Message: [QUOTE="-Phil Ivey27, post: 1840499, member: 19294"] So Dwan, Mercier, and Lamb are right behind Ivey because they've had one or two good years? Strong tournament placings? Mind you Ivey had disappeared from the game for awhile due to Black Friday and continued his assassination of the game and it's players when he came back. The only one who you could put in that class is Tom Dwan if you would really like to make an argument, and even he has to win some bracelets and do this for years before he's considered in the league of Ivey. If you would like to see what Ivey thinks of Mercier's great skill btw.. Check out High Stakes Poker when Mercier trys to pull a bluff with his respective $200,000 stack, that I respect a lot btw, on Ivey and it takes him no longer than a minute to make the call with a mediocre hand. P.S. if you really wonder why he is feared and respected, try [B]not[/B] fearing or respecting the man and see how your play works out against him. Seriously, I dare you. Dwan had his own near heart attack confrontation with Ivey when he pulled off one of the biggest bluffs ever on High Stakes Poker, and as he bets near $270,000 on the river of a $350,000 or so pot (making it $620,000 or so) against him Ivey sits there for near 5 minutes contemplating what would be the most brilliant call of all time with a pair of 6's on a board with K J 10 2 6. He ends up mucking, but even the fact he was thinking so hard is brilliant to us all. If you want to give anyone the title of greatest poker player, or [B]even[/B] the greatest NLHE poker player in the world, they'll have to take it from Ivey first. He'll play them anytime and anywhere, his preference at least $50,000/$100,000 blinds, be sure to bring your piggy bank. [/QUOTE]
