Phil Ivey's divorce case in today's LVRJ - Page 6 - Poker News

i didn't think we would live to see the day we would start calling Ivey a degenerate lol.. if there's one poker player who isn't playing like a degenerate it's Ivey. apart from shooting craps and stuff he's solid all around.

ivey may not be the most caring or social guy out there but I still respect him a lot as a poker player and he's an example (or should be) to all of us

lol

People in the poker world that are labeled 'degnerates' are most often done so because of leaks/compulsions they have outside of poker. The obvious big two being sports betting and table games.
Phil Ivey could possibly go down as being one of the biggest degenerates to ever live.

If she were truly a feminist, the opposite would be true -- she would eschew dependency on men, imo.

As for her degree, it sounds more like she didn't know what she wanted to do, and/or was getting her MRS degree.

Granted, it certainly could be that she was extremely interested in women's studies, but generally when people get degrees like this, or "anthropology" or what have you, they just aren't sure what they want to be doing.

Why not? We all know Ivey is an ultra high stakes poker reg but there's plenty of other info out there to suggest he's a degen. Stories about him betting big dollars on the Lakers winning the championship, huge bracelet prop bets, sitting with pen and paper on TV keeping track of highly +EV bets such as black or red flops (sarcasm obv), no meat eating for a year bets and last but not least let's not forget about the million dollar dice sessions. These are only the tip of the iceberg I'm sure. There's plenty of info out there to suggest Ivey is a huge gambling degen.

Yeah, you're right, people who get "women's studies" or "anthropology" or "psychology" or similar liberal arts degrees always have a firm plan in mind for the future.
