Galfond Revisits Aggressive Poker Session from 2014 with Phil Ivey and Alex Kostritsin
Galfond revisits a memorable poker session from 2014, played on Full Tilt Poker with a $60,000 buy-in. The session featured a strong table, including notable players like Alex Kostritsin, Phil Ivey, and others.
In one hand, Galfond opens with A7o from the button and calls a turn bet. On the river, he checks behind with his hand, ultimately losing to Kostritsin's stronger hand. Galfond reflects on his decision, noting that his hand had showdown value but was not strong enough to bet.
Another notable hand involves Kostritsin raising with a weak hand, and Galfond calling. Galfond discusses his thought process, mentioning that he often played dynamically in 2014 and trusted his intuition. He also reflects on how his playstyle has evolved since then.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
