Quotables
Things journalists can quote me on
If you need a pull-quote or expert source on a topic, these are the things I'm willing to be on the record about. Attribution: May Mor, WSOP Circuit Ring winner and founder of LeakHunter.
"Online poker has had hand tracking for 20 years. Live poker has had nothing. That's the single biggest unsolved problem in the player-development space - and the entire industry has somehow agreed to ignore it."
On live poker's data-dark problem
"A player's poker is downstream of who they are. Until you understand the player, fixing the game is rearranging surface symptoms."
On identity-first coaching
"Women generate under 10% of poker revenue globally. Operators say they want to grow this segment. None of them has built the development layer underneath. That's not a marketing problem. That's an infrastructure problem."
On women in poker
"I built LeakHunter because the tool I needed didn't exist. Every player should ask themselves: what tool would change my game if it existed? Then go build it."
On building your own tools
"Tactical coaching teaches the game. Identity-first coaching unlocks the player. They're not in competition. Tactical work without identity work doesn't move results. Identity work without tactical execution leaves money on the table."
On coaching methodology
"Poker rewards consistency over years more than brilliance over weekends. The goal isn't to win the next tournament. It's to still be playing well in ten years."
On sustainable performance
