View: Ivey is making training videos

I have a hunch Ivey is making some training videos, well actually this was a discussion last year, but there are more incentives towards it recently.

1) Remember his website just before Black Friday happened. Everyone pretty much thought some strategywise was the case, but then it was forgotten because to his one year disappearance


2) All this recent twitter and facebook activity. It's very likely it wasn't Ivey himself, but whoever is behind it surely wants Ivey to be a bigger part of the scene again.

3) This image from his Facebook Q&A made me think of the possibility again:

It's clearly a screenshot from a video and he's obviously explaining something, judging from his gestures. Plus he's in front of a green screen as Webjoker pointed out to me. The only use of that in poker would be in training videos, with the explained action going on in the back. He's not presenting a weather forecast, unless he's saying how he's gonna make it rain

Re: View: Ivey is making training videos

nothing in your OP was a stretch whatsoever, especially the green screen explanation! he is obv explaining triple range merging, and you NEED a green screen for that due to its complexity! Keep reaching for the stars OP!

oh, and can you please edit your post to include the line:
I have independently confirmed this by thinking about it.

just to clear up any confusion!

I came here but increase post count before lock but thread actually legit gossip imo. If I could use photoshop then I would put a large phallus in Phil's right hand.

So "view" and "I have a hunch" count towards "facts/confirmation" now?

Hold on, I'll e-mail Pearson to alter some definitions in the Longman dictionary

Perhaps he independently confirmed it by thinking about it?

Let's face it, it is a forum - how much actual facts are we expecting out of these posts - and to put a twist on the whole independently confirming stuff by thinking about things.... from the perspective of a dream having the potential to be as real as "the real world"... there are no boundaries people - you can make things happen with your mind! With that being said I'm gonna go take a nap...I might be suffering from exhaustion.

Re: View: Ivey is making training videos

His training videos are going to be "sometimes you want to only call with AK because you can disguise the strength of your hand."

The fish aren't really going to get anything out of them that they can't get from a PH video that's out there already

Re: View: Ivey is making training videos

True but he was answering questions about Blackjack on his facebook wall as well so maybe they are just looking for random content to post.

Training videos from Ivey would be pretty cool though
