Phil Galfond announced quietly on twitter Thursday the launch of RunItOnce.com, a new community forum and training video site. The site plans to cater to players of no-limit, PLO and tournament players, and touts a community-focused site with forums and player blogs, a built-in video recorder for user-submitted session recordings, and a long list of exclusive premium video producers. Run It Once Poker was founded by Phil Galfond to create a different kind of online poker site. The first Galfond Challenge saw Phil beat Venividi by €1,671.58 over 25,000 hands on top of the side bet of €100,000. Phil is the owner and a part of the training team of the poker training site, Run It Once. Galfond is a humble and straight-thinking kind of guy and he is no doubt a special breed at the online poker platform. He is brilliant, successful, and rich, and in spite of all these, he is still very much approachable, likeable and much fun to be with. A POST FROM Posted by Phil Galfond November 19, 2019 Who wants to play some high stakes poker with a washed-up ex-pro?! (Hey, all – I just have a quick post for you today, but I'll be back with some more updates in the very near future!).
Who wants to play some high stakes poker with a washed-up ex-pro?! (Hey, all – I just have a quick post for you today, but I'll be back with some more updates in the very near future!)
I'm looking for some high stakes HU action to help promote Run It Once Poker, and I'd like it to be a challenge that we can build some hype around.
My first idea was one that was also related to RIO Training…
Open PLO Coach Challenge
An open challenge to anyone who currently makes training videos for a site other than Run It Once (Sorry Sulsky, Kruk, Joni, Cory, Richard, and the rest of the RIO team!).
HU PLO, similar to the infamous Durrrr challenge: 50k hands, 3:1 on a sidebet of 10 buyins, played at 100/200+.
Any competing training site coaches – please feel free to take me up on that! You'll get preference over anyone else. (Plus you'll get 3:1)
I'd consider dropping the stakes if it helps get me some action here, but I would prefer a bigger game so we can bring in some viewers.
Everyone Else
I expect I'd probably not get any takers if that were my only offer (it's a limited pool and a challenge like this is a big commitment) so I'm looking for challenges from everyone!
A businessman like myself can't offer 3:1 to all of you superstars, but I'm looking for some other challenges, varying numbers of hands (probably fewer than 50k and perhaps I can do a couple).
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Prefer 100/200 through 300/600 PLO.
- Will consider as low as 25/50
- Will consider PLO/NL, PLO / limit games, and perhaps even straight NL if I get desperate enough!
- Strongly prefer play on Run It Once Poker, but would consider some or all of the match played elsewhere if necessary.
- You accept that I might make training content around the match and/or stream some of the match.
- Any opponent who would stream some of the match (on RIO Poker) will get preference and possibly better terms.

I believe anyone who'd take me up on this has a way to get in touch directly, but if you're interested in playing and don't know how to reach me, please email a challenge proposal to [email protected] with the header 'Phil's HU Challenge' and they'll forward it along to me.
