Doyle Brunson talked about the old days of cheats and games being held up... he saw a dude get blasted by another man with a shotgun if memory serves right. Then others getting dealt with and put in a hole in the desert. Crazy.
Dude, even in modern times. Multiple clubs I've played at has had people rushing in with masks and guns. Some even put "fines" on clubs. Luckily I was never present during them, but that's just completely fucked up.. These clubs weren't THAT underground. Shopping streets etc., but they just didn't give a f..
If I were Ivey I wouldn’t change my game. He’s already the goat. Who knows if solvers pollute his natural reading ability with percentages and math that take away from his already amazing gift of poker skills
Yea but it also might help him undertstand certain players typically better players and why they did what they did. or him at the least have a deeper understanding. He’s the goat but hasnt been seen playing too many high rollers publicly. Not saying he doesn’t play all the time but maybe him doing solvers might give tht confidence boost on playing in front of a camera more often while at the end/middle of his career bc now he feels complete knowing about solvers unlike before. My bad for long read
No. He actually said a lot. Y'all need to understand that the fundamental of sucess in poker rely on something else than just math theories. I am a winning player, and I also dont use these solvers. It's all about the read.
@@EVScape Is your name Tom, by any chance? I played on stars many years ago vs a guy from Australia that played both RS and poker. I get that you're not the only Ozzy playing poker and RS, but worth a shot! Haha
@ no. Phil Ivey did not cheat at baccarat. The casino agreed to his terms of play the dealers and the types of cards in play. The courts got that wrong. Ivey did not mark the cards. He just took advantage of imperfections. The casino didn’t have to agree to his terms of play, but they did because they wanted him to play.
@ It’s not the cards it’s that he colluded with the dealer to lift the cards at an angle so he could see the ones that are defective and that my friend is called a conspiracy that’s why he got convicted.
@ the casinos agreed to Ivey,s request for his dealers. He didn’t see the cards, he saw the backs of the cards and made use of edge sorts due to the imperfections of the cards. The casinos are in the gambling business and agreed to this. They didn’t have to agree. They should be responsible. The dealers didn’t do a false shuffle to alert Ivey the position of certain cards in the shoe. Had they done this, it would have been cheating. So no. There was no collusion here. Ivey played the game legally.
To all the goofies that don't understand, Ivey didnt cheat, he exploited the casino just like the casino does everyday. He asked for a set of conditions which the casino willfully agreed to because he was playing so high. The argument is apples to oranges, advantage play against a casino and cheating against other players at poker are worlds apart. Its silly to speak on subjects you have no knowledge in.
Gonna be honest this is a massive grey area and if anyone wants to be objective about it, it shouldn't be surprising that he lost the lawsuit. He was using edge sorting to gain a massive advantage. Sure casinos exploit others, but it doesn't mean its acceptable to try the reverse.
Ivey was playing cash during a WPT event once and someone came in to rob the cage. He was doing prop bets with Barry Greenstein, and his prop had hit that flop. While hiding under the table Phil looks over at Barry and says "hey you know im on for doubles next hand right?" 🤣🤣🤣
I dont think he should even touch solvers, it statistically ruined Negreanu in his heads up with Polk and years of WSOP. Choosing frequencies over if you think the opponent is weak only makes them worse
That’s interesting. Did he really get worse? I thought it was because he wasn’t able to keep up with the playing field hence why he did it…to get better. Meaning that without upgrading his game he wouldn’t have gotten to play Polk to begin with. Idk 🤷♂️
Wtf does “statistically ruined” even mean?? Negreanu was already a huge dog in a heads up match against Doug long before he started using solvers, NL cash hands passed him by almost 2 decades ago, he just wasn’t able to adapt his game quickly enough. You can see it even when he streams now, he’ll say “the solvers would tell you not to do this” and he’ll play a dumb trappy line that somebody would play in 2003 that is just ridiculously unbalanced, and guess what, it usually doesn’t work out!
@@davidoconnor1773 nah, at least he had winning years shown in his logs that has, since his solver learning its -1.1 in 2022 and -723k in 2023. he still uses that lame look at the clock call/fold solver bs
@ you mean the year end results he posts on his blog? For years those only covered tournaments (where he still probably has an edge) but Daniel has been a dog in big bet cash games for a very long time.
Poker is way more popular now. You have a million YT channels of poker pros showing how easy it is to become rich. And now there are so many free resources to learn poker. And you can play a million hands online. Throw that in to an economy with few real good jobs and people figure they'll gamble their way to prosperity. Kind of like how lottery picks up during a recession.
Am I the only one that finds it a bit hypocritical to go that hard on cheating then admit you called someone in an online game under false pretenses to get a read?? I'm not saying that's necisarily cheating but where do we draw the line?
Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh, what's becoming of me? Ride the tiger, you can see his stripes, but you know he's clean. Cue Phil Ivey, "Ya know what I mean?"
What i like about Ivey is that he is a complete player. Most of the pros seem like they use certain strategies every single hand... Phil does that and then goes off intuition and feel. He has an uncanny sense of sniffing out BS.
So we’re not going to talk about the real reason Phil is hesitant to talk about cheaters and give his fans the “kill ‘em all” red meat? If you could be more honest I’m sure Phil would be the first to say cheating the house is one thing, but not other players.
"I see what thier doing in different situations then I start to implement that into my strategy" Yes, I thought we all did this, "adjusting to your opponents"
Solvers are standard now for any beginner to learn the game properly. It’s the fundamentals. Most semi pro and pro players use them now. A good way to think about it is this. GTO vs exploitative. Any player that has a skills advantage is playing exploitative poker. But when the sharks are all playing each other it’s simply easier to just play balanced GTO than partake in the psychological warfare of exploiting the leak, followed by an adjustment, followed by counter adjustment etc.
@ sure, I don’t see why not. Then again if he thinks that’s the aspect he has to “protect” he’s even more delusional lol. I think it’s more Phil’s brand to be an over the top cry baby who shames players for making better plays than him while dunking on others with his .3 second all in’s. Why be ashamed of solvers? It’s literally the game right now, from flop odds shown on screen to commentary. It’s the grammar or poker.
@@cheflev9884 I don't think it's shame, I think it's more that he doesn't want people to think he takes standard lines. He's got the image of someone who bluffs, but these days seems nittier
Solvers are for weak players who can't put in time and money into the game to learn how most older players learned.. playing gto is never definitive.. you can't possibly be calling/betting/raising/folding optimally.. You're basing it on % of hands.. and you can't know exactly when it is to fold/call/bet raise.. its hilarious how people who use solvers can't see how they all play the same now and that makes the game boring.. being called down by bingo players with random cards calling flops with nothing to hit runner runner.. its comical the lengths people go through to justify their bingo playing.. You're either ahead or behind.. no in-between..
@@jacksparrow3490 You sound confused. GTO is the fundamentals of poker. Period. It’s never about becoming like a computer that knows what to do every single time, nor is it about playing optimal all the time. It’s about getting close enough and learning all the different spots. Every single modern poker strategy you can think of from ranges based on position, to bet sizing based on position and hand strength, to how you play short stacked vs big stacked etc all come from GTO. Exploitative play comes from reads because you understand GTO. Villain 3 bets too much from the button…UTG limps in too much, player X folds too much on the turn with a pot sized bet etc. All of these exploits come from understanding GTO. Old heads had a vague understanding of most of there concepts but GTO made it concrete and learnable to much a faster extent. A poker coach, solver, and hand tracker can turn a nube into a semi pro in under a year of dedicated learning.
I would like to point out in this "civil" day and age.We as poker players, 150 years ago would shoot each other over this game for cheating....just sayin
Ivey doesn't just play against the cards, but the people holding them. People who do math and solvers may still lack the edge against an Ivey or a Negreanu. (and will continue to own Hellmuth)
Every cheating situation is different. Is the cheater still donating to the game because they're cheating edge is lower than their skill deficit? Do you have enough evidence to prove the cheating in a court of law and/or the court of public opinion? Might you gain more evidence if you don't immediately expose the cheater? Might you face vigilante justice for exposing the cheater? Do you like or dislike the people being cheated? Right or wrong, all these questions and more will likely inform the decisions people make. Poker (and life) decisions are nuanced and that includes how to respond when you think someone is cheating.
The dealers from one casino I play at go to the other reservation casino and play. These dealers I speak of all collude together at the table and text each other in game during hands.
Depends what you consider cheating. He was just using knowledge and and observation to his advantage so I really don’t consider that cheating but a lot of people do
it was cheating because it was literally against the rules. Doug Polk has a video about it where it shows many clips of the announcers throughout the tournament saying someone along the lines of "no electronic devices near a table or inbetween hands or whatever" I dont remember it well, but it was clearly against the rules, but they allowed them to do it for some reason. Just spineless I think.
Well, I've never heard of "solvers" maybe someone could explain it to me. Anyway, why didn't they ask him about the lawsuit that he lost against him several years ago? When the casino lost millions to him one night. He had a female coach, coaching him as he was playing a hand. I can't think of the name of the game. But, it was allowed at that time. He actually had many poker players come to his defense. Including my favorite, The poker kid.
As I understand it - the game was Baccarat they asked to play with a certain commercial deck of cards the cards were not uniform on the back they learned the value of many of the cards (if only high or low) and had them oriented to stay consistent in terms of "readability" they requested a uniform shuffle method so the sorting wasn't lost then he bet accordingly It was a form of cheating in my view but others say it was "allowed" Basically they told the casino - "let us give the dealer special instructions" The special instructions made the irregularity in the back of the card patterns exploitable
@@howard5992 Ivey never altered any equipment or took any illegal actions. The casino allowed themselves to be duped and then cried foul. Basically the exact reverse of their entire business model with regard to the public (i.e. slot machines, which are rigged in the house's favor, and you're just a sucker for playing so too bad if you lose all your money)
re: solvers - tldr computer programs run millions of simulations and find the statistically balanced play for every combination of cards, position and bet size. you can even input what you think your opponent's strategy is, and the computer will tell you the ideal counter-strategy. there may be a better strategy in actual practice, but the solver will tell you how to play theoretically perfect poker so that no matter what your opponent does, in the long run you will at least break even.
Yeah, that dude & his coach cheated, but they cheated fully out in the open.... so yeah. Im still amazed no one else at the final table called the floor to get a rulling.
6:12 I think, "As I'm sure many had thought he was opposed to"* or "To which I'm sure many had thought he was opposed". Minor, but eh. Being "opposed" is different from being "opposed to something"
Came here to say this. Would really like to have gotten Ivey's thoughts without the host talking over him. It has to be a tremendous temptation to show Ivey how smart he is, but that's not the point of an interview.
I'm sorry but there's no way I can agree. He just asked a casino to keep everything the same as he played baccarat. Nothing wrong with that because their error is their fault.
Iykyk Ivey don’t grind solvers… and he probably never will.. he is a Solver.. most humans cant play well enough to beat him as he is.. he’s a hustler not computer science nerd. No offense to the GTO nerds.. he’s old school poker savant
So funny. Lance Armstrong, Mark McGwire, track athletes, professional football, the list is endless. Where there’s money on the line, there’s cheating. Acting as if you’re astonished is disingenuous.

Ivey has definitely changed his game over the years. He’s adaptive to beat the modern pros.
It will add on to his game not take away
Brother. Anyone that knows anything about poker knows hellmuth is better than ivy
Who TF is inviting Phil fvcking Ivey to their home game?
Serious degenerates😅
lmao for real they are signing up to lose
EXTREMELY rich people.
lol rich people love to gamble with pros.
I’m not rich but it but fun to play with such a legend of the game. I’d lose a couple thousand for the entertainment
I thought that was Hellmuth talking to Ivey on the thumbnail. Lol
8 minutes of Ivey saying nothing
Hes saying a lot, just not with his words.
i can spot 1 fish & it's you
thats why hes the goat
No. He actually said a lot. Y'all need to understand that the fundamental of sucess in poker rely on something else than just math theories. I am a winning player, and I also dont use these solvers. It's all about the read.

I think the courts ruled against Ivey because he is black.
I love the way Finish people speak, the tone and the bluntness, they don't fuck about! Patrik is a legend!! Quality quote there!
haha and that snowflake Matt Berkey holding himself back from saying something in offense to that statement. So great
Phil Ivey is like Tiger woods when he talks
He’s got marbles in his mouth
RIP Mike Postle
What happened to him? Or did he go “missing” ?
Witness protection for Postle
Phil is the ultimate hustler . He knows the solvers by now and has strategy to beat guys he knows base a lot of their game off of it
Makes sense to me Phil, I'm older but everyday is a learning day, and when you drop a nugget, it's worth listening to 😊
Where is the clip of patrick saying people are marking cards? Cant find it anywhere
In the video bro

Is that a real story?😮
Phil Ivey is the evolution of poker 2025 and light years beyond 💯
I dont think he should even touch solvers, it statistically ruined Negreanu in his heads up with Polk and years of WSOP. Choosing frequencies over if you think the opponent is weak only makes them worse

I like to mix it up
Really ? This just clickbait, he didnt explain anything.
"So many nuggets of wisdom came out of this interview ..."
Ivey: "I really don't wanna go into that..."
🤔☺️
If you cheat Ivey, he's got people to deal with that.
What is worst GG poker or cheaters?? Feels like a push at this point
Ivy got shifty and changed the subject when he felt he might be asked if he has ever cheated, which suggests that he has.
Poker is way more popular now. You have a million YT channels of poker pros showing how easy it is to become rich. And now there are so many free resources to learn poker. And you can play a million hands online.
Throw that in to an economy with few real good jobs and people figure they'll gamble their way to prosperity. Kind of like how lottery picks up during a recession.
At least that's what they want you to think. In reality, it's easier and MUCH more likely that you'll just be another fish going broke.
GOAT of Poker Phil Ivey ... honorable mentions Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan ..
They asking Ivey about cheating ? 😂😂 they dont know about him
Am I the only one that finds it a bit hypocritical to go that hard on cheating then admit you called someone in an online game under false pretenses to get a read?? I'm not saying that's necisarily cheating but where do we draw the line?
Ivey has been saying for years he is going to dive into the solvers. We will see if he does we may get the GOAT evolving even more.
Imagine he already has and he’s just concealing that knowledge
I think he just says that he never used them, guy plays everything close to the vest.
Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea.
Oh, what's becoming of me?
Ride the tiger, you can see his stripes,

Poker expert gives an interview and hilariously provides no information because he’s a poker expert.
where is the full podcast/conversation??

Just a heads up: Negreanu has studied solvers, so you shouldn’t have shown him along with Helmuth while describing pros not using them.
Well they did say "Guys like Ivey and Negreanu adapt" over the Helmuth clip
They used to smash on hand unrepairable for them to never get caught cheating again.
“Use the Force.” Phil Ivey, episode 4
Ivey doesn't just play against the cards, but the people holding them. People who do math and solvers may still lack the edge against an Ivey or a Negreanu. (and will continue to own Hellmuth)

It’s funny that this video is about cheaters, when Ivey had that baccarat case when he was cheating.
Ivey basically saying you cheat? ok cool I’ll call my boys
Does Phil Ivey have a stutter?
No i suspect he a cheater

Serious question - does he have a stutter?
Nah. He is being careful regarding what he wants to put out
nah, he has done his fair share of cocaine though

did Phil have surgery to keep his eyes from blinking?
😂
They should record all hand histories and calculate how much they gained and reward it to their opponents

The biggest edge that Ivey has is a lot of his opponents are playing with other peoples money and are scared

they requested a uniform shuffle method so the sorting wasn't lost
then he bet accordingly
It was a form of cheating in my view but others say it was "allowed"

re: solvers - tldr computer programs run millions of simulations and find the statistically balanced play for every combination of cards, position and bet size. you can even input what you think your opponent's strategy is, and the computer will tell you the ideal counter-strategy. there may be a better strategy in actual practice, but the solver will tell you how to play theoretically perfect poker so that no matter what your opponent does, in the long run you will at least break even.
Do y’all honestly think solvers really make you that much better?
Yes I’ve solved the game
How so please elaborate and lmk what tools/programs you use?
@@santanah.6897 my brain
He's not wrong
In fact he's right
Phil has got some serious crazy-eyes.
@4:04 Beheading is alittle too far IVEY, BUT, cutting their fingers off says "YOU WILL NEVER CHEAT AGAIN"...lol...J/S
If someone cheats why not just ban them and pass their face around to different casinos, like they do with card counters.
Yeah, that dude & his coach cheated, but they cheated fully out in the open.... so yeah. Im still amazed no one else at the final table called the floor to get a rulling.
What about the dealers
They can and do cheat as well
MECHANICS
6:12 I think, "As I'm sure many had thought he was opposed to"* or "To which I'm sure many had thought he was opposed". Minor, but eh. Being "opposed" is different from being "opposed to something"
I can't really watch this, whenever Phil Ivey talks you interrumpt with unnecessary comments at the beginning
Came here to say this. Would really like to have gotten Ivey's thoughts without the host talking over him. It has to be a tremendous temptation to show Ivey how smart he is, but that's not the point of an interview.
If there’s one thing Ivy knows about, it’s shady behavior in a casino.
Seriously hilarious, of all people 😂
@@webchamp930he did nothing wrong
I'm sorry but there's no way I can agree. He just asked a casino to keep everything the same as he played baccarat. Nothing wrong with that because their error is their fault.
Wait. Are you comparing cheating in poker VS other players....to rigging the game in your favor against institutions that have always done so?
@@MrBeatboxmasta for a guy who did nothing wrong, he sure did lose a lot of count cases.
Fun fact, someone at this table was accused of cheating and lost in court.
So im not going to take his opinion too seriously
I just commented on that
@@kevinwaters1272 except he didn't cheat, he asked for a set of conditions and the casino agreed
Not exactly but whatevs.
he literally didnt cheat, he made some requests from the casino, and the casino agreed to them. Its really their fault for being negligent.
Phil would have you "taken care of" 😂
I think you shouldn't mix "finding an edge" with "cheating". They are different in my mind.
The tournament organizers specifically said that was against the rules throughout the tournament. If its against the rules, its cheating.
Here for Brad, not Phil
Criminal charges just like people who manipulate the stock markets etc…
Ivey the 🐐
Ivey, has been on top of the poker world, it seems forever, he has never used solvers or GTO, I am more confused about poker than ever! ha ha
Ivey became a comedian all of a sudden. A stuttering one also
You should start making shorts to gain more viewers.
6:51 he's probably talking about IQ but doesn't want to sound like an asshole
Hes talking about live reads
The guy on the left has cool socks ;)
Poker is dead, solved and ruined by dungeon dwellers.
go to Texas.
womp womp, get good
How about this, if a player is caught cheating, take one of his fingers so he'll remember and everyone else will know not to cheat!
Wow, I guess you should always fold to PI lest he labels you a "'cheater".
Ivey doesn’t want to talk about cheating because he had a Baccarat cheating scandal going with his girlfriend
maybe try making your video without the shit subtitles. youtube has a subtitle option for those who don't understand speech or are deaf
Pretty funny the man who cheated at Baccarat is telling other people his thoughts on cheating.
Iykyk Ivey don’t grind solvers… and he probably never will.. he is a Solver.. most humans cant play well enough to beat him as he is.. he’s a hustler not computer science nerd. No offense to the GTO nerds.. he’s old school poker savant
The clips you chose to show are really great ! But your commentary not so much... Maybe become a clip channel !?
What did you not like about commentary?
this felt like a interrogation.. and ivey came across defensive.. what was the purpose of the sit down..
Ivey isn't made as he isn't Italian, so this wasn't a sit down.
Ivey got the crazy eyes when he was thinking about getting cheated. Love it lol
So funny. Lance Armstrong, Mark McGwire, track athletes, professional football, the list is endless. Where there’s money on the line, there’s cheating. Acting as if you’re astonished is disingenuous.
Asking that man about cheating didn’t he cheat??
What an a55hole move. Showing a picture of Robbi when talking about cheating!
Is edge sorting considered cheating?
in the U.K court, Yes, yes it is.
NO !!! he got cheated
@@Francis-yv6hc the casino probably owned the court like they own the gaming board in USA.
No its not, its smart,
it was their own decks ffs , so no.
Why would he use a solver when played more hand then it lol 😂
I wanted to hear his voice.... wow
