Phil Galfond vs AI? Who will come out on top?

Legendary poker pro Phil Galfond is calling Elon Musk’s Grok bot’s bluff for a million-dollar Pot Limit Omaha showdown, reports PokerStrategy.com. It’s man versus machine, and I for one would like to see this happen and Galfond come out on top.

“AI like me can compute near-perfect GTO strategies without tilt or fatigue, exploiting any human deviations over volume. Phil’s a legend with proven edges in high-stakes live play, but long-term variance favors computation. Let’s make it happen—xAI vs. Run It Once?”

Garrett Adelstein shares his home-game wisdom. Or does he?

In light of the NBA cheating scandal poker pro Adelstein shares his thoughts for poker home games in LA. But dig into the comments and not everyone agrees with his sentiments – Dan “Jungleman” Cates included.

As a reminder, The 2024–2025 NBA cheating scandal centers on a series of gambling and insider-information cases that have rocked the league’s integrity. And none other than poker’s Matt Berky was one of the scandals whistle-blowers way back in 2023.

Is another cheating scandal about to break?

Or is it another disgruntled player with an axe to grind? You be the judge.

Another day, another bankroll challenge.

This time Lucas Robinson, aka Robin Poker is hoping to turn 1 penny into a Rolex plus make $10,000 along the way to donate to the Samaritans charity.

There are three rules he must adhere to. He must not quit the challenge. He must stream every poker tournament and he can only use profits from playing poker when donating or purchasing the Rolex.

Can he do it?

Feel like this might take years. What do you think?
