Phil makes a pretty nice call here. He made a continuation bet against John D’Agostino on the flop, turned a pair of nines with an ace kicker, didn’t improve on the river (when a possible straight draw got there), and still called John’s $11,000 bet, which he obviously read as a steal attempt.
Full Tilt pro Phil Ivey showing his skills once again!
In this interview by Poker Superstars, Phil Ivey looks completely himself — and relaxed. He’s making sense — and I suggest you LISTEN to the man in this one.
A little quote I feel is typical to Phil:
“A lot of players I play with, when they’re losing they play really really terrible. When the guy is winning, I might quit like a few hours. Another night, when the guy is losing, I might play for two days. You know, it all depends.”
You’re right, Phil.
