey buys in for 16k, doubles up a couple of times, and suddenly is sitting on 98k and Whitelime is busto. All for the sake of 16k. At least if Ivey buys in full, Whitelime can get properly paid off on his big hands. And Ivey *isn't* the sort of player to drop 16k buy-in after 16k buy-in, so don't tell me it would work out the same whether he bought in short or in full because it wouldn't.

Yeah, and he also doesn't get taken as hard on losing hands. Stick to the rail man.

[luckyjimm]

Yeah and u stick to the noze candy
