view: Phil Ivey the angle-shooter(WSOP bracelet bet)

So obviously when Phil made all of his big $ WSOP bracelet prop bets, he intentionally didn't specify that the WSOP Europe would count. Only after all his bets were made did he make it known that the a WSOP Europe bracelet counted towards the bet.

Lol at calling him an ''angle shooter''.

Why does he have to ''specify'' whether or not it should count.

Re: view: Phil Ivey the angle-shooter(WSOP bracelet bet)

Thats the thing is WSOPE will only be like 5 events at most this year. I understand people are a little mad but they are still getting the WAYY best of it betting at 1.8 to 1 odds on him winning one. Especially since he is starting to realize it isnt as easy as he thought it was gonna be. I think he thought this was gonna be a cakewalk walking through the minefield that is the WSOP fields.

Re: view: Phil Ivey the angle-shooter(WSOP bracelet bet)

he is correct though. they are real WSOP bracelets. no argument to be had imo. if you listen to his wording of the bet on Pokerroad it's pretty clear.

Yeh the WSOPE bracelets definently count. But like I was saying all the bets against him are stil +EV even with Europe included. So I dont see why people are still mad that bet against him they still have the best of it by far.

Next time you get it all in preflop with AA vs KK will you let the dealer put up 6 cards?

It's still +ev for you.

if the dealer pulled out the rules of holdem and showed you that the board is supposed to be 6 cards you couldn't get too mad about it though right?

Why not. Pretty sure it would just lower variance
