This is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent poker players / poker videos I have ever seen. No hype whatsoever and it was so god damn refreshing. Phil, my request is, could you please put out a video for some of the more advanced things you'd like to share to say someone with 20+ years of experience. I'd be nice to get that from one of the best on the planet and you seem honest enough to actually do it lol Thank you brother.
Wow. Very kind words, Edison. Thank you so much. I'm going to keep trying out different kinds of content. I generally view the channel as a place for less advanced content (don't want it to sound like nonsense to 90% of viewers) but I will test out some more advanced stuff.
@@PhilGalfond Hey Phil. You're very welcome. And yes of course that makes sense that you'd want to appeal to the masses. And with all due respect, I'm more like in the top 2 or 3 percent lol Just a matter of time before I climb that mountain I "should" have freakin tried to climb 7 years ago when I had the chance. I think you're probably one of the top 10 poker players in the world and I'm absolutely dying to join you. I'm gonna be at the WSOP on the 10th of Nov playing my fave game, stud hi/lo and then the rest of the lower n;l tournies. If you do have some advanced, advanced advice, just for me, I'd love to hear it lol Thank you so much again Phil.
Top 5 Poker Mistakes 1. Not thinking about why you are doing what you are doing. 2. Not thinking about why your opponent doing what he is doing. 3. Making decisions out of emotion: COMFORT is number one! 4. Playing outside of ones means. 5. Caring too much what other people think of you and playing to that.
Thank you! I was worried that my slower, more thoughtful style of speaking wouldn't work well on RUclips, which is why I didn't start a channel much sooner. I'm glad to hear you like me the way I am :)
Maaannn great stuff! The emotion stuff is so on point, I think alot of people also don't realize that it doesn't always associate directly with an emotion. Meaning for instance you don't need to feel "mad" at the current moment to make a decision out of anger. Also sometimes it takes a long time for the emotion to buildup before it even becomes an issue. ( which so happens to be my biggest problem lol) I notice this series isn't too specific or narrow like say a "cbetting OOP in PLO" would be, so I chose to ask if in the near future you could make a video about dealing with accumulated emotion? You could use your battle vs veni as an example. How making the right decisions and not being rewarded over a extended period of time can affect your future decisions without have any immediate emotional responses. Hopefully you get what i am trying to say. Anyway great stuff as always! Now I'm going to go watch an oldie where you explain how to fold a set in nlh lol
Excellent points and thoughts! And thank you so much for the kind words. I'll do some thinking about the topic you suggest. I don't know that I have all the answers, but I have dealt with it many times, and the veni match is a great example. I need to figure out how to create something out of that.
I just recently subscribed, and this content is exactly what I needed. I recently focused on mental aspects of the game and I was able to cash in my first ever live WSOP even ($500 reunion). I'm have to watch all of your videos/vlogs now - love they way you are so casual - very refreshing. Thanks
Happy to have found this channel. Long time fan. Thanks for these tips and your insight. Tips #3 and #4 get me often. Often times I find myself playing outside of my means simply because I have experienced being able to outplay some mid stakes players (2-5 and 5-10), however, this video clearly educates me on how I must be more aware of the variance involved. I'll work harder on that.
I became familiar with #1 and #2 in a cohesive form in the chapter with you in 'the biggest bluff'. I took notes, and the 'Always ask why' phrase is now on a sticky note on my screen. Awesome stuff as always, keep it up !
I saw your intro video. If you're taking requests/suggestions how about doing an AMA? First (three) question(s) - What percentage of your income is based on how much you win or lose actually playing poker vs income off the felt? How have those percentages changed over time? Best revenue stream outside of poker?
Thank you for creating this video. I will be using it as a good reminder before I start each session. Bankroll management is a real deal and even I forget about it due to my ego. Can you talk about how to recognize and control ego at the table in your next video please? Thank you!!
Emotions are at times age related! As in what does she know... well, studying GTO for over a year... and learning the process of LEARNING! Will get back to the tables when the new flu is less scarry. Best wishes as you and "the producer" keep teaching.
How do we figure out our tells/ bad plays. There is a guy Krish who plays on the Hustler live stream, and after watching himself he’s worked with someone to help. What do those who don’t have that option do?
just to quiz myself, I list my top 5 off the top of my head and see if i come anywhere close to the master's top 5: 1. playing too many hands, 2. playing OOP 3. bad game selection 4. playing under-rolled and or too high 5. general fancy play syndrome/ overbalancing; going to level 3 when the opponent is on level 1. result, 1 out of 5, guess thats why I'm watching and Phil is making the video
Hey Phil can you do a heads up battle with doug Polk i think everyone would love to watch that and would clear dome tension, i watch both of your videos. I found out about your stuff from dougs channel as well
I believe we gravitate toward list-based videos because we expect that it should be themed, structured, and thought out. (as opposed to a 40 rant on one topic, or a meandering disconnected speech.)
Phil G, do you have hands you favor and hands you find foretell disaster? I'll go first. Omaha poker hands that 90% of the time guarantee a loss: 4 cards that include K-8 or Q-5 or K-10-7 or A-7 -- not even if suited . The only way those combos survive is like KK88, QQ55, etc. Then, hands that play well, but aren't supposed to: Four cards that include Q-7 (often foretells someone has aces and the Q-7 ends up defeating with 2 pairs), and four cards that include suited 7-4. The hand I've defeated a lot of players with is QQ-10-10 double suited. I usually wipe out at least four of six players. This is on Pokerstars, fyi.
thx a lot. a great mind like yours is not common on youtube. although i know most dont have such an interest, i would love the super analytical gto breakdowns and instructions
Wow, this was an excellent video. Besides paid content, this is some of the best advice I’ve seen on RUclips. This was well done. Looking forward to more of this. #5 is how I win money.
You bet or raise for two reasons. 1. To build the pot in case you win (this does not mean to bloat the pot, or build the pot so much that you’ve polarized villains range.), 2. Deny villain’s equity by getting them to fold.
I appreciate the in-depth analysis of each situation that arises in poker. It's important for people to listen to others that know more which is how we grow. Thank you Phil
My game is a bunch of old Asian guys who pot the flop with their entire range with only 40bb, then turn over their hand when someone makes a nitty fold, and then they all turn both hands palms up and justify to the table why they played the hand, the most common refrain being "I have no choice, I have _____!" (Insert "flush draw, top pair, straight draw, no way to win unless I bet, pair, need protection, pocket ace," or literally any other holding.) As a determinist, I cannot argue with this.
noooooo! fly swatters are flithy...hunt down the little buggers, sneak up on them with a hand vacuum or the open tube-end of a bigger machine...it's very satisfying
Feedback = I presume a significant % of ur audience has children/spouses/businesses.

Thank you very much for the kind words and idea. I want to give this some thought. I'm confident in my decision-making when it comes to poker, but I can't say the same for myself as a businessman, so I would need to think harder about spots where I've problem-solved and am pretty sure it led to a good decision!

In my home game the #1 mistake I think is, people play too many hands. #2 they only think about their own 2 cards. #3 They have no board reading skills. Could be 4 flush cards, 4 over cards to their pair etc. and they call river bets. In case it's not obvious, we are all just weekend home game players. 😂😂 My pet peeve is betting habits no matter the blind level or the street # they only bet the minimum. even if there is 10bb in the pot.
Thank you. I really hope you continue these. I think for me, it was a little too basic. I think the playing too comfortable and don't worry what people think were very good tips, but some of the others were Poker 101. Which is fine if that's what you're going for, but maybe make vids for newbies and other vids for more advanced players. I also would love inside info. Like what do you get when your sponsored? Do you play for free? etc. But either way thanks again. You're great for the game.
I don't think poker vlogs are my thing. I don't play much live poker and I feel uncomfortable recording when I do. Maybe I'll get over that someday, but for now it's not in the channel plans.
I have a question/suggestion for your next video..💡💡 if you had 20-30 minutes every morning to study poker what would you include in it?.. 💡💡Every morning (bar weekends & travel) for the last 5 months I have been studying one lesson of a cash game master class. I am thinking of adding - review one old hand in equilab/flopzilla and post to a forum.
+1 on the, “need more money than you think”. I’m a $35/hr winner in 1/3 over a very large sample, and I’m currently on a 15 buy in downswing over the past month. It’s had me mentally fucked up, but watching your videos has always helped immensely. It’s hard to watch these whales with 3k stacks in these max 400 games, and I can’t get AK to hold against 79o on AT7K (random example). I will continue to push through the variance though, and I feel once I reach 2/5, I will drastically progress as my thought process is way more in line with all the bigger games at MD Live where I play. Cheer Phil!
I'm so glad to hear my videos have helped! We all have to deal with the ugly side of variance. Don't think about rushing to 2/5 or how much better it will be. Focus on where you are now and earning what you can over time. Good luck!
Agree that "Top #" are usually oversimplified and not often very useful, but you've now proven it's not always so! For future vlogs, would love: a) hearing your thoughts on recent news/events in poker, and/or b) hear you describe your particular career path and current aspirations.
i THOUGHT THE TWIST WAS GOING TO BE A LESSON IN ACCEPTING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE LOSING NIGHTS, EVEN AGAINST BAD PLAYERS... lol, oops.... Ya, even the best players have losing streaks, you can't win every night. Some people think the great players if they walked into your local poker room, they could sit down any given night and clean out the table, but, of course, it's not like that. Peace *that's why the beginning of Rounders annoyed the hell out of me. He gathers up every little wad he can find, puts his whole lifetime roll together, and goes to 'take his shot', and then puts it all in in one hand. It';s like, ummmm this guy is not a poker player.

i THOUGHT THE TWIST WAS GOING TO BE A LESSON IN ACCEPTING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE LOSING NIGHTS, EVEN AGAINST BAD PLAYERS... lol, oops....
