Matt Matros has been in the poker business as player, writer, and coach for more than two decades. After first breaking onto the scene with a third-place finish in the 2004 World Poker Tour championship, Matt eventually went on to win bracelets in three consecutive World Series of Poker from 2010 and 2012.
Focusing more on writing and coaching these days, Matt has published two short books, one medium-length book, and one long book on poker strategy in recent years. The Poker Brain (the long one) continues to receive strong reviews and win fans (including Steve O’Dwyer and Isaac Haxton) three years after its release. His most recent book, Twenty-four No Limit Tournament Hands from 2024 (a short one), maintains a five-star rating on Amazon.
As a coach, Matt offers private instruction for groups and individuals, and is known for tailoring his teaching methods to whatever works best for the student. Some people like memorizing charts, some people like reviewing hands, some people like to hear complex ideas broken down into simple, understandable points. Most students get a little bit of all that stuff, but in the proportions that make the most sense for their level and their learning style.
Matt is offering Jim a series of lessons leading up to the 2025 Main Event, and RecPoker Premium Members are invited to join the action on the fourth Thursday of each month or watch the videos after, starting at the end of March 2025!
