Phil Galfond's Advice: What to Do About Online Poker in the US?


Phil Galfond wrote a blog post titled 'What to do?' on April 29, 2011. Galfond suggests that players should consider taking a break, relocating, or finding alternative sources of income. He plans to travel to Las Vegas and play live poker during the World Series of Poker.

Galfond's advice comes amidst uncertainty surrounding the future of online poker in the US. He cautions players not to rely on the quick legalization of online poker and to prepare for the possibility of a prolonged period without legal online poker in the US.

In response to user inquiries on 2+2, FTPDoug, the PR manager of Full Tilt, assured users that players' funds are safe and have not remained in the US. However, he declined to provide further comments, leaving the poker community eager for an official statement from Full Tilt.

I'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.
