Quote: "A lot of people who play professionally don't enjoy what they're doing, and you can tell, and it makes a difference. I love poker. I love everything about it. It's the greatest game in the world. I'm always trying to improve and always thinking about getting better. Some people I play against are just playing because that's their job, and that's a big advantage I have over them."
Poker fans about Phil Ivey: "I just wonder, how many times has Phil Ivey been broken with Ace Queen in his pocket? Just learn to fold that hand Phil and you'd be one of the best poker players of all time. I've counted at least seven times when he has been busted with AQ against a player with a pair or Big Slick."
"Yo that cat Phil Ivey is a beast for sure. The guy must have ice water pumping through his veins. I know I have never seen someone so calm, cool, and collect before in my life. He's incredible." "It's very interesting to hear people say that Phil Ivey isn't any good. On the other hand I know some people who don't think Ali was a good boxer, Pelé a good soccer player, and Michael Jordan a good basketball player."
