Most of you already know this, but please don't look at the best online poker player of all-time who's put in ungodly amounts of hours studying the game at an extremely high level where there's a lot of grey area and conceptualization, and think "I can go from $50 - 10M too!".
Phil galfond didn’t put in lot of hrs of study. He taught people how to play poker wrong and was Terrble at Texas Holdem just like to dwan. They were bum hunters that went broke when they faced good online players
17:30 this is why i enjoy 5 card PLO. with holdem being mostly a solved game and PLO further along that road than it's ever been, adding in a 5th card changes the game radically enough that it's got more of that wild west feel that Phil is talking about. 5 card PLO is also exploding in popularity in online poker as we speak. It's the game I will be focusing most if not all of my attention on for the foreseeable future as the edges are currently large there and should remain that way for at least a few years.
@@Rags2RichesPoker Live PLO5? That's awesome! I hope that starts picking up in America. I see your profile picture, Suprema is where I grind 5 card for now, and I mix in several other smaller sites too. Good luck at the tables!
@twistedspine7300 last night I played live PLO5 short deck 😆, these guys are crazy gamblers but it's a really awesome game! You can have alot of edge over other players because nobody knows the math.
Btw Colin, you should advice new players to not even consider playing more than the minimum of the lowest table posible out there until they have that amount times 1000
Hi! Loving your videos as a new parent currently on leave. For blackjack, what table rule set would you suggest practicing first(e.g., H17 vs S17)? What are your preferred table rules? Thanks! Ph.D. in the northeast looking for a nice side hustle that could include travel!
Hi im new to blackjack like i have only played games on app store since few weeks , never in a casino and i dont know what is 1 deck double deck and im interested in joining your academy and im a little confused about these types of poker secondly closest casino to my place is 2 hours away so i cant really practice there any advise...? Thanks
You're going to need to be okay with travel if you wanted to get the max benefit from joining BJA. You can practice plenty at home, learn the basics, etc. But to get the value and profits from the training you'll have to travel to many casinos.
I haven't completely ruled out learning to play poker but I have put so much time and effort into perfecting blackjack that I'll only learn poker if I get banned from every blackjack table within a 3 province vicinity
absolutely not a sole cares what you do, go back and watch this video you may see it is not all about you and blackjack. Also the fact taht you play a game where there is aalways a house advantage unless you're counting cards at a high level (which you are not) then you are now and will always be a losing payer which does benefit the casino so by all means please keeep doing waht you're doing and keep believing you're smarter tahn those really dumb brlliant mathematicians who devised blackjack
@slowery43 I don't know what you're ranting about but I AM counting cards "at a high level" and have beaten casinos for $12K so far in about 400 hours of play. I have been counter measured in 2 places close to me, and I only have one close place left. If I burn that place out too, it's poker time.
Phil Galfond’s rise from $50 to $10M is the perfect example of what smart strategy and discipline can achieve! 🎯 At Space Fortuna, we always stress that knowledge and patience are key to big wins. Truly an inspiring journey!
I started playing poker went from $3.42 to $1250 from playing micro stakes then jumped to small stakes lost all of it Do to it scamming me it was not variance the site would no longer let me win stay away from online poker
How can a poker website scam you if your playing verse other humans? Or you think the provider you were using had bots in their games?? Didn’t think there was a way to rig poker lol
He did say that but he definitely misspoke and knows that not all of the games have been solved. I believe only heads up limit hold em has been solved.
Well sure he misspoke BUT I think it's still acceptable to simplify and call 6-max for instance solved for the intents of this conversation, when it's close enough to "solved" that no human could possibly compete with a "perfect" bot applying as close to GTO as it can. Chess for instance is not solved but we've reached a point where there is no world in which any human would face Stockfish for cash.
Anybody that saw the final table of the 2024 WSOP Main Event knows what a joke the game has become and how heavily reliant players have become on solvers. We have lost the great characters of the game who depended on their skills and abilities to read people.
Yup, most people are buried on their phones just playing their cards and position. All it takes now is money because it's all rebuys which is why these guys will probably never win the main event. A freeze out doesn't work for them.. it makes them like everybody else
Hey question why do they say 3 to 2 pay on bj instead of ,150% payout or 1.5x payout. 150% seems more pleasing in advertising to an average person than 3 to 2
Fedor is not good at poker he cheats used rta vs limitless he’s complete fish in cash games. It’s why he played mtts he was losing player in cash games and galfond gas lights him up like he’s poker god. Anyone can get lucky and bink mtts in short period of time. I have friend who is awful mass table mtts won 300 k the first year last years years down over 400k causes he’s bad. Fedor is bad and so is galfond it’s why they quit
I was going to try and respond but then the last sentence gave it away. I rate this troll maybe 4/10, strong start, weak finish. More subtlety next time!
Phil is such a good rep for the community. Always level headed and realistic. Also his voice is really calm and soothing

"I can't here you!, LALALALALA!"
Berri sweet is the best poker player of all time, not Galfond

Agreed. Too many bots online to climb through the stakes but live PLO5 is taking over in Brazil and my winrates are totally insane

Something different. I like it.
What do you think about Cac2, they are saying its 10-13% better than Hi-Lo
Phil, please interview Colin.

H17 is the most common game you'll find so it's a good place to start.
Great channel
If you can get Phil Ivey next holy crap that would be insane
Then Helmuth? And have a Phil extravaganza?

There is no way you could repeat that online today, too many bots.

Phil is amazing, this interviewer is weak sauce. He doesn't have a clue as to how to ask questions rather he makes a a statement.
When the camera is so HD you can see his freckles...we've gone too far.
