Phil Ivey Confirms He Writes His Own Tweets, Poker Pros Share Funny Stories


Phil Ivey confirmed that he personally writes his tweets, ending speculation about his social media activity. In a tweet from January 20, he mentioned, "I only just figured out how to tweet myself, lol." He also shared details about a bet he made with a friend to avoid sugar and carbohydrates for a month, stating, "Concluded a bet with a friend that I would go a month without sugar and carbs. Four days in and I'm starving."

Norman Chad proposed a bet to Phil Ivey involving a game of HORSE. Chad tweeted, "Hey Phil, how about a 3-hour HORSE heads-up? If I win, you take me on TeamIvey, and if you win, I join Greenpeace and never bother your hair again."

Aarron Jones sold LeggoPoker to Phil Ivey's team. In a blog post titled "The Future of Leggo," Jones announced the sale and revealed that LeggoPoker will be rebranded as Ivey League. He mentioned that the new platform will focus on teaching live tournaments, PLO, and mixed games, with resources from TeamIvey. Jones also shared that he will regularly update the blog with development progress and take reader suggestions.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
