Phil Galfond started 2011 with a massive downswing, but last month he was back in full force and ended up winning over $1,9M from his March games.
In his blog, Galfond tells, that he has been grinding nonstop lately, and also that he has "rediscovered his passion for poker":
"I've definitely rediscovered my passion for poker, which is always great for results. I am really focused on working on my game and playing as much as possible.
I still need a lot of work on my 2-7 game (I find myself lost/confused way too often still), and a ton of work on my Stud games, but I think everything's coming along well.
I've also been sleeping very little, due to my obsession with poker and my regular life activities. I've been getting maybe 4-7 hours a night, which is not normal for me at all. I've become addicted to coffee, so I'm functioning well. I guess this is more +EV until I get sick?"
Let's hope Galfond will continue his good run at the tables. At the moment he is nearing $1M in his 2011 winnings, and as I am writing this, he is also playing some $1500/$3000 2-7 TD with Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen at Full Tilt Poker.
