Phil Ivey – “You Have To Be Careful With Who You Become Friends With.”

Ivey talks about his inner circle in the world of high stakes.

In an obvious effort to get more traction here on the monster website that is F5, Bluff Magazine has released part 3 of their stand-up interview with poker great Phil Ivey. In this clip Bluff video producer Thomas Keeling talks to Ivey about who he considers his real friends in poker and how close to the vest is he with those he plays against.

Ivey claims to like most of his fellow high-stakes competitors but he likes to keep them at a distance as not to feel responsible for them with negative variance comes calling for them. He calls it “cordial” for the most part but is always wary of who he chooses to schmooze with.
