PokerNews wanted to know more about the new website of Phil Ivey, where it promises to teach us all his secrets to become a winning poker. So Rich Ryan shares with us his impressions on five points with a touch of humor and a strong dose of realism.

On 8 March, many fans of Phil Ivey on Twitter have been able to read the following message: “After NBC Heads-Up, I worked hard on my last project with my best friends in poker.” A few weeks later, the site PhilIvey.com was launched with the slogan: “I’ll teach you everything you need to know to win at poker.”

All poker sites have spread the news of this new adventure from the leader of Team Pro Full Tilt Poker , but we thought that a thorough inspection was needed to analyze this site, which in reality does not much at the moment.
Phil Ivey.com an empty shell

Phil Ivey. Com

Only a few knowledgeable people know the real wealth of Phil Ivey, but we are confident he has enough money to hire the best webmasters. Although the site is still in launch phase, it appears unremarkable even a little kitsch. Smoke coming from the “P” from his name (he is “on fire”?) And we can lament the presence of a large gray bar misplaced in the middle of the homepage with the words “Coming Soon” (soon available NOW).

Hopefully all this is a beta model, and that will generally look more carefully when the site is ready, because currently we do not find Phil Ivey in his interesting site that two elements: his poker face and background music.
The soundtrack is perfect

If you have not yet seen the movie “Inception,” we prefer you that this paragraph reveals the principle that before you read further. The music chosen for the site, “Mind Heist” by Zack Hemsey blends perfectly with the concept because firstly it is really excellent, and secondly it illustrates perfectly the fact infiltrating various levels of a dream, Ivey is as capable of thinking on several levels at a poker table.

Like the hero of Inception, Don Cobb (played by Leonardo Di Caprio), Phil Ivey was able to extract vital information from his opponents and used against them in key moments. But unlike Cobb, Ivey does this while his opponents are well aware. The only thing that could make the soundtrack even better is to leave the music world. The last stop after a few seconds, forcing refresh the page if you want the replay.
Less is known, the better

The poker world is waiting anxiously to learn more about the intentions of Phil Ivey and content of his teaching. The anticipation and buzz are the two most powerful engines of existing marketing, we know very little about what lies ahead.

However, many users expressed their views on the subject, including on the forum or topic twoplustwo “Ivey’s Tweet / Phil Ivey starting a website” has garnered over 50,000 views. The fact that he had almost no information allows everyone to give his opinion without being contradicted.

Everyone can play a guessing game, each one worth notice provided to express a modicum of intelligence regarding the site and this will make Ivey. In the end, the mountain could well give birth to a mouse, but until the wildest guesses are possible, a concept could not be more powerful if any.
Have Ivey as coach could be just a dream

What is a poker player lambda has in common with Phil Ivey. In a word: nothing. Of course, Ivey went through the box unknown to the battalion, and some would have even seen sleeping on a sidewalk of Atlantic City, but those days are gone we can not. Even if a poker player ‘random’ was able to sit at the same table as Phil Ivey, would it be able to understand explanations of Ivey? Furthermore, we only know if Ivey is a good coach?

Daniel Negreanu said recently that it was difficult to talk of hands of poker with Phil Ivey in part because the latter “not going to necessarily give you much information about its approach depending on the opponent.” Maybe Ivey has just decided to play it quiet for now, but these questions remain open pending a concrete answer.
Phil, teach us the “Ivey Face”

Frankly, if there’s one thing we would like to learn from Phil Ivey is his unique way of staring at his opponents, “a look that kills” that made him famous among all destabilized and more a player. Some prefer to lay their hands back in a coup against him for that reason alone. One of the hallmarks of her look is that it almost never blinks eyes during a major hit, and few are those who tell you otherwise.

Even if they could teach us the famous and terrifying look impenetrable, nothing says that we would reproduce it, but it can at least share some of his knowledge by telling us what his eyes see when laser penetrates the soul its opponents. Can he read minds? Or just there to daydream he plays craps for the $ 1 million hit on a white sandy beach shaded by palm trees? We will probably never know.

He is known as the little prodigy poker Portuguese, Jose “Girah” Macedo, could well be the next opponent, Tom Dwan in the “Durrr Challenge. This young European player that has seen an inexorable rise to becoming a millionaire poker from a deposit of only 30 €, has expressed his desire to participate by contacting Tom Dwan via his Twitter account. If this meeting takes place, it could prove extremely attractive to all kinds of railbirds and this, in many ways.

Challenge by Twitter interposed

March 19, 2011, Macedo asked in all simplicity to Tom Dwan via Twitter if it were to accept new competitors in its challenge cash game heads up high stake after the conclusion of the first two games that are still pending against Patrick Antonius and Daniel “jungleman12″ Cates.

@ Tom_Dwan: “Are You Taking Any More Durrrr challenges after Jungleman / Patrik?”

Dwan met his blackberry:

“@ GirahPoker: Ya, if u want to play post 500k. Hoping to go 12-0;)

“(Yes, I accept the challengers still, if you want to play, forward $ 500,000. Whatever the number of competitors, I expect to win anyway all my games;)”

The conversation was left there between the two men but Macedo returned to the charge on March 28 with a new tweet:

@ Tom_Dwan: “Do You Know When You Would Be Roughly Able to start / how long it Would take? Also Who Would I Send the 500k to? Thanks in advance. ”

(You know when we might possibly start and how long we could accomplish the 50,000 hands of the challenge? Regarding money, I do it how to advance? “)

An encounter that feels pain?

If no information has filtered from this exchange between two men, a fragrance of confrontation seems to float in the air and this for various reasons. Despite a polite request and a little shy, it is a challenge that ultimately launches Macedo to Dwan.

If you followed the story of the little prodigy Portuguese you can find in this article , Macedo is more than aware of having accomplished a remarkable feat since its beginnings who saw from a modest deposit of 30 € to achieve $ 1,624,044.95 of the profit. In point of having a foix unwavering in his lucky star and any act under the protection of the gods of poker? May well be. In any case, the man shows great confidence in his abilities and seems unquestionably belong to the race competitors.

Macedo did his chances?

Since its coming out on the forum twoplustwo.com who revealed to the world of poker as a legend after months of buzz and mystery, Macedo has also become the center of attention. The Portuguese chained interviews with the media specialist. His entry into the elite of poker, however, could be double edged. Is the recognition currently enjoyed Macedo boosts ego and encourages him to redouble efforts to reach an even higher level, or it encourages the sin of pride and explode in midair on overconfidence .

Macedo has what it takes to compete with Dwan? Not! The highest limits in which the player seems to have changed the tables are $ 100 / $ 200. Macedo is not a heads-up expert and has vast experience much lower than Dwan.

Symbolically kill the father

If one follows the thread of the “success story” de Macedo, shows that the latter has evolved goals into objectives, limits on boundaries, but mainly from a dream to another. And the new stage of his fairy tale is none other than Tom Dwan, whose portrait has continued to adorn the walls of the chamber Macedo during his long months of “grind”. If the “durrrr challenge” does take place between two men, Macedo being confronted with his idol and a major new phase of his life.

Dwan appears as a model for Macedo, a symbolic father that he would kill to be able to fully exist. Both players share common points, notably that of being started from scratch at a very young age.

No doubt that Macedo engage all his heart and all its capabilities in this challenge that will certainly be exciting to follow because of the strong context that surrounds it. Macedo also is the first true outsider’s “durrrr challenge” while other competitors already entered, Antonius and Cates, and those advertised on the waiting list, Ivey and Benyamine, are big hitters.

For his part Dwan’s interest to accept this challenge in which he appears as a runaway favorite. But beware, Macedo has teeth that line the floor and spent part of his training with Cates, the sworn enemy of “durrrr”.

The Peter Principle is a satirical premise which states that the higher up a hierarchical organization, the closer to his level of incompetence. We saw a few of the consequences of its application in our first article on the Peter Principle applied to poker .

To add another string to your bow in your arsenal and your mastery of the psychology of poker player , we present a set of solutions to the Peter Principle, which we continue to explore the ramifications of a future article.
Solutions to the problem Peter

Fighting the Peter Principle requires no genius, but claimed in retaliation for any serious poker player careful management not only of his bankroll, but his career as a whole. Here are some key points in the solutions that avoid falling into this trap with disastrous consequences.

Nothing revolutionary in what follows, but simply a list of resolutions using the “common sense pokeristique” which we hope you come back in memory with the mere mention of the Peter Principle as soon as this last point his nose in your game

1. Manage your bankroll strictly

It’s certainly the No. 1 board any coach or player in professional peers with less experience: manage your bankroll and always keep a low minimum buy-ins before you start to attack upper limits.

2. Put your ego aside

As we know, the ego is both the best weapon of the player (see our article on The Illusion of players, a necessary evil ) and his worst enemy. To not let your ego lead you away from your career best, is an excellent way to maintain your results (in Excel for example) and analyze them.

3. Do not stay alone in your corner

Another good way to “watch himself” is to publish its results (in a blog for example) by accepting the criticism that will be made. Those who follow you and support you in your progression will be the first to alert you to any possible drift. Being part of a “team” or having a coach can only help in this simple process of collecting an external perspective on his own game

4. Consider, again and again

5. Take control of your impulses and tilt ‘gambleur’

If you want to indulge in playing a game normally beyond your means, you know a limit of money to hire and hold on to it.

6. Take your time

One of the biggest mistakes not to make, and the basis for realization of the Peter Principle, is to go too high too fast. The Harder They Fall saying goes. If you are a winner largely limited to what you’ll quickly climb to the upper limit.

Even with a very reasonable gain 1BB per hour, you can move up several levels in just a few months, but keep in mind that it is much faster to assemble the necessary bankroll for the upper limit that to really master this limit.

Therefore you must absolutely avoid climbing limit “as soon as your bankroll allows. Instead, earnings accumulate in your usual limit while starting to play some parts of the upper limit. Mix up your game and above all take the time to master the upper limit before considering leaving your usual limit.

7. Adopt a policy of small steps

One step forward, one step back, it’s better than trying to climb three steps at once and you risk breaking bones in a fall from a blow to the bottom. It is the ultimate antidote Peter Principle: Unlike most organizations which apply in this assumption, poker offers the possibility of lifting and lowering of the level based on your results.

If you show up losing to a higher level, go down to your level winner (what a strict bankroll management requires you to do in theory) and analyze the reasons for your failure before trying your luck again.
