Thomas Boivin — Poker Career, Results, and Coaching Philosophy
From engineering to elite poker: the full story
The engineering background
Thomas Boivin didn't start in poker. He came from engineering — a field that taught him to think in systems, to optimize processes, and to approach complex problems with structure rather than intuition alone.
When he turned to poker, he brought those same principles. The result was a career built on analytical rigor and continuous improvement.
Playing at the top
Over 14+ years, Thomas built one of the most impressive careers in European poker. Triton Super High Roller appearances, 15+ WSOP cashes, and over $17.6M in live tournament earnings. He plays regularly at the highest stakes in the world.
He still actively plays — mid ($3K) to high-stakes ($250K) live, and $200–$10K online — alongside his coaching work. That keeps the pressure on himself to keep learning.
The coaching philosophy
Thomas's approach combines deep technical mastery with performance science. Alongside Krista — a performance coach with 15+ years of expertise — the coaching addresses the whole player: strategy, mindset, health, and lifestyle.
His students don't just learn poker — they learn how to be professionals. The study systems, the mental game work, the community — it all compounds into lasting improvement.
