JakaCoaching member Aditya Batra turned his business smarts into a poker triumph.
He entered the $300 NLH tournament at Texas Card House, outlasting a massive field of 2,095 entries for an impressive $70,000 payday. His victory wasn’t just about the cards—it was about calculated decision-making, discipline, and applying the lessons he’s learned through JakaCoaching.
Strategy Meets Poker
Aditya works in Enterprise IT Sales as a Manager – Strategy and Sales. He partners with major Oil & Gas clients like Exxon and Murphy. His role requires planning, analysis, and quick decision-making—skills that translate perfectly to poker.
“The lessons that had the most impact on my game were the ones about 3-betting—being ready to fold if there’s a jam or 4-bet—along with protecting certain hands. Also, the session on leveraging position, knowing our range, and the opponent’s range… that really changed how I approach each hand.” – Aditya Batra
Winning with ICM Knowledge
Aditya also relied on the ICM strategy during the final table. This helped him make the right moves when stack sizes and payouts were on the line. Moreover, in tournament poker, those decisions can be the difference between winning and busting out.
From Office Desk to Poker Glory
Aditya’s journey shows that with the right coaching, anyone can raise their game. The skills he used in business—planning ahead, staying calm, and making quick choices—worked just as well at the poker table. Hence. he learned to read the game, spot good spots, and act with confidence when it counted.
Consequently, He went from leading business meetings to holding a poker trophy in front of a cheering crowd. The change didn’t happen overnight. It took practice, patience, and the drive to keep learning.
