First time I saw a poker game was in a barber shop when I was
8-years-old.
And I asked my grandfather--
I said, what were they doing?
He said, they were playing poker.
I was hooked ever since.

Ivey shoves the river.
Got a trick or two up his sleeve.
Very intimidating glare and a little smirk.
Welcome to Ivey's world.

You'd just love to get inside his head for five minutes.

To Paul Jackson, he has a very famous hand in poker.
I had queen, 8, he had 5, 6, and the flop was jack, jack, 7.
And I bet.
He raised me.
I re-raised him.
Both guys with nothing.
Key point was when I asked him how much chips he had.
$360.
The way he answered it made me pretty confident he
didn't have anything.
All in.
What?
It's just mind-blowing what we just witnessed from Phil Ivey.
I come from a generation where the good players
knew talking about a hand or helping someone to improve
was a big no-no.
But maybe it's time that I share my keys for success.
I'm Phil Ivey, and this is my MasterClass.
