No money in craps, all tables are solid.

I'm not judging him, because he can do whatever he wants with his hard earned money. But why would someone with so much skill play a luck based game?

Also. It makes him playing poker for 100k almost silly. What difference does it make if he gets felted for 100k if he has no problem dropping half a million on craps?

I was walking around Borgata on Saturday night. I was thinking to myself, "man, how cool would it be if I saw Ivey walking around this place." Sucks that was an actual possibility and it didn't happen. Sure enough my standard bad luck kicks in and I run into Robert Varkonyi instead. No Ivey, nice guy, though.

Floor person should not be airing out the high-limit wins/losses with randoms.

This. Why is this even debated? Only an irrational person would play craps and expect to come out ahead.

Ivey's going to go broke if he keeps throwing 7 figures at craps all the time. It's only a matter of time. Unless he stops altogether.

At the end of the video, he says that what he does isn't gambling, it's poker, its like a job. That's definitely true. But I was thinking about the craps, which most certainly is gambling--the worst kind where you are guaranteed -EV at all times--and what denial he is in.

Phil Ivey is a toolbag. Donating all the poker moneys to the big casinos

this is why dwan and antonius are better gamblers overall. They don't play -EV games.

No it's not.
