WHAT POKER CHAMPIONS SAY ABOUT PHIL
"Phil has been extraordinary in coaching me. His ability to compute difficult mathematic solvers has helped me a tonne in my game. It allowed me to clearly identify mistakes all the way from preflop to the river, street by street. My understanding of the game has reached the very top level due to his help."
Elton Tsang,
International poker icon, with an estimated over $120M in winnings
How we teach you our PLO action systems
"My confidence as a poker player itself has never been higher... each session I have had with Phil has made difference in my understanding of the game itself and my win rate has tripled over the course of the year, I was making 10-20k a month when i joined Phil and I make 50-80k a month now."
Nitin Jain,
High stakes pro in 4c/5c/6c PLO
For over a decade I have led Cardquant - the radical poker research centre that has developed poker systems and software far beyond what is available on the mass-market.
I’m a Thouron Scholar with degrees in Theoretical Physics from Oxford University, and the University of Pennsylvania.
I have personally trained high-stakes poker players to combined winnings of tens of millions of dollars, and my clients have won multiple high-roller tournament titles in WSOP and Triton events.

ELITE VIPs AT THE POKER FRONTIER
"As an Olympian with a decade of elite training and competition experience, I was always looking for an edge. I intuitively understood that to be the best, I had to train harder and smarter than my competition. I am so happy I pursued training with Phil — I love the player I am becoming and the extra cash is great! " [Testimonial from our Cardquant Diamond program.]

Strategy Surge VIP gives you a strategic information advantage over every player in your games. (Unless your opponents work with me already.)
If your time is valuable, and you want to spend it winning, fill out our short application form below.
Shallow 'GTO' teaching
Reliant on equilibrium assumptions that aren't valid in your PLO games.
Endless useless drills
In vast PLO games, every game tree node is rare and so every game tree drill is irrelevant.

Consume video after video because without a rigorous scientific foundation every lesson has an expiry date.
RENT-A-SOLVE IS REPETITIVE
They solve artificial games for the masses.
Understand the game structure
Study our causal poker models developed as part of Cardquant's independent scientific research.
Develop your own judgement

Pokermuscle is Cardquant's private poker decision-process training environment. Its unique proprietary engines are built using our own original mathematical models for PLO games.
Surge is for you if...
You play in high-stakes PLO games with frequent multiway pots, in 4cPLO, 5cPLO, 6cPLO, or Big O.
You are ready to use what you learn to take advantage of the poker pros who underestimate you.
You are an accomplished investor, businessman, or sportsman, who knows what it takes to get to the top.
You want access to a powerful PLO action system that puts you firmly in control at the poker tables.
Surge is not for you if...
You prefer the warm embrace of a GTO Bro teaching PLO to the cold steel of scientific poker action systems.
You're an amateur playing big games against pros, but won't invest $30,000 to raise your EV in every pot you play.
You lack both the humility and the concentration to learn from intense personal coaching sessions.
You prefer entertaining yourself with mass-market PLO tactics videos and mindless solver drills.

IF YOU WANT A SHARPER EDGE, YOU MUST GO WHERE THE CROWD CANNOT FOLLOW...
At Cardquant, we began building our own solver - Ultrasolver - as far back as 2018. Our research with Ultrasolver soon showed us that solver analysis was a weak foundation for PLO strategy, because it limits your scope to 'GTO' outputs valid only for highly specific game models.
Poker solvers are only as useful as the game models they are based on.
