Celebrating the Players and Community Since 2006

Founded in 2006 by Gene Dudek and Bill Phillips, the Gulf Coast Poker (GCP) Tour began as a passion project to provide poker players in the Gulf Coast region with a centralized hub for information. What started as a niche website has since evolved into an international brand, now encompassing the highly regarded GCP Tour and other poker-related ventures. GCP remains dedicated to highlighting the Gulf Coast’s vibrant poker scene, fostering community, and providing opportunities for players to shine on and off the felt.

As Bill Phillips puts it, "The Gulf Coast boasts a lot of great players and is kind of underrated nationally. Considering we are the birthplace of this great game, it's a bit of a shame more of the national spotlight hasn't been put on us." From Biloxi to Baton Rouge, Lafayette to Tallahassee, the Gulf Coast is home to an incredible array of talent. Players from across the region—and those who frequently travel here—continue to thrive, proving their skill on the national stage. GCP is proud to champion these players and this dynamic poker community, ensuring the legacy of poker along the Gulf Coast remains strong and celebrated.
