Title
Phil Ivey - Official Website of Poker Professional Phil Ivey
Description
Born in Riverside, CA, Phil Ivey moved to Roselle, New Jersey when he was just three months old. Phil was introduced to poker by his grandfather, who'd deal out hands of penny-ante Five-Card Stud to his eight-year-old grandson. His grandfather would cheat, grabbing cards from the bottom of the deck in an attempt to teach the young Phil a lesson about the dangers of gambling.
Instead, the introduction to poker ignited a passion within Phil. From the time he was a teenager, he told teachers and family that he was going to be a professional gambler. When he was 16, he sat in on an adult's poker game that was hosted by a friend's father. He soundly beat the game and started looking for opportunities to play more frequently.
At 18, he scored a fake ID and started frequenting the poker rooms in Atlantic City casinos. He lost more than he won in the first few years. But he was learning from his mistakes, developing a mastery of all poker games: Limit, No-Limit, Stud, Omaha, and tournaments. When he turned 20, he made Atlantic City his full-time residence.
