Phil Galfond has personally created a new training course at Run It Once, titled ‘Foundations’. Largely video-based, it aims to provide new and improving players with a solid fundamental understanding of various crucial aspects of poker strategy.

Run It Once (RIO) is one of the very best poker training sites around, and its founder Phil Galfond one of its most accomplished coaches. With multiple WSOP bracelets and over $10M in online winnings to his name, Galfond is one of the most highly respected pros in the game, as well as a highly experienced elite-level coach.

Having Galfond host and create the five-hour course is one reason why this package is so highly recommended. The other? It costs just $49.99.

A micro-stakes price for a high-value course

Most courses at RIO are designed to improve and enhance the skills of existing professionals, with price tags to match. Patrick Leonard’s MTT course, for example, costs $999, while Galfond’s PLO course costs around $2.5K.

The low price of the Foundations course reflects its aim: to give newer players the best chance of success in poker. Those with no experience of poker at all will be able to start with the included ‘Poker Basics’, while those who know the game and want to improve will be able to do so thanks to five hours of video content, broken down into 49 easily-digestible video segments.

Each video will focus on a specific topic, and additional PDF materials will be included covering areas such as ‘Poker Math Made Easy’, ‘Bankroll Management’ and more.

So whether you’re a newcomer interested in picking up poker, or an experienced player who struggles with strategy elements such as Game Theory or ICM, this $49.99 course could be just what you’re looking for. The course also comes with a free month’s access to RIO’s Essential program (usually $25 per month) for further study.
