Phil Galfond: An entirely different kettle of shark

Lee Davy sits down with Phil Galfond, the owner of three separate businesses, and one of the most sterling poker players on the planet, to talk about all things life.

When you think of poker and anthropomorphism, you tend to think about dogs chugging on cigars. Not me. I think about Phil Galfond. The ultimate predator. A shark. A man who has earned so much money competing at the top of the line he wouldn’t look out of place in Sotheby’s, gloved hand in the air, hoping to buy one of Coolidge’s classics.

It’s the way Galfond goes about his business that I respect. Some people prefer a ‘club the baby seals’ approach to the game. Galfond is a different kettle of shark. He prefers straight up dissection. The man approaches poker at the cellular level. His approach to the game is microscopic, and it’s allowed him to become the foremost poker coach in the world and owner of an online poker training site that snorts fire.
