So, my question, could Phil Ivey of used the same technique to know what cards other poker players had ?

 

I dont know if I completely understand what he was doing, but if it was what I think it was, I dont think he would have been able to see the backs of most of the cards clear enough to determine what they are. When they are pitched, they are usually collected by the players instantly and stacked on top of each other, so he would really only get a good look at the top one. Im also guessing unless he has the best vision in the world, he would be too far away from most players to even be able to accurately see what they were. But then again Im not even 100% on what he was doing, so who knows
