Matt Broughton

Matt Broughton


Matt Broughton is well known within the British Poker community for his regular appearance on Sky Poker,[1] as well as the humorous magazine show The Club, which he presented with Dan Lobb.

He can often be heard commentating on Matchroom Poker productions alongside friend and broadcaster Jesse May.

In 2007 his first book (co-authored with Dave Woods) "How to Play and Win at Poker" was published.

Before Sky Poker, Matt was a presenter on cult late night show: Poker Night Live.

Matt's previous jobs include being editor of Flush Magazine, and writing for various magazines and newspapers, including: Poker Player, Cool Player, WPT, The Sportsman, etc. Prior to his involvement in the world of poker, Matt spent 15 years in the video games industry, where he held various roles, including European Marketing Director for Midway Games, and International Director of Communications for Atari.

Matt has been playing poker for over ten years. Originally an Omaha player, Matt quickly migrated over to the increasingly popular Texas Hold'em variant and has never looked back. Leaving his day job behind, Matt went semi-pro in 2005, regularly playing live in his favourite Vegas poker rooms or across the increasingly busy internet tables. Matt began writing for various magazines that launched as poker's popularity grew; also joining the ever-growing ranks of poker bloggers and podcasters.

He also runs a poker events company: Poker Evenings
