Implicating Phil Ivey's Style.

I've been watching a lot of video footage lately of Phil Ivey nbsp;and studying his style of play. He is unquestionably one of the worlds greatest players, and I have learn a lot from watching him. Here's somethings that I've noticed about his particular style.

1. He never approaches a table with a game plan. He watches the table thoroughly and adjusts his play to the table. This allows him to manipulate the agressive players and the passive players.
2. He plays J3 the same way he plays pocket Aces. This keeps his opponents guessing as to exactly what he has.
3. When he catches a good hand and connects with it, he knows how to maximize his profit and get the most out of it. This is hard to do, but once one masters it, it's greatly to their advantage.
4. He uses his position to his advantage, and because he's so agressive preflop and post flop, it's hard to tell when he's bluffing. This is absolute power at the table.

So what have I learned from watching him? I've learned to how to mix up my game play, how to utilize maximum profit from the hands that I'm involved in and how to better understand my agression factor and how to use it to my advantage.

So as you can see when your in study mode, which is important even for an advanced player, sometimes going back and watching someone with more skill can help you out. I know I definetly learned a lot from watching him.

Gl at the tables.
