Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1645267, member: 40397"] LOL, I think you have a lot to learn about Ivey and pro cash players in general. He has a piece of FT, and as a poker player and a business man, he gets paid a ton of money to promote the site. He's on TV primarily for that reason -- as has been said, he really dislikes publicity. But he has obligations. You do realize that more money is made in cash games than tournaments, right? Many cash players go to the big tournaments FOR the cash action, not the tournament games. Ivey is a cash player first and foremost. While he's an excellent all-around player who does very well in tournaments too, he'd be the first to tell you that's not his preference. Believe what you will, but many pros have said, including Negreanu, that if it weren't for bracelet bets, Ivey wouldn't attend the WSOP. It's not worth his time. I think Patrick Antonious has been quoted as feeling the same way (that it's not worth PA's time either). [/QUOTE]
