For Christsakes, Phil Ivey, will you please call me on the phone? Or text me. Or email. Or facebook. (Are these even verbs?) Or have one of our hundred common acquaintances get us together. Shauna and I are putting together the four-part “Looking for Ivey” series that will appear in this blog the next four Sundays and it’s a real chore when I have no recent input from The Man.
It’s like I’m chasing a ghost, and that’s dangerous. By dangerous, I’m talking about the danger that I’ll look like a jackass if I don’t get it right.

Congratulations to Mike Sexton on the announcement of his induction to into the Poker Hall of Fame. Sexton is a worthy choice to become the thirty eighth member of the Hall of Fame. He was one of the top performers in the “early days” of tournament poker (late 1980s and early 1990s), he has a World Series bracelet, he has won the Tournament of Champions, and he has cashed a zillion times in the World Series going back to time immemorial.

Just like last year, Jo Anne and I will be closely involved in the Scottsdale Relay for Life, a charity of the American Cancer Society. The Scottsdale Relay will be April 10, 2010 at Saguaro High School. We will meet from 6pm until 6am the next morning and walk around the Saguaro track, raising money to stop cancer and to remind people that cancer never sleeps.

During the past few weeks, I’ve told you two of my favorite Phil Ivey stories. In “Kings and Queens of Europe,” I described the effect Phil Ivey’s intensity could have on people, even in a crowded tapas bar. And in “You Own Ivey,” I shared with you the time I owned 10% of Ivey in the Main Event. All it cost me was a AAA battery. Unfortunately, even though Phil has had four Main Event finishes in the top thirty, 2006 was not one of them.

The final video question presented to me by the guys at ThePotKings.com concerned a hand at the final table when I was dealt pocket deuces. I thought I’d reprint my answer here, in hopes it will spur some creative thinking about the issue of how to play small pairs.

This is what I posted on ThePotKings.com’s forum in response to a fifth hand they chose for a video from my hand history of the private tournament I won. It raises a great and rarely considered tactical question: When you raise and get called by one of the blinds, what do you do when they lead out with a bet after the flop?

As I mentioned in #861, I played in a private online tournament with the gang from ThePotKings.com and agreed to turn over my hand history from the tournament (which I won) and answer questions. Their head guy, Dom, posted six videos of hands on the site and I’m working my way through my responses. I posted my responses to the first two videos in #861, two hands concerning how to play when you lead the betting and hit a great flop.

Who doesn’t wish they could have a piece of Phil Ivey’s action? Full Tilt is offering you all a chance for a piece of Phil Ivey’s Main Event money in their new promotion, charmingly titled “Piece of Ivey.” Of course, because I’m Mr. Insider, these kinds of opportunities come to me all the time. In fact, I’ve already had a piece of Phil Ivey’s Main Event action.

I made it into the money with a lot of chips and then lost most of them when I ran pocket queens into pocket kings. But I stayed patient, was opportunistic, and rebuilt. Once again, the experience reminded me about what I love about playing tournament poker online. I enjoy the mental challenge, of having skills and using them, of not necessarily having everything go right but staying in the hunt, scheming and slugging away.
