Biography:
Born in rural Alabama, Hoyt grew up getting after school lessons in poker from his father. His father taught him his "no fear" style of playing.
As a teenager, sometimes Hoyt would get to play in the weekly cash game his father hosted. He didn't play many hands, but observed his father's plays and how players reacted to them. Hoyt accredits much of his skill in reading players to the knowledge he gained from his father.
