At the end of October 2012, Phil Ivey announced his plans to launch a new website, IveyPoker.com, dedicated to teaching people how to play poker the "right way."

By buying this as a foundation he is saving time and also money because the mechanics of video production are covered. This move implies that Phil has a smart business team at work with a firm plan. This is very encouraging especially in light of the epic mis-management of FullTilt which means that professionals are needed for the business end of poker. 02-11-2013 13:25 flintsword "The lucky player is usually the player that knows how much to leave to chance." www.myspace.com/flintsword
