The most comprehensive Pot Limit Omaha training course ever created, taught by Phil Galfond, focusing on theory, hand reading, solver thinking, and high-stakes decision-making.
This Is PLO by Phil Galfond is widely regarded as the most complete and in-depth Pot Limit Omaha training program ever produced. Created under the Run It Once brand, this course is designed to give players a deep, structured understanding of PLO strategy from the ground up. Across 145+ to 183 detailed video lessons, Phil Galfond—one of the most accomplished PLO players in poker history—guides students through every major aspect of the game. The course combines theoretical foundations with real high-stakes hand reviews, allowing players to understand not just what to do, but why certain decisions are optimal. A core goal of the course is to teach students how to think like a solver. Rather than relying on memorized charts or rigid rules, Phil focuses on building intuition, understanding game trees, and developing strategies that can be adapted in real time. As Phil explains, the objective is for dozens of hours of guided instruction to save students hundreds of hours of independent solver study. The course covers single-raised pots, 3-bet pots, and 4-bet pots in detail, as well as advanced hand reading concepts and EV exploration. Students also gain insight into challenge footage and high-stakes play, learning how elite professionals adjust strategies against tough opponents. While the course is highly technical, it is also structured to help players build a strong strategic foundation, making it valuable for both heads-up and 6-max PLO players. Topics such as bet sizing, range construction, and efficient study methods are addressed to help students maximize long-term improvement. This Is PLO is designed for players who want more than surface-level advice. It is a deep strategic blueprint intended to elevate poker understanding and decision-making across all PLO formats.
