Life coach Tyler Todt, known for his high-profile clients and unconventional coaching methods, has recently come under fire for his past behavior towards professional poker player Tom Dwan. In a recent interview for the “Life Outside Poker” video series, Todt revealed that he used to engage in what he called “bum hunting” sessions with Dwan.
“Bum hunting” is a term used in the poker world to describe targeting weak or inexperienced players in order to exploit their mistakes and win easy money. Todt admitted that he used to seek out Dwan at various poker tables and intentionally try to manipulate him into making poor decisions.
“I used to think it was all in good fun, but looking back, I can see how it was unethical and harmful to Tom,” Todt said in the interview. “I regret my behavior and have since apologized to him for my actions.”
Dwan, who is known for his success in high-stakes games both online and live, has not publicly commented on Todt’s revelations. However, many in the poker community have expressed outrage at Todt’s admission and called for him to be held accountable for his past actions.
Todt, who has made a name for himself as a life coach to elite athletes and celebrities, has faced criticism in the past for his unorthodox coaching methods. Some have accused him of crossing ethical boundaries and exploiting his clients for personal gain.
In response to the backlash, Todt has released a statement saying that he is committed to learning from his mistakes and being a better coach and mentor in the future.
“I understand that my past behavior was wrong and I take full responsibility for it,” Todt said. “I am dedicated to making amends and ensuring that all my clients feel respected and supported in their journey towards personal growth and success.”
As the poker community continues to discuss Todt’s actions, many are calling for a larger conversation about ethics and accountability in the coaching industry. It remains to be seen how Todt’s reputation will be affected by these revelations and whether he will be able to regain the trust of his clients and peers in the future.
