Poker is a game where the winner takes it all and one of them will lose it all. People shouldn't be playing it with all their money they've got, what's fun about that?
Yes, Ivey is the player to avoid if you're a gambler player. If you are Benyamine it's ok, no matter how much money you have... but youreally should avoid playing Ivey in high stakes cash games.

Well if your going up against anyone would you choose Phil Ivey????? I know i wouldn't... But when you rate your self that highly to play in high stakes games surly that is the price you pay! If you have the Dollar to put up and play then you have the right to walk away and by the sounds of it he should have walked away long ago....
lol that happens when you get frustriated and do not go out of the table =) omg losing nearly half a million us dollars ,, some people work 10 years or more to earn so much money and he spends it on beein frustiated =) crazy world =)

Playing against Ivey with such buyin, no wonder he was hit this hard. Will surely take some time to come out of tilt, lol But i guess he will surely remember this for life and not make this mistake again.
oh now when i see it i lought a bit because i was lucking at a 10/20 € table at virgin-poker where a gay had 1000 € and beated another won with 500 € ( he always rebuyed 500! ) 13 times =) till he had i think round 7200 or somethink =) after that the one bought in 5000 and in the first hand they went all in the one with 7500 with AA and the other with K K and so he lost it all again =) that was how the luck can turn sometimes =)
Haha man this is hard, won a real real lot of money and lose it all against Ivey He is one of the best players, so people shouldn't deal with him untuil they are real good enough^^
... DIN_FRU = YOUR_WIFE in english .
