noticed this too.

I would not feel good about Ivey (and probably any poker pro) owing me money.

For these HS Pros, their play is a business enterprise that churns millions of dollars a year; and, as such, it is time to treat it professionally -- insist that money that is bet outside of the tables be first put in-Trust or secured to guarantee payout in the event of loss.

Without unearned FTP money flowing by the millions each month, no Pro is guaranteed not to go broke or acquire debts that they realistically will not be able to repay. History repeats because the passions of man do not change ...

ben86 doesnt play ike or sauce, he said it in the latest podcast. Reason being that he percieves them to be much smarter than him, not necessarily better in PLO for the time being but he basically mean that they are the two guys he feels probably would be winners if they clashed for a lengthy amount of time based on their brains being much more equiped for the offtable study/work on game.

Guy is very humble about his own abilities but at the same time very confident if that makes any sense, he got mad respect for the brains of ike and sauce and isnt particularly keen about feeding them hands HU to pick apart but he is the biggest winner @ HU PLO and isnt afraid of anyone else.

Maybe they share action while playing that high

Of course they do. Stakes too high to have all their own action. Anyone can see that not only do they never play HU against each other, they never even sit at 6 max tables together. Presume the group consists of Ben, Sauce and MrSweets and maybe Ike. Long term goal is to take all of Isildur's money that he earns at 2-7 or mixed games and i believe Viktor is a winner at FL08 too. During their podcasts they give Isildur lots of praise and get the word out how good he is and then continue to take advantage of his awful bankroll management. Isildur will always lose long term due to his tendencies and so they as a group cover any negative short term variance and reap the long term rewards. Isildur has made them all rich men.

^ most likely explanation
I rarely see any 2 of 3 on 1 table

He said that he doesn't play them HU. You can't avoid playing vs them in 6-max if the game is good and he obv isn't.

He says what he is expected to say. Its the type of response you get when you confront a humble person about their greatness. Not everyone are selfproclaimed kings (even in the pokerworld). Its very farfetched that he actually believes they are much smarter than him. Maybe he considers them equals. Maybe he even suspects that they might be slightly smarter than him. But there is like no chance at all that he thinks they are on another level than him (much smarter).
