Sky Matsuhashi compares a winning January to a losing November to find real leaks. He looks at three-bet stats, river call mistakes, and mental game issues like distraction and forced volume. Use this method with your own tracker to do more of what works and less of what hurts.

Compare a good month to a bad one. Fix river calls, three-bet smarter, cut distractions, and never blame luck.

From Leaks to Wins: Monthly Breakdown Highlights

  • Compare one winning month and one losing month using a hand tracker
  • A higher three-bet % than call % is a sign of a stronger, more profitable strategy
  • Calling on the river when you can't name a hand you beat is a costly leak
  • Distraction at the table - emails, multitasking, streaming - kills win rate
  • Forcing volume to hit hour goals leads to tired, unfocused play
  • Table selection matters: leave sharky tables fast and hunt for fish
  • Luck is not the deciding factor - your decisions and mindset are
