Top Players Are Getting Coached Too: Faraz Jaka in the Hot Seat
Poker coach Faraz Jaka is stepping out of his coaching role and taking a seat as a student in his new monthly strategy series, Pros in the Hot Seat. Each month a different expert reviews the hands Jaka played, pointing out his mistakes and areas he can improve.
Faraz Jaka, one of the established names in poker, is bringing a different approach to poker education as the founder of JAKAcoaching. With his monthly strategy series Pros in the Hot Seat, Jaka is leaving his usual coaching role behind and sitting down at the table as a student.
In the lessons, the explanations come not from Jaka but from leading figures in the poker world. The experts review Jaka's hands, challenge his decisions, and identify the areas that need work. Each month Jaka works with a different expert. Topics can range from a difficult spot in a high-stakes tournament to a possible leak in online play.
Members watch Jaka walk through his thinking and follow the experts' reasoning. The lessons are interactive. Members can solve quizzes, ask questions, and join live discussions. Every session is recorded and added to the JAKAcoaching library.
Different coaches take part in the series in rotation. In WSOP 2026 Tough Spots, one of the featured sessions, Thomas Boivin will examine the difficult decisions Jaka made against some of the toughest opponents in the world. Michael Gathy, a four-time WSOP bracelet winner, will review Jaka's online tournament hands. Kevin Rabichow, a Triton strategy commentator and heads-up specialist, will explain the adjustments needed while competing for a tournament title. Scott Baumstein will cover low and mid-stakes tournament hands from Hard Rock events. Online tournament specialist Jeremy "Soappalled" Menard will also contribute to the course.
