I just read a really interesting interview about Phil Ivey at: http://www.ebmpublishing.com. The interview was very well written and really showed his (Phil) humility. Great article!

As a fellow Brit, I can tell you that ‘lost the plot’ just means, ‘doesn’t know what he’s doing’.

You’ll have to forgive Steve H … he’s a Brit who talks funny and writes even funnier. I think he’s implying that one guy is on his way out.

I know this is a (semi) old post and not to be naive, but what does the phrase “lost the plot” mean?

In reference to Hall’s reference about Jack losing the plot:

Every tournament at the Five Star World Poker Classic at the Bellagio (March 30-April 24) is a 1k rebuy event (mostly NL Holdem, with the rest PLO), except for the $25,000 WPT World Championship. Even the supersatellites and nightly tournaments are rebuy events.

I’m not following Kevin … where do the rebuys fit in?

The most recent example of Jack losing the plot:

April’s Bellagio series currently consists of 18 rebuy events and the $25,000 WPT World Championship.

i haven’t been yet, steve … but i hear there is no special tournament space. perhaps there’s a special room somewhere, a la fontana, that will serve that purpose? i’ll see if i can’t find out sometime before february-ish.

interesting insight about the personnel. think you might be on to something.

Any space for tournament action there?.Poker room manager Adam was part of the Bellagio tournament staff for years and it seems Jack at the Bellagio has lost the plot.
