- Phil Ivey continues his conversation with Barry Greenstein and discusses his rapid rise to fame in the poker boom, dealing with adversity, and how it felt to be on the wrong side of a poker hand that changed the history of the game.
This is, by far, the most I've ever seen Phil Ivey speak.
Right?! haha
He's just a good dude
Seen months of footage of him playing, First time I hear his voice
It’s called an interview...
@@zachsamboi5931 And my statement remains accurate.
As a poker dealer for 7 years, I appreciate what he said about dealer abuse.
Amen.. not to mention those idiots that smack the table or splash pots 🤦🏻♂️
I lve in London, would go and play small stakes tournaments a lot. Never seen abuse happen. Strange to think it does What actually is said?
@Brian Davis ??
isnt that what youre paid for?
@@abdulfattah4276 fk you one shouldn't be abused even if it's work
The object of poker is to keep ur money away from phill ivey for as long as possible.

Gus did a v.good job of this...by giving it to everybody else instead

“...zero tolerance for dealer abuse” love that answer and I agree
Stupid poker players are great. The idiots need to be taken out with the trash though.
Dealer abuse is beyond stupid. It's a clear sign of insanity.
Never understood blaming the dealer seems like bullshit superstition.Make it a fine straight to the dealers pocket from the players stack.
Raiders need this win Sunday! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Ya no kidding they are not in control of the cards or the out come they are just being dealt legit
Agreed! Gone immediately. Also, the argumentative, out of control, poor losers who attack other players and how they played their hand. Man up or get kicked out, no exceptions.
4:00 I work as a dealer and that statement right there solidified my opinion of you as a great, humble, and respectful man! On behalf of all dealers around the world amen!!
@Lean mean Killing machine 😔😥
Tbf, it kinda goes both ways because a lot of players will tip the dealer heavily when the dealer gives them a card they need
@@johnnytwotimes7854 lol childish mindset
How can you respect someone that respects Obama and Jordan. Those two hate America. A country that gave them everything. They want to change America from the great country it is, and apologize to other countries for our success. And what Jordan and the NBA have done by getting so political is such a shame. Why couldn't we just leave basketball for what it is and stay out of politics with it?
@@1yearrvp I bet you abuse dealers too
That bad beat possibly made him more money by enticing so many fish into the game.
Bang on!.....Moneymaker really put poker on the map.
Truth
It definitely made him more money 💰
No shit sherlok
@@janehedgehog1016 well i started playing in 2002 read tons of books my first year and after Chris won the ME. Tons of fish started playing. I was no shark but the difference in skill of the average table was very noticeable. Now its not the same but plenty of bad players out there that make good games easy to find
THANK YOU PHIL!!
I was a Dealer for 13 years in Las Vegas (Craps, Black Jack, and Poker), and I cannot say thank you enough for that comment about Dealer Abuse!
I have never understood attacking a Dealer. Ever. We don't _want_ anyone to lose (unless, of course, they are continually being an asshole!) We don't _force you_ to sit at the table and risk your Money!
95% of Dealers are actively hoping and praying that you WIN!
This is for 2 reasons:
1) It makes our job much easier and more enjoyable with a winning table and a genuinely happy group of players.
AND...
2) We live on TIPS! You don't Win, we don't make Money(usually).
For me, there is no better game to Deal than Craps. It's the most fun Game in the Casino, and if there is a Full Table and someone catches a long roll... Craps is THE BEST! Everyone is cheering and Clapping and having a great time! The anticipation of each roll is off the charts! There can be LITERALLY hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table during a long roll, and for the Dealers, there is no better time!
On the flip side, if a table is losing and miserable, that can make the job a living hell.
We know that you are losing money...
WE KNOW.
Once again, we don't WANT to take it from you.
Please, if you read this and you are ever out Gambling again, please do not take your losses out on your Dealer that night. We sincerely are in your corner... we are almost always hoping you win. In fact, most of us will HELP YOU to increase your odds of winning IF you are decent to us.
Anyway, Thank You Phil.
People like Mike Matasow need to watch this... and he also needs to seek counseling.
I agree with all you said. Most dealers do not want you to lose. However you can tell when someone is happy you’re losing. It’s a body language thing, the way they look at you. And I hate to tell you, I’ve sat down at blackjack tables with a dealer and I go on a losing streak and they’re HAPPY. Maybe they’re miserable SOB’s. But heck, I didn’t cuss them off or act like an ass. I just sat down, here I am losing and they’re happy. You can deny it, I agree dealer abuse happens to good dealers. You can also concede that there are bad dealers out there who don’t care about the tips, they’re miserable and enjoy seeing others be miserable
Definitely shouldn't be any abuse in professional games like poker on the big stage. But working in casinos and just being in a dodgy job and dealing games like black jack to addicts and helping the system take all their money you kinda deserve it. Go and get a different job. Dont be part of the problem
I stopped Phil & asked him for a photo while he was walking through the crown casino in Australia years ago and he was an absolute gent. I never ever get star struck and normally wouldn’t even bother asking people for photos but Ivey is different.
It's like he's super and intense and super chill at the same time
Yes we need more of phil talking. Love these interviews with the legends
Barry Greenstein is himself a legend, so you get a legend interviewing a legend.
This was such a great interview. I started playing myself in 02 and Ivey was the man we all wanted to emulate and was blown away by in the "early" days (speaking from my generation, no shade thrown to the earlier legends), with you Barry always being the solid player that I looked up to and of course went through Ace on the River cover to cover many times. It's just amazing so many years later to look at this interview, with polar opposite playstyles but both making it, knowing all you guys' Bobbys room history and all that. Just a great piece having Ìvey open up like this and that phonecall you brought up. Him justifying taking a card of the flop with his 99 vs AQ Moneymaker hand (which intuitively seemed right to me as well for different reasons). Just a gold episode, can't express enough how much I enjoyed it. Insane cooler but still fun to hear both you guys talk about it.
Also hearing Phil say that he didn't have much money at the time, blows my mind at how privileged we are to see Phil at his most "raw" form.
Great interviews- Please keep these coming - well shot, great questions and super well edited - thank you
Two of my favourite players. It's been a while since I saw Barry and Phil.
Listening to Barry, he’s such class - in fact, both are exceptional
Thanks son
He gives most of his poker winnings to charity. Hes a class act
I didn't know these two were such good friends. I've seen them play against each other a ton, but didn't know they'd call one another after bad beats and such.
Loved the chill, casual vibes yet there was so much to be taken from what's being said.
Cream rises to the top where Barry and Phil deserve to be. Rare treat watching these gentlemen play, even if just on TV. These interviews are priceless. Thank you so much for everything you both do and stand for.
cup of coffee
Great interview berry great job, Phil thank you for taking the time to talk with us we love both of you. God bless 🙏
Not sure if You or Phil read these comments, when I first began playing I had that feeling of "it was meant to happen. Learn from it" mentality. I didnt know any better, but intuitively I guess I did. After years I began to burnout, and that mentality slipped my mind. I began losing. But it was refreshing to hear Phil articulate that exact mentality back to the viewers, because it reminds me the only way to really be present in every single hand is to allow things to be. No outcome is guaranteed. Thanks Barry, thanks Phil. You guys are great for the game I really appreciate you two.
These are really enjoyable interviews, thanks to both of you.
His last comment about losing is also golden. Goes not just for poker, but for almost everything else in life. Wise man, same as Barry.
Baseball ⚾️, 3 for 10 and you're a winner
Wow didn’t recognize Barry for a second. Still looks like he’s in great shape an has it together. ❤ Poker longevity is amazing!
Really? I was gonna comment that he looked terrible
@Bur6212 he looks good. He's 20 years older
@@Bur6212 bruh really just hates normal looking older people
absolutely love these interviews!
Did Phil just eat a punnet of blueberries before this interview?
hahaha 100 he was drinkin a purple-slurpee
Probably wine
Lmao, he's light-skinned, it's just an illusion bruh.
Why is this not like an hour long? Want more of these!
Barry Greenstein, thank you for playing and acknowledging me on Stars when we played on a small stakes table in 2013.
Wow..... that was awesome!! Much respect to the current players crushing the game and all the work they put into the theories. But damn, I miss the good ol days. Phil and Chip Reese were the best to ever do it🤘
Love listening to these guys talk. Ace on the river... how fitting for the hand and the book.
Love seeing two legends wax nostalgic about poker. Classy fellas.
Thank you Phil Ivey. I’m a dealer and I get verbally abused everyday at work. It comes with the job.
Damn man, that is one thing that I have always hated at the table. People who turn on the dealer (for whatever reason) are absolute fucking pricks.
I always feel bad when that happens. But I also naturally try to capitalize on players who show their frustrations at the same time. Most players playing 2/5 (live) aren't exactly GTO. At least where I live.
@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 i mean it really comes with the job..like daily BS in every other job. Just give a fuck about it and hope you cooler him again🤣🤣
You should joke with them. Tell them the more they yell at you the worse hands you'll deal them since they think you have that kind of control anyway.
@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 Dealer abuse is one of the reasons I quit being a dealer. And the casino never protected us; they always let the abuser slide. I really got to hating poker players when I was a dealer, and only started enjoying playing poker again when I finally quit.
I was a dealer for 11 years and I obv agree with Phil. But part of me wonders how sincere he is. I know poker staff who have told me Phil isn't the most friendly person
Cant beleive I only just found this channel. Loving this content!!!
Man did I enjoy this clip. Proud ambassadors of poker. Thank you.
Being a poker fan for 15 years and never knew Ivey was so talkative
A regular chattie Kathy!
He isn't!
2 Class guys, such an interesting interview.
I can feel the poker realm trembling in fear knowing Phil Ivey is hungry once again, good luck kids he's coming for you
Good stuff . This friendship is awesome
Barry Greenstein should interview Barry Greenstein because that’s who he REALLY wants to hear from
I understand this comment.
Terrific content and interview
More interviews with the Legend please!! Amazing video
Phil Ivey just exudes class
But not high class

Phils Commentary at End About How Some Hands Are Just Fate and to Learn From Them...Really Shows His Maturity Over The Years
Would love to hear some stories about when he used to fly across the world, play craps, and win/lose millions. Great interview!
I could watch this for HOURS!
Took me 3 minutes to realize the person interviewing tiger woods was barry greenstein
The fuk u smoking
LOL
I enjoyed watching Phil over the years. I enjoyed never hearing him say more than 2 words. I enjoyed the interview with 2 friends.
I played Phil Ivey when he was new to the game and very young as well Barry (sorta)LOL. I don't know Phil Ivey as Phil i know him by his given name. I have much respect for Barry Greenstein & had the privilege of meeting him in Las Vegas in 2019 at the Rio and got to shake his hand. Barry Greenstein is definitely good for poker.
Bumped into Mr. Ivey during vacation years ago at Bellagio, LV on a Wed night, I believe he was on his way to the weekly 3k Buy-In game back then. He was in a big rush but still managed to speak briefly and took a picture with me before literally running off to the poker room. I followed and also saw Gus Hansen and Scotty Nguyen....What a night, and it was the ONLY picture I kept from that ancient phone...Been a fan for decades and counting...
That’s dope
His back and forth hand with Paul Jackson was just incredible. I never seen him discussed that hand ever.
There is, I've seen it keep searching
@lockoshamface Ive come across it, so you know it exists but Im not gonna search for it.
That he was wearing a Steve Francis jersey during the Moneymaker hand is great.
C’mon now Steve could ball.
@@nickmorton2354 I know. People don't talk about him like a legend though. That we'll see that jersey forever is awesome. He was playing in China with an icepack taped to his leg at the end.
@@eldiesel4593 you right...Stephon Marbury was is the same dude as well.
Watching the poker vids, training the game all while listening to music that makes me sharp and able to achieve. I like Delta Parole, AFi, etc as music, what you guys listen to focus I am curious?
He was just so far ahead of the game for a long time. Never really cared much to watch poker on tv unless he was playing.
Pretty crazy to think that nowadays Ivey is the soft spot in the toughest tables.
@@pierrearr Really? Is the game becoming more analytics or ?
@@tomrod1949 Nowadays people study the game with solvers such as piosolver. Old school pros just can't keep up.
@@pierrearr interesting, do I'm assuming people are playing far more optimally nowadays
@@tomrod1949 Indeed. The game has evolved to the point where I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. I was never interested in the math aspect of poker, only the logical problem solving and pattern recognition etc. To me using a solver would be like watching paint dry.
Genius man! all appreciation, all respect!
I really enjoyed this interview
The questions was phenomenal
And probably that what the poker players wanted to hear
Very interesting interview. Good job!
"I think poker should be legal everywhere". Thank you Phil. I live in Georgia and was heartbroken when it became illegal online. We got to fix this nonsense.
Land of the Free, home of the Brave. But no online poker. LOL.
I agree, it it healthier to process loss in that way, but it is not as easy as it sounds. It’s very easy to say that you want to have that mentality, but it is much more difficult to actually achieve it in the moment.
Oh. WOW.. the last 2 mins was best thing I've heard in awhile
The last part is golden , thx Phil the GOAT
Phil is truly the GOAT.
Phil Hellmuth is the goat
@@mattfrictiom90 Exactly.
Phil ivey is overrated
wtf lay down the crack... Jamie Gold is the undisputed goat
@@AWi1337 I back this statement. None better
What a thoughtful guy and a class act.
Is this available uncut somewhere? With no music? I am guessing not, so they can cut it and tease it out.
I’ve watched Ivey play since 2001 this is the most I have seen him speak in front of a camera
Phil doesn't seem like the most self-aware person. This and other interviews, I have seen people close to him keep saying they remember him differently than Phil does or they think felt a different way. I think Phil likes disagreeing with whatever people say he is like to seem in control of his self.
I totally love both of you guys! I’ve dealt to you both many times. Barry even more so. My dealing career began in 1988 downtown and I learned from the very best. I put my heart and soul into the game and implemented some rules to the game. You guys are both class acts! Barry toked my a $500 chip 2 weeks before Christmas at the Bellagio. Till this day, I still feel much gratitude. Sorry to hear about Doyle as well.
2 Legends right there....both are my fave players of all time.👊👊👊
Hearing him talk about that hand and break it down like that was awesome.
5:50. Chris Moneymaker winning was probably an overall +EV for Phil for sure. Never thought about it that way.
That's called "the long view"
What do you mean
I’m dumb can you explain to me, and why should he have folded that
@@xHevdog
It helped Ivey get better and more critical v winning and not getting as good as fast as he did. He "solved the game" better after and made more than he lost.
I think that's what op meant.
This content is fkn gold - pure gold
Amazing interview
If Ivey would have folded the 99 on the flop, I wouldn't be a professional poker player these days. I'm very thankful for his decision. It changed my life
Phil Ivey is a class act
“... at the time I didn’t understand NLH” wow
The more you learn about anything, the more you realize how little you know. If you look back at anything in your life from 17 years ago and don't realize you were a complete idiot with no understanding, it means you haven't grown or learned anything since, which is way worse. Your entire life, in all aspects is realizing how little you knew "back then"
As much as people know about NLHE now, nobody knew anything back then. Literally everyone sucked compared to even mediocre pros today.
Nowadays it seems like 9s go nowhere near the turn there with ICM considerations
@@keithmason1485 and whats so different now?
@@p__jay The game has been mathematically solved
Phil Ivey is the "Tiger Woods" of poker - I would love to see a program with both of them together playing golf and having a chat - that wd be great viewing and bring big ratings :)
Ivey is a legend, the one and only
the music doesn't add anything, only takes away my attention from what is being said
One of my favorite poker player of all time 🙂
great vids. music takes a mental toll after the second min tho
I love his perspective of the game, and how much the game was played off the cusp back then. Before it was “gamed” and “solved.” A lot like Garry Kasparov’s perspective on chess. Like you can’t go back and criticize poor play 20 years ago, before a lot of the new age strategies were developed.
3:00 Yes!! So good he agrees with this. I’m sick of seeing online sports betting in every TV ad, but I can’t play poker for money online in the US. Nuts! I also agree with his sentiment about rules for not abusing dealers.
I sometimes forget how far poker strategy has come since 2004. The best to ever do it putting his opponent on exactly AQ and calling to try and hit his 2 outer on the turn is pretty funny.
He did the right move
Good to see Barry!
The crazy thing is that Ivey losing that hand to Moneymaker probably made Ivey tens of millions of dollars more in the long run than he would have made had he won the hand.
From the streets of Jersey playing underage with the name “Jerome,” to being Phil Ivey the legend lol I couldn’t agree more! Make online poker legal in all 50 states. Especially now during this pandemic
The legend goes that he played so much poker at that time his nickname was No Home Jerome!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@jimaccordino6114 true story 😂😂
I could listen to Phil Ivey all day!
i apologise for this comment, but the background music...why?
Honestly, wtf is that shit
Knowing my favorite player suffered the bad beat of a lifetime is a consolatory feeling
I love and 100% agree with what Phil said he would change- Online, no sunglasses, and dealer abuse. Dealer abuse pisses me off. But yes I wholeheartedly agree with this it would make poker a lot better I think.
I agree with Phil. What happened in that moment was suppose to happen. Also think about the millions that Phil ended up winning because of the poker boom. If Moneymaker had not won the tournament would the poker boom have happened? That might not be a fair or correct question either. I think the poker boom would have happened, but with Moneymaker winning it happened a whole lot sooner. It was literally an over night boom once he won. The long term effect of it that all of the known and established poker professions benefitted from it was pretty significant.
omg until he spoke i had no idea that was Barry Greenstein omg he's changed so much i hope he isn't sick with cancer or something!
Ivey is the reason I started playing...watching him in da world series in that houston rockets jersey
ThAts so gay bro.
Totally agree with Ivey on not regretting past decisions. Put it like this, your past self was doing the best it could to make the correct decision in the moment, there are all sorts of mitigating factors that will play into the decision making process at the time, not least of which previous hands.... so there is no point being overly critical of ones decisions, you should instead try to learn from it, not regret or criticize yourself but work out how you may have been more or less objective in the moment. Often times you'll realise though there is nothing you could have done better, you have to be thinking about the situation playing out many times and not be results orientated. I am a trader and the exact same process is present on reflection of past trades. There is nothing wrong with analysing and working out how or if you could do better next time but never regret a decision you made, it just isn't constructive. It's overly critical to your past self and your mind is a sensitive construct it can just rebel if beaten up too much, which can lead to analysis paralysis. Would you criticize someone else for a decision they made that cost them dearly, probably not unless you're an unempathetic and highly critical person, and you should treat yourself with the same respect.
he might not be a theory endboss anymore but you can tell he is still a mindset endboss
Ivey is still the end boss
Thank you.
Love these
Fantastic clip
Great insight!
I love the stories of poker, but you could lower the background music maybe to about half of what it is. It really detracts for me listening to the players. Great stuff I'm going to look at the past stuff.
So many fish including me started playing after chris won. That was the best thing for these professional poker players. A sea of fresh fish
Good to see Barry Greenstein. I was like wait a minute, that's what's his name!
love barry and ivey so much. barry is suuuuch a nice guy !!!
