- Join Phil Galfond in a Scary Session played at $500/$1000 PLO in 2010. Facing an aggressive recreational poker player, Phil was running low on bankroll and the stakes were high.

It's a blast from the past when Phil reviews an ultra high stakes poker session from 2010 against the legendary recreational poker player 'cadillac1944'.
Phil describes how he went into this session feeling nervous and with a short poker bankroll. Do you think you could take a shot at high stakes in Phil's shoes and not have it affect your mental game?
Pot Limit Omaha is a high-variance game by default, but how would you adjust your poker strategy to someone 3-betting 50% of the time? The 2010 Phil had certain ideas, and the 2023 version has some thoughts on those ideas!

😃
couldn't of said it any better
Or value heavy or spew! We won’t be blue
you are an absolute legend for posting a session where you are getting destroyed and also it is great that you are realistic about hands that you played badly. Awesome stuff. Rarely authentic content and huge balls. Respect
Nice stuff Phil. I remember watching the full ring omaha tutorials from years back, really helped out my game. Keep ‘em coming
Hard to win versus aggressive card racks ;) Keep these coming, please!
They're supposed to not have anything!
5:39 "...I guess I'm bluffing..."
the tone in which you said this made me chuckle.
these videos are amazing Phil! thanks for sharing as always. :)
More of this! Actually, just more of everything you’ve been posting lately, your content is amazing!
great content thx, more of these please
I wanna see 2-7 sessions and mixed game sessions
This is amazing content, please give us more 👌
these are great man defiantly keen to watch more
Would absolutely love to see some high stakes old school no limit holdem...thanks so much Phil!
Nah bro pot limit is the best, his new no hl hold em videos are boring
Awesome content! Its bizarre how good he ran smashing that many top sets. Glad to see how you alwaya worked out and came back from this losing sessions, this is the biggest differences between pros and wanabes, keep it up Phil ❤
Always nice to watch your content. And these videos could be longer, imho. Please keep them coming.
please post more of these!
perfect encapsulation of most shot takes
Would love to see more old sessions :)
More old sessions please Use to rail you back in the day bring back memories 😊
Awesome! I enjoy making these, so I'm glad you and others are liking them!
@@PhilGalfond i remember the first time i saw your screen name omgclayaike How did you come with the screen name it s the best ever by the way Thank You ! For alway being trustful and honest about poker Poker can be tought I just feel like I alway get that notification or tweet just when I needed in my life from you Thank you Phil
Your comment could be taken a few different ways.
My heart when you lost two all-ins for 400k. Very respectable to have you post losses-- *very* few gamblers do. Just shows the type of mindset needed to make it to the high stakes!
You think Phil is gambler?
Love this format
awesome job, please keep posting these stuff along with your TP which is invaluable
Thanks, will do!
Yes. I want to see every freakin session
Hey Phil, great content as usual. When you say your BR was getting a little tight around this time would you happen to recall how many BIs you had for this game? I imagine you didn't just sit down to play this rec with your last 100k obviously, but just always wonder what kind of guidelines highstakes players use when playing the big games.
Love all your content. What do you think about posting some sessions of 2-7 Lowball? (Assuming you have any recorded). Either NL or Limit, single or triple (though I'd think NL would be more interesting?) I love watching you play PLO, of course, but there's such a dearth of 2-7 content out there, and I would like to watch you play different games, hear your thoughts on changing mindset as you move from one game to the next.
Moving down in stakes after taking shots is pretty brutal. Knowing u have to put it twice or three time the work to build ur bankroll can be disheartening but going through that experience is the only way to grow as a poker player. Ty for the video as always Phil 🙂
Awesome stuff…I can hear the stress in your voice as you’re reliving this.
Thank you. Yeah, I really took myself back to that day. I'm surprised I felt it as much as I did.
MORE OF THESE TYPES OF REVIEWS PLZ YES YES YES
Great stuff as usual Phil!
I'd love to see you review hands from your old High Stakes Poker TV appearances
Great suggestion!
I’d love to see more hand histories of past Galfond Challenges! 😎💰💵
Oh man I can only imagine the tilt you must have experienced that day
please review all those sessions, Phil
This was an interesting session. Sometimes they just have it. I would like to see the Patrik Antonius session. Think I saw alot of it live back in the day.
I know this content stuff probably isn’t the highest ROI of all time but man do we appreciate it. Thanks Phil for being a great poker player but even a better more respected person in this crazy space
😊 thank you
MORE PLEASE!
i dont think they get repetitive at all. Really good watch and good analysis
I know you tend to focus on PLO, but I'd love to see some (hu?) triple draw videos. Either way, I love your channel
Great videos! Very informative! Hope you will do some advanced NLH videos as well.
Hey Phil, could you give me a piece of advice?
I moved up from 5NL to 50NL in a year by using the 30 BI rule and my mind is a bit overwhelmed by how fast the swings are growing (up or down, doesn't matter).
Although I'm never money scared and I always play to the fullest of my ability, I can't ignore the fact that I can make similar amounts as I can in my day job.
This makes me respect the game much more and my approach has become much more serious than before.
Is there anything I can do, to stop thinking about the amounts I'm playing for? I'm a bit concerned about my first upcoming downswing on this stake and I want to be prepared...
I already am trying my best not to get too excited when I win big, but it's not easy to keep my emotions in check.
Thank you in advance and keep the good content up :)
5:40 "I guess I'm bluffing..."
Great to know I think just like Galfond
This is great! Also kudos for underrepping the buy-in in the title given you lost 400K instead of 100K
These are sick, would love to see heads up NLH
Bring more old sessions. I really enjoyed it. Patrik Antonius Sounds like cool stuff!
This is gold!
I love these videos
So glad :)
was that the time when you made the videos about the downswing and your family reach out to make sure you were OK? and a friend offer to lend a million dollars, but you chose to play lower stakes? love all your videos
Hi Phil, I enjoy your videos and thanks for the content.
I have a serious question for you, even though ostensively you will believe it to be silly.
At the end you give reasons why it seems to go poorly when you are scared and uncomfortable. How sure are you that being scared and uncomfortable does not affect the random outcomes of the game?
gotta move down to where they respect your raises! great vid!
I remember watching caddilac1944. One of the "rich businessman" types who would show up every so often on full tilt. This guy was nuts. Think Durrr lost over a million to him. I also remember the swings in his games were wild. Goes to show that when you're fearless you can definitely win over skill at least for a little while.
Legend 🐐
oooof!
and I am still so bad at PLO that I gave you a straight in the last hand at first.
bricking out on the 4-card wrap+flush draw against top set was bruuuutal
Really enjoying watching the sessions vs the “recreational” players. More fun, more action, and hopefully more “wins” for you😊
OK, but should I play KJs UTG+1? 🐟 Great idea for a video and awesome execution!
More NL Holdem!! This is so cool
Hell yeah. Don’t even play PLO but I enjoyed the analysis 🤙
Thank you 😊
I think one of the biggest leaks here is people continue playing in such a scenario and ultimately lose their whole bankroll.
Through ego they continue thinking the cards are gonna turn, im better than villain, and go busto.
Takes a lot of pride to say, you know what, it’s not my day, I’m being outplayed, and log off.
How tempting was it to try and win your losses back against a player you feel you had an edge on?
VERY tempting! You make great points.
It is really hard to make the decision to log off in the moment. That’s why I always try to set a stoploss before I start playing, while my mind is clear.
Keep reviewing
This was awesome, some pretty soul destroying losses in there. No wonder you were worried.
There's some hand where cadillac got like 250k in with bare 1 pair vs skjervoys set in a single raised pot and just runner-runner'd him lol
What is your mindset like during the rebuild process? Do you ever feel slightly hopeless after having to slowly grind back your losses at lower stakes?
And how long did it take you to grind back up?
I’ve done it so many times that, no, I never felt hopeless. I’ve always liked setting a new goal and working towards it.
Watching you get wrecked somehow makes me feel better... a lot better. Thanks Phil
Moaaaar , ty sir you are the best
Liked this. Thinking buy in for whole 400k at start instead of 100k bullets. Do you think that would have went better?
i was just wondering to play these stakes, u said at the start the br was getting tight, how much do u actual need to play these type a stakes ? thanks
I don't know about 'need' but Phil answered what would be a comfortable bankroll for these stakes: "I'd say something like $5m-$10m"

Maybe this is a stupid question but why did the queen high flush beat 5s over Ks full house? Is that a PLO thing? I thought the hand rankings were the same. Do you have to use at least 2 cards from your hand or something?
Edit: Yes, in PLO you have to use at least 2 of your hole cards.
these videos are so great. what a brutal session did you ever recover or did you have to quit and get a real job? I'm guessing you gave up the poker dream got married n had a kid.
Thanks man :)
Yep, I had to go make training videos & start a family.
3:57 he has full house ..you have flush only ..still you win 😂
you gotta use 2 cards in omaha. he inky had trips 5 with KJ kicker
good vid. i would enjoy more 500/1k plo
You and me both! Need to find some action in 2023 :)
Would love to see NL hands!
Yes, Phil, please review any and all the hands you want. I guess it is really boring and simple for you, but even if you took a few extra minutes explaining, it would make me happy
Would love to see some 2-7 but probably not good for the YT views! Failing that some more retro NLHE would be nice.
phil what camera and lighting setup do you use
Canon EOS 90D. Not sure what brand my lights are but they're nothing special.
@@PhilGalfond thank you for your response! much appreciated. quality looks great.
How does pro poker player arrange family and kid? They often have to face wining and losing also the hours that they work is at night. Can I plz talk to u about it
I got agida just watching this!
Who was Cadillac1944 i just find old 2p2 posts asking the same
If you got a rec player whos overy aggressive: sure, limping buttons is good for pure win rate, but in my experience id say you make him not wanting to play you. So the 9653dd in the beginning should be a raise even though limping wins more (in my humble opinion)
Sorry I am new to PLO how. At 4:08 how does cadillac not have a full house with the 5 in his hand?
Unlike in Texas hold'em, in PLO you must always use two of your hole cards. So with JJ95 in his hand, the best hand he can make is a flush (using Jh9h). If the river was the 6 of clubs instead (no flush possible), he would have 5-5-K-J-5, the last two representing his two hole cards.
@@PhilGalfond OHHH I didn't realize that you MUST use two hole cards. Thank you for the reply.
Can anyone tell me how on 4:00 a flush is better than 5's full of kings?
Hey SupDog, in PLO you have to use exactly 2 cards of your hand with 3 board cards.
In this case Phil's wins with the higher flush (KQ865 > KJ965)
I know it's about prestige, managing bankroll, earning a good living, having fun, promoting your skills, etc.
But man wouldn't it be more satisfying to build a school or hospital somewhere?
Fantastic sir not the loss tho
Bring larry back!
Not many know who he is. What a legend
I don’t understand why you never 4bet any hands I guess. Open 3bet flat seems to be the standard for every hand… I’m just curious why with such a high 3bet frequency you weren’t 4betting at least the strong pre holdings? Was this part of the “playing scared”?
Edit: after seeing his hands I don’t think you would have changed much, I’m just surprised I didn’t see more 4 bets pre.
I can't imagine being 25 and ripping four or five $100,000 buy ins
Is this potripper's second account? ;)
Great content
Please make PLO5 videos
Can you review anything you played against isildur if you did. I don't remember. Pretty sure he donked off all his money to PA and Hastings in PLO.
Probably you haven't stumbled across this shiny gem (exactly what you are asking for):

@@Moonlightmaster ty!
Hey, can you make top 5 things that the pros do at the poker table that non pro don’t? Besides the obvious of winning, you all know what I mean lol
Why clay aiken
Who is Caddilac1944
Phil is looking a lot like Kevin Smith these days.
OMGClayAiken!
I could watch you play PLO all day, especially with the awesome commentary. Please post all of these!
Hope RIO is doing well. I was a player on your site when it operated in Germany. Was very sad to see it go. 😢
Man I run always so poor against maniac whales. Some days ago on my table there was a absolute insane person that put in 1000bb pre with random hands in plo 5 card. He ran 30 stacks over ev in some hours and I ran like 25 stacks unter ev. It's always the same.
Selective memory. When you have a good session against a bad player you don't remember it because "that's what's supposed to happen."
@@patrickkirby5079 No you dont understand it. These kind of super whales come once in a half year and literally everytime i am down
@@technofeeling2462 it's also the nature of PLO. Against someoene with a massive stack going all in blind every hand, you will lose most of the sessions you play. You have to double up 4 times in a row to stack him. Even if you get it in as a 60/40 favorite on average, that's still a longshot. But when you do win you'll win huge, and make up for the losing sessions in between.
4s turn 3s river…. Ooof
HE PLAY HU PLO LIKE ME ! FINALY i see someone like me :P
I want to see the session of you losing 2 million to Phil Ivey in plo hu match. I thought for sure you would crush him. I want to know did you think you ran bad or played bad? Was Phil ivey just to good? I remember watching him beat isildur1 hu on 2 tables of nlh out of 4 million dollars. I thought for sure Ivey would lose and bet my friend on isildur. This is when nobody could beat Isildur1 heads up when he was at his best. I stopped doubting Ivey after that.
Thats a 430k pot on a sick sick badbeat
How the fuck does he not remember this;)
There have been others 🤕
@@PhilGalfond I can imagine;)
Hello!
seems like you were button clickin a little
