Ep 549 – Chats: Faraz Jaka on Studying and Teaching Poker!
This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Faraz Jaka from JAKAcoaching! Faraz tells some stories about his decades playing poker as a pro and as a coach, and shares how he has pivoted to running his own training site in order to help more serious recreational players take the next step in their poker journeys. The group discusses how to curate your own time effectively, the value of community, how to study without spending a lot of money, and how important it is to get the most out of your study resources.
Faraz talk about tailoring his strategy lessons to different kinds of players and learners, and shares five simple steps that EVERYONE can use to improve their play. He even gave us a free 5-minute video that you can watch to improve how you take notes on your hands – the crucial first step to any poker fan’s progression as a player. He also shares some common mistakes less experienced players make, and plays Stake, Study, Stack with Doug Polk, Matt Stout, and Chance Cornuth before we Close The Action with our speed round.
Plus of course we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat! Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
