Phil Galfond’s new YouTube series goes beyond poker strategy.

Legendary poker pro and Run It Once founder Phil Galfond announced on X earlier today that he’s started recording one-on-one coaching sessions with fellow poker professionals. But instead of focusing solely on strategy, these conversations dive into topics that are rarely discussed publicly.

The first episode, now live on YouTube, features a high-stakes PLO player discussing discipline, ADHD, and the fear of failure with Galfond.

In the second session, Galfond sits down with another high-stakes PLO pro for an open conversation about the player’s personal finances and money management.

If you’re looking for a different side of the game, the first two episodes are well worth checking out.
