He's positive it was Ivey - his screen name was PhilPokerIveyForReal.

Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

I don't understand the fascination with Walters, he doesn't reveal his sides, even if you think you know, you could be wrong. So what if he makes a fortune or loses his ass - either way it won't affect me. I guess the image that it's possible to make big money gambling gives 99% of the rest of us hope, but that hope is nothing but a dream IMO.

its easy to say who you had after the game. walters is a fraud.
 
Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

Ivey doesn't play at bellagio anymore I don't think, Aria opened "Ivey's Room" think him and Dwan strictly play there now
 
Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

that conversation looks really fake. When PI types in the FT chat when playing he's real short on his sentences and never capitalizes anything. Bellagio is like dead because of Aria, that's where everyone plays now.

Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

it's hilarious someone went to all that trouble to say they talk to Phil Ivey :LMAO


Static is trying to act like he's a player.... after he's admitted he stiffed people while trying to be a bookie. He thinks that if someone thinks he knows Phil Ivey then maybe they'll think he's a bigshot. The fact that he's only 'chatted' with 'Phil Ivey' makes nost posters on this site think he's an even bigger loser is beyond his comprehension. And the fact that he gave up Phil's Aim addy, if it is Phil's, only serves to make him look like a bigger douche.


And as far as that 'chat' goes...:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO
 
Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

At least in this Phil Ivey fantasy you have going make sure he's even in the country at the time of your conversation. From what I read, he's in Australia at the Aussie Millions. For the record, that means he is 19hrs AHEAD of Vegas time.
 
Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

the key to me is static thinking phil wants 1g an hour to teach and will post his price online....as soon as u mentioned billy e would have shut down the convo
 
Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

also he admits he doesnt have 1k to pay him...doesnt static call himself sharp?
if it isnt real its sad
if its real its sadder

Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

What I really liked in the 'chat' he posted were a couple of gems:



PhilIveyFTPoker (4:51:46 PM): Rio casino is for poker bums. I only play at the Bellagio.
Staticlvruss (4:52:01 PM): why only there?
PhilIveyFTPoker (4:52:18 PM): They pay for quarter of my play and for my car


So the Bellagio is backing Phil and paying his car payment to play there..:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO:LMAO


PhilIveyFTPoker (4:59:55 PM): I don't talk about my gabling relationships. Poker is my life.


Alrighty then... everyone that actually believes that Phil Ivey said "Poker is my life" please raise your right hand. No one? That's what I thought.


But Static saved the best for last:


Staticlvruss (5:00:23 PM): omg wishing I had skill to do that to
PhilIveyFTPoker (5:01:06 PM): I could teach you more online but the info is too valuable
PhilIveyFTPoker (5:01:19 PM): It's worth too much money

Staticlvruss (5:04:06 PM): Deal. I did hear Billy Walters is a secret man


Phil's giving private lessons for $1000 an hour but he wants it sent to a friends PayPal account.

Static begging for a freebie and getting shut down

And finally saying ' I did hear Billy Walters is a secret man' less than a week after BW was on 60 Minutes.... yep, ole BW is low profile.


Static,

When the end of 2011 rolls around I'm going to nominate you for Comedy Post of the Year at the EOG... nice imagination. :btj:

every book would pay bw a reasonable fee for his honest real life lines.
before don best, every book wanted his beards so you would have sharp lines
against other syndicates.
he's the best, but, true to life he is not a decent human being. imagine him on a jury.
highest bidder gets his verdict. same as if he was in congress. way to driven by
money. the show did say he supported some charities, however,

Re: Maybe I am the only one who says Bill Walters is over rated?

That's putting the whole thread in a nutshell, thanks.12io4j2w90

Thanks Muns, appreciate that.

I think a lot of times people confuse 'greatness' with press coverage. Also, when people say a person or athlete is 'overrated' that is supposed to be a knock on that player's talent, when in reality, it should be a knock on the reporters and general public who treat that person as a god.

By definition, a player for the Yankees or Red Sox is going to be 'overrated' and a player for the Royals or Pirates is going to be 'underrated'. This 'rating' system is just media hype and general public not giving the 'smaller market' people (for lack of bettor words) enough credit for being really good at what they do also.

Walters might not be good at actual nuts and bolts old fashioned handicapping and if you took away all his spreadsheets and employees, he might get destroyed. So, in the true handicapping sense, he's probably JAG (just another guy). What Walters is great at is finding a way to take just a normal guy's handicapping talent and turn it into a computer large money empire. So, while he's overrated as a nuts and bolts guy, he's incredibly underrated as a guy who isnt a phenominal handicapper who has found a way to be the most feared man in sportsbetting.
