First off welcome to Cardschat, looks like you're all new here.

You might want to read a bit more of the thread though.  Whether Ivey was "cheating" or not really depends on your definition of the word cheating, but it's all but confirmed that he and his companion were edge sorting during their game.

That's a form of advantage play, which casinos frown upon in the same way that they frown upon card counting in blackjack.  And by "frown upon", I mean "something they'll kick you out for, possibly without your winnings".

So I'll ask the question: forget, for a moment, that Ivey was playing a game that most people don't seem to understand, and using an advantage play method that most people don't understand.  And forget that this case has all kinds of weird about it on both Ivey's side and the casino's side.  [b]If, instead, Ivey was found card counting in a blackjack game, would your 'Ivey is awesome, pay the man his money' reaction still be the same?!?[/b]
