You haven’t learned poker like this.

Welcome to an intimate, focused, 10-week group coaching program designed to teach you what most poker resources can’t.

Kyle

“I was on my largest lifetime downswing when I saw the tweet that Phil made about starting this group.”

“I just hoped I could find a way to make money in poker again. “

“Now, I am confident that I will be able to reach levels of poker that I had previously decided were no longer possible. I am already seeing great progress 70,000 hands in.”

Zach

“Being a part of BTG has been the best investment of my life. Nothing comes close.”

“I have achieved some notable successes, including winning an online WSOP bracelet. However, I’ve always struggled to stay on a clear path towards my goals of finding a healthy life balance, while also progressing my career in an extremely competitive industry. “

“This group has done so much more for me than I could've imagined. It unlocked so many opportunities for my career that I almost assuredly would not have encountered.”

What You’ll Get:

  • Ten weekly 75-minute group calls guided by Phil

  • Weekly video modules for in-depth learning

  • Weekly exercises to implement real-life changes

  • Exclusive access to a group chat featuring Phil, his team, and your peers for continuous support and engagement

  • Bonus video modules with Phil’s coaches and friends

  • Phil’s good luck 😉

Matthew

“I study poker relentlessly. I was sort of looking for some Phil life-hack advice. It only took the first week for that to become a reality.”

“During this course I had my largest live MTT score to date. Coincidence? I think not. ”'

“I feel honored to have been a part of it. “

Brandon

“I was actually really skeptical about being in one of these types of things. I always thought mindset work was kinda voodoo’y.

But I could not more strongly recommend anyone who is given the opportunity to join to do so.”

David

“BTG was a life-altering experience for me.”

“It certainly helped me advance how I think about how I play poker. But more importantly, it transformed every part of my life.”

“After working through it with the group, an issue that had been negatively impacting me for 20 years has just gone away.”

Your Investment:

In addition to the time and energy you’ll put into this group, the financial investment for the next cohort will be $8,500.

Phil’s 100% Money-Back Guarantee:

As this program continues to meet and exceed the expectations of our students (as you can read about below), Phil expects that you’ll get immense value from it.

However, if that doesn’t turn out to be the case, he wouldn't want you to spend your time and money on it. This is why he’s offering a full money-back guarantee.

If, after three weeks of Beyond the Game, you decide that it’s not for you, just let our team know before our fourth call, and we’ll refund 100% of your investment — no hard feelings, nothing but well wishes.

Since he’ll also be investing heavily into you and your cohort, his only ask is that you put in the work and join the calls!

Paul

“Taking a lot of Phil's battle-tested advice, sometimes very complex and sometimes very simple yet effective, has helped me to get rid of my bottom 10% sessions that would often cut into my monthly results, and increased my bottom line quite a bit.”

“Beyond The Game has been incredibly beneficial for both my poker game as well as my life.”

Conor

“I am a mid-stakes grinder with goals of becoming one of the best NL Hold 'Em players in the industry.”

“BTG guided me from optimistic concept to thoughtful plan to meticulous execution. It has not only improved my approach to executing and improving in poker, but to all aspects of my life. ”

I’ve Been There…

Poker is a wild way to make a living or earn a side income. It’s easy to get stuck. Easy to feel as though you’re either in a monotonous grind or spinning out of control. The job is never done. The destination isn’t clear.

You want to only play when focused, but you want to put in more hours.

You want to study more, but you need life balance. 

You go from feeling like you’ll be crushing $50/$100 in no time to wondering if you'll be able to beat $10/$20 next year.

What if games get too tough? What if it all goes away?

Should you study turn c-bet spots, or should you review stats? Actually, this is boring – maybe just put in a quick session.

You’ve been working hard. Why aren’t you where you should be?

Or maybe you haven’t put in the work and study you’ve been meaning to. Maybe you think your laziness is holding you back.

Why haven’t you saved up the bankroll you know you should have? Why are less talented players having more success than you are?

Where to Next?

How would it feel to be more in control?

Studying deliberately, choosing games purposefully. Following your very own custom plan.

Confident that you’re on the right path. Calm in the face of the next downswing.

What would it be like to end a week feeling like you’d crushed it? Like you overachieved rather than underachieved.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a place where you can learn and share your own wisdom — helping others succeed while they do the same for you? Surrounded by a group of peers invested in your success and a mentor you can trust to guide you.

A place where you won’t have to do it all alone.

Jason

“It’s not just a course.”

“Phil is not just an expert in poker strategy but also a caring mentor who is genuinely invested in your success.”

“I gained invaluable insights into both the technical aspects of poker and the mindset required for success.”

Bryce

“I have always felt like I handle the poker side of my life really well, but BTG really helped me find new ways to organize and prioritize my life.”

“These were major weaknesses for me. I have always known I had these issues, but I never really voiced them or thought about how to solve them.“

“Having a group of people who support you through trying to improve was more valuable than I could imagine.”

FAQ

  • Beyond the Game is not traditional poker coaching. We’ll focus instead on the broader aspects of a successful poker career with a unique blend of career guidance, personal development, and community support.

  • While Phil will deliver all the value he can, much of the value of Beyond the Game lies in the collective experience and the diversity of perspectives within the group, curated by Phil. This environment fosters a rich learning dynamic that individual coaching cannot replicate, encouraging growth, insight, accountability, and mutual support among participants.

  • While the primary focus is not on poker strategy, the nature of group discussions may organically include strategy talks. However, the official curriculum does not feature any technical poker training content from Phil.

  • The only requirements are access to Discord for group chat and Zoom for group calls.

  • With the structured homework, modules and weekly 75-minute calls, you should be prepared to dedicate 2-2.5 hours/week to the program.

  • Phil’s students have been getting great value from the program, but he understands this is an investment you want to be sure about, which is why he’s included a money-back guarantee.

    Phil is offering a full refund to anyone not enjoying the Beyond The Game after fully participating* during the first three weeks. Just contact us anytime before your fourth call, and say you’d like to be removed and refunded. We’ll refund 100% of your investment - no hard feelings, nothing but well wishes.

    (*show up to the calls. Do the work. It’s not much.)

  • Once you've submitted your application, it will join our review queue. Phil personally reviews applications to select participants. Unselected applicants are placed on a waitlist for future cohorts and contacted as soon as there is a spot for them.
