Phil Ivey joins MasterClass to share his poker knowledge

Phil Ivey follows in the footsteps of Daniel Negreanu and creates a poker Masterclass course to share his secrets with the world. If you don't know, MasterClass is an American online education platform. Students can access tutorials and lectures pre-recorded by experts in various fields. The concept was conceived by David Rogier and Aaron Rasmussen.

Many would argue that Phil Ivey is the best all-around poker player in the world. At the age of 42 he has 10 WSOP bracelets and over $26 million in total live earnings, putting him 12th in the all-time money list.

MasterClass wrote on their twitter:
"Known for his enigmatic table presence, our newest instructor is considered the best all-around poker player in the world. Now he’s opening up about how he thinks. Introducing @philivey’s #MasterClass on Poker Strategy: https://mstr.cl/2WgUrm7"

What is really schocking though is that Ivey is known for being a very private individual, without much liking to share his skill. Unlike other pros during the boom years, he was not open to interviews and didn’t seem interested in having more TV time than what he was contractually obligated to have.

“I come from a generation where the good players knew that talking about a hand and helping someone to improve was a big no-no.”
So why he changed his mind now? Nobody knows.

The $90 course list includes:
Phil’s Journey
Preflop and Blind Defense
Betting Tactics
Bluffing
Postflop, Part 1 & 2
Deepstack Play
The Mental Game
Table Image and Tells
Phil’s Strategies for Success

"So why he changed his mind now? Nobody knows."

lol what kind of a question is this, we all know him, the obvious answer is MONEY
he tells some general bullshit and gets like half the paid price per person. It's called milking the fish.

if someone truly wants to learn the game, he will find the online forums to do so. Or from $90 you can buy 4 good pokers books to start

will be a lot less cringy than dnegs, but yeah the game has passed him by, no solver study is ancient by todays standards

the game passed him by many years before solvers
