Online Poker Players Slam Phil Ivey

Are online poker players going on a witch hunt against a virtual enemy or are their complaints justified? A mysterious new online player has appeared at PokerStars using the name RaiseOnce and many are convinced that he’s the one and only Phil Ivey due to their similar playing styles. However, beyond the question of who this anonymous player is, many are criticizing Ivey (if it is him, of course) of switching from Full Tilt to Poker Stars after he made a big scene about not playing again until Full Tilt players were paid back the money owed to them. As one angry poster put it: “People have every right to be angry over Ivey playing. The specifics of who knew what are far from certain, but many people lost life-altering money at that damn site.”
