Phil Ivey gets peeved at me.
I’m walking through the Bellagio this past Friday and I get to one of the main intersections. It’s like an old-time Hollywood and Vine for craps and BJ players, a bunch of bigger games are situated there, near the main cage and the safe boxes. It is a good place to be seen playing if that is what you are into

And maybe I did offend him.
Well, tough.
He and I have talked only a short amount, less than two hours all together, but a big part of what we have talked about was how to get positive EV. The discussion was mainly about trading and life and not poker, but it was clear that Phil had a great grasp of how to get the best of it.
When I perceived him so emotionally and negatively involved in craps, I just spoke up. Perhaps I was wrong to do that. On the other hand, if a friend of mine was tilting at poker, I'd be inclined to try and give some support there, in some way. Phil Ivey wasn't more than a chatting acquaintance to me, but after our talk of expected value in gaming and life I didn't want to say nothing, either.
I can't help thinking that he WAS getting positive EV by playing, just in some way which I am unaware.
Regardless, I am pretty sure Phil had forgotten me and the incident very shortly after. It was almost nothing.
And if I hadn't said something, I would be regretting that now, on some level.
So I am glad I spoke.
And thank you for your response.
