phil ivey is the master 1 mill aint nothing 2 him chump change lol
Dude, that aint shit to him, he will win that back at the craps table in 1 hour.
yeah he's been playing in the nose bleed section of poker forever. I am sure with all his prop betting and gambling on things he has large down swings and upswings. The life of a poker player.
His around -2mil nowdays
He may be one of the best players in the world but anyone who looses that much money is still hurt by it.
I dont think its a big thing for Ivey he's got over 8mil tournament winnings and lots more on cash tables in LA.
He lost over the milion, thats are isildurs everyday swings
I don't think they reported how long the sessions were, if he is playing 3 six hour sessions a day, that is 18 out of 24 hours of that day. Even if he was playing 3 four hour sessions a day, that is 12 hours of his day, so seems on point to me.Quote:

I could only imagine what my win/loss statement compared to Phil's, I am sure he didn't need to pawn anything after the game.Quote:

Phil Ivey won one event, dumped $96k on the floor, and went right to next event
Phil Ivey can take a big hit like that no problem. He'll end up winning it all back pretty soon anyway.
Phil Ivey is best player, but not at this moment , I think he will get back and win more than million :)
That sucks phil ivey is so awesome too!
a million is a small hiccup for these guys, pretty sick when you think of it
that's poker
make make make
then och! didn't work this time or many time :P
he treats losses like this as if they were pennies....such a g, gotta respect it...just watched his e:60 interview again the other day, the man breathes gambling it's sick
that's sick to lose that much money. if you lose that much, you should give up gambling. that sounds like pretty soon he will be making some bets he won't cover and only bad will come out of it.
i bet he is in emotional traume.... just sayin :P.......
With the high stakes they play, this is probably not the average downswing for a player. This is a considerable amount of money in the number of sessions and hours he put in. Read deeper into it on the links I posted and you will see what I am saying.Quote:

i just dream of having 1.1 million. i think i have to work my ass off to be able to come close to that amount in my bank account.
No one is immune from an inevitable bad streak.
argh that's sick... i heard roomers that Phil Hellmuth and Tony G. going to play for 1mil pot heads up but just dont know when
I could imagine that feeling......I feel the lump in the throat if I lose 20 bucks
Yes he is still the most feared and respected poker player out there, and its not even really a debate. You dont want 2 see him at your table
my mother I would die if I lose $ 10 $ now imagine if I lose 1 million wow but if I wanted to see the real news sources pzz
Its all about bankroll management I guess. They are just at high stakes and apply the same Bank Roll Management rules to their roll as we do grinding micro-stakes. Definitely not going bankrupt over the loss, that is for sure. ha haQuote:

I wonder how much he is worth. If I has to guess I would say 20 million. But, I have no idea. 20 million, over or under?
That is the cost for PRO poker player to play some of those nosebleeds tables like Mr. Isildur always love to play ... up/down millions doesn't matter
i wont c 1.1 in my lifetime lol
Only a million thats nothing to ivey he will lose that in a hand
that s pretty sick this is old new s tho i bet he has rebounded ok
he is sure to win back! he is a good player!
yah can u imagine losing or winning half mill daily how would u control your emotions shit would be crazy
