From a Philosophy degree to being a high stakes poker pro, Phil Galfond isn’t really sure where he would have ended up had he not found online poker.

Phil mentions in today’s clip that he loves to teach and that’s quite evident in his paid poker training content on Run it Once as well as in the free poker training content he releases here on YouTube and other social media platforms.

Poker Pro or College Professor?

  1. Would be super cool if you did some guest lectures about poker / your career at colleges. I'm at Notre Dame and would be more than happy to try to help organize a speaker event for you to come out 😀

  2. Learning poker was the DUMBEST thing I ever did — because I found out I was good at it, and I couldn't stop. It is, no matter how good you are, a form of gambling. I should have stuck to the practice of law. I was good at that, too. I lost everything.

  3. I see a lot of philosophy majors in the data analytics space. Honestly would rather have a philosophy major as my boss than an MBA. Much more likely to be thoughtful about workloads and burnout.

  4. Current college student right now doing Computer Science and Math while playing live PLO and NLHE for an income. I sometimes feel the same way, like I have no motivation to do anything beyond my work, or study in research for my fields or anything like that, but poker I’ll spend hours doing work on it and reviewing hands just because I love the game. I built up my roll playing online but have since quit because the games are way softer live, I wonder if I should go back though… Still my parents absolutely hate the idea of poker lol

  5. Professors don't make bad. The smartest ppl I know left academia to pursue something completely unrelated to their studies because universities want to keep instructors at the adjunct level where they make peanuts, or the GTA level where they make nothing

  6. I would say you are a professor today but not in the classic area. 👍 Always enjoy how you teach and approach the game.
