Of coarse someone who is a carpel tunnel poster knows this stuff, but I figure a few peeps might not have heard of M and Q. Besides, it's only polite to try and sell some 2+2 books.

He probably made the correct play every time actually come to think of it...

WOW.

Sad or pathetic is a better way to describe it.

I've heard just about every single number between 1-6000 predicted for Ivey to finish. That means no matter what, I will have to at least hear one ******* parading around as if they had this divine knowledge of Ivey's placement.

For the record, 15th!

Are you seriously posting in an internet forum criticising the way Phil Ivey plays poker. I guess its justified given your bracelet count and your huge cash game winnings. In fact your right you know more about poker than Phil Ivey. NOW GTFO.

GONNA

HAPPEN

[Takeover]

what a terrible redraw for ivey imo.

[nintendere]

• If my money runs regular Ivey pwns him
• If he runs like recently Ivey is broke soon
