Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey is a degenerate craps player.  Don't believe anything you read about the BS he pitches in the magazines like he has some "mystical" understanding of the game.  My boy managed the cashier's cage at the Venetian in 2009, and Phil lost more than $10M at the tables this year.

Big Game

One of the hardest moments in my poker career was to see your Poker "heroes" for who they really are as people.  A bunch of two bit hustlers.  In the Big Game in Vegas, these guys play in two groups on mutual bankrolls against Larry Flynt.  We had to raise up the table to fit Larry's wheel chair underneath so he could play.  He is a just a rich old billionaire looking for some action.  At the end of the night, all the money that Larry lost gets divided up between the two groups and redistributed amongst themselves.  It is one of the most pathetic things I had seen.
