Happy 32nd birthday to poker pro Phil Ivey. Often he is described as the Tiger Woods of poker but I think that comparison is unfair to both Ivey and Woods. With the death of Chip Reese - Ivey is perhaps the best cash game player in the world. He's a solid player who knows the odds but who is often unpredictable - that makes him dangerous at the felt. I root for Ivey if for no other reason than he's a quiet professional which has sadly become the exception instead of the norm in a poker world of Phil Hellmuth's, Mike Matasow's and Humberto Brenes'.
