In this coaching video, Sky Matsuhashi from Smart Poker Study emphasizes that improving as a poker player starts with identifying specific problems in your game. He explains how most struggling players don't know where they're losing money and shares common leaks like poor river calling decisions. Sky recommends database analysis, targeted study, and purposeful practice to fix these issues and transform from a losing to a winning player.

Finding and fixing your poker leaks is essential to becoming profitable. Start by identifying specific situations where you lose money, study those areas, and practice new strategies both in and out of hands.
