  • What does it take to stay at the top of the poker world while navigating family life and personal hardships? Phil and Farah Galfond offer a rare behind-the-scenes look into the lives of poker’s power couple in their new poker docuseries.
    🎁 Phil's free e-book & weekly poker strategy: ➡️ galfond.link/subscribe
    In the first episode of their poker documentary series, personal friends of the Galfonds and professional poker players explain the origin story of Phil Galfond, also known as 'OMGClayAiken''.
    Through interviews with family, friends, and Phil himself, this documentary provides clarity on a variety of questions like (but not limited to); how Phil Galfond started playing poker professionally, the origin of the companies Run it Once Poker and Run it Once Training, where the Galfond Challenge came from as well as how it affected him personally, and even how Phil and Farah Galfond met.
    In weekly episodes, people who know Phil personally like Andrew Robl, Jason Koon, Brian Rast, Matt Berkey, Nick Schulman, Maria Ho, Elliot Roe, Farah Galfond, David Tuchman, Joe Stapleton, Dan Quinn, Jason Senti, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Landon Tice share insights and highlights from their time spent with and around Phil through the years.
    Whether it’s the reality of playing poker at the highest level against the best poker players in the world, operating a poker training / poker coaching site and an online poker site, or facing tough personal loss and finding the ability to triumph, this docuseries aims to highlight the emotional rollercoaster you may be faced within a non-traditional career path like playing professional poker.
    In every poker related video on this channel, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.
    It doesn’t matter whether you’re a new or beginner poker player (or even a full time poker coach!)
    Do you need the best Texas Hold ‘em poker strategy and top tier Pot Limit Omaha tips?
    Do you have a high stakes poker story question that you’d like to hear from the POV of a poker professional who was THERE?
    Leave a comment and your question might end up in the next one of Phil’s quick poker tips videos or inspiring one of his high stakes poker story clips!

    Happy for you Phil. So glad you have Farah. I was a Pro Poker Player and Sports Handicapper/Consultant lived in Summerlin near Red Rock Casino in Vegas for 15 years (2005-2020), My partner Sara was with me for about 8 of those years. She had bipolar disorder and she unfortunately died by suicide when I went away one weekend by July 4th to visit my parents in Laguna Beach. The love of my life was gone. She never could handle my unique lifestyle gambling, my crazy hours always focused on the games, it was a huge stressor, even though it paid for all our bills and much much more. I miss her every day and wonder what would have been different had I not been focused on the gambling all day everyday 7 days a week. I am so glad you have this support system, including your parents. It is so important. Again, so happy for your success and happiness man. I left Vegas when Covid hit, I felt it was time for some changes. I will be watching your episodes from a bit north now in Lake Tahoe.
