Why Is This Important?
It has seemed that the launch of a new online poker room in today's market seems like a ludicrous idea. After-all who could compete with the likes of PokerStars and their millions of dollars in promotions? After Amaya acquired PokerStars it seemed like poker was going to go downhill, as they focused primarily on cutting costs and recouping their investments as soon as possible. As a result players that once where able to make a living, where getting squeezed out due to rakeback cuts, increased rake, and increased focus on Casino games.
Other sites transitioned to cutting out all player rewards and table capping to try and stay afloat. Nobody seems to be able to figure out how to keep a sustainable ecosystem in the online poker room that does not screw over poker players, kill the dreams of those who aspire to play professionally, and remain profitable at the same time.
With the recent news that Phil Galfond will be taking on this project, it gives new hope to the future of online poker and the industry in general. People had doubts that a new coaching site would succeed in a saturated market of decuescracked, leggopoker (now iveypoker), cardrunners ect but he proved them all wrong and created a world class roster of champions for Run It Once.
Which without a doubt has the best poker coaches, and content for anyone on the market today.
So when the news came, that a man of such integrity, and caliber would be launching a poker site. We can only dream of what innovations he will bring that will revolutionize the industry once and for all.
Who is Phil Galfond?
As some of you may not know who this legend is, here is a quick run down of his amazing accomplishments.
