These Same Poker Leaks Keep Appearing After 4,000 Hours of Coaching

What can 4,000+ hours of poker coaching teach you about the mistakes players make again and again? In Episode 3 of theSPOT Podcast, we sit down with professional poker player and tournament coach Matt Hunt to talk about his journey through poker, coaching, and a unique background that gives him a different perspective on the game: linguistics. We explore whether poker can be thought of as a kind of language, and Matt breaks down the similarities between learning to speak a language and learning to play poker — from recognising patterns and understanding context to eventually making good decisions without consciously thinking through every individual rule. Matt also takes us through his poker career and shares some of the biggest and most consistent leaks he’s seen across 4,000+ hours of one-to-one coaching. ....................................................... 🎓Master more SPOTs.
