Phil Ivey's Tells

So I was watching some poker tourney on TV the other day with my old man. He's been playing since the stone age so I have a pretty high respect for what he can do at a table. Anyway, Phil Ivey was playing against John D'Agostino heads-up and all the announcers kept talking about was how Ivey has absolutely no tells whatsoever. Now I'm mostly an online player so my recognition of tells isn't highly trained, but my Dad insisted that he has a blatant tell that apparently nobody can pick up on. I'm curious to see if anyone else here has picked up on it. I watched for it, and I'd say about 3/4 of the time my dad was right.

Any takers?

PS. I know there are a million Ivey fans on this bboard, so don't crucify me for posting this. I'm just curious if anyone else has notived any flaw like this in his game.

And be being one of them. I'll crucify you first....

Just kidding. I had a post about Ivey a few days ago about the same tournament and you're right about the announcers saying Ivey has no sign of tells. Watching Ivey alot in TV tournaments... I think Ivey's only showed tell is when he tries to bluff at a pot... he does something with his mouth. I don't know if its a yawn or a stretch... I don't know but 5 out of 5 times he was bluffing at a pot, he did that.

But no more, Ivey bashing... or Im'ma coming after you! j/k.

I'll have to watch for that next time - never noticed.

Yes! He does this thing with his Adam's apple when he has a monster hand and when he bluffs he does that little bounce thing with his leg. He does that bounce a lot, but I think it is a little more prominent when he is trying to buy one.
