Phil Ivey mucks his flush, he didn't realize he had a flush he mucked to Aces up. Lost just over 1M chips because of it.

    ouch

    It happens to me a lot on-line too.

    Meh . . . probably just an elaborate trap for November. :D

    I've done this a couple times live, feel a lot better now knowing that Ivey's done it too lol

    Wow, even the best player in the world can make a beginner mistake and neglect to quickly check his cards one last time before mucking them. He misread his hand, he had the wrong read on Smith, and he seemed oblivious that there was a four-flush board, steaming about the Ace on the river that was actually good for him.

    I'm telling you, Lon, it's a set-up. Wait until November, you'll see . . . :D

    Wow... that sucks. Maybe that will teach him to go days without sleeping.

    I saw a bit of a eye brow raise towards the end of that video...you think he realized what he did after the fact.....

    The read on his facial expression after the hand was mucked looked like he was trying to recount his hand and if indeed he had the 8s or 8c....

    This was also weird for Ivey to call a 3bet in position then check the turn after. I would have assumed that the check on the turn would have been a flood gate for him to bet. Maybe he didn't want to get bluffed out of the pot, but at the same time he must have had an idea that he was either way ahead or way behind with the check on the turn. With 2M in the pot it would be ok IMO to fire out 750K...

    lol at this being spread like wild fire, like it is not the 1st time he has folded the best hand
  • blackmagiczblackmagicz
    I guess the shock is when the other hand is opened and he looks and then folds, that is what gets me.....I would be trying to draw a spade on my card with a pen at that point.....

    I'm telling . . . aaaaah fuck it, you know the rest. :D





    Seriously, though, what's the line? A player who never gets bluffed is never going to be a winner, or some such.

    Caveat - have not watched the clip.

    There was no bluff Milo. Villian had A,9 and caught the As on the river which made Ivey (8,8 ) a flush to his 8s. Villian turned over his hand showing A and Ivey mucked without showing. It looks like he realized seconds later that he had a flush.
    Rookie mistake imo.. Never would do that myself... :)

    In that case, please see my first post in this thread. Or even my second.

    Ivey wins the Main Event this year, and he will credit THIS hand for embarassing him enough to focus the awesome poker mind that sits above his cerebral cortex on NOTHING but poker in the weeks leading up to the Final Table.

    I would hope so,
    But Darvin moon is running better than Usain Bolt.
  • MiloMilo
    So, if I read your post right, you're saying Moon lasts less than 10 seconds before he's done? What's he going to do, fold pre-deal?




    Of course, against Ivey, that might be a plan. . .

    I feel like a complete idiot at this point I have no proper response. Though I had a great laugh with my buddies when they read your reply about "fold pre-deal". Haha, I fold in the dark.

    Wow, I feel better about the truly awful blunders I've made!

    Many of my sessions I've made terrible calls and raises, I sometimes think, "If I can no do any catastrophic blunders, I'll be good."
