For many poker players, the road to a breakthrough win takes patience, focus, and quiet persistence. For JakaCoaching member Matt Myers, that journey led to a defining moment at the $150K GTD Almighty Stack ($400 buy-in) at @daytona_poker. Matt topped a 764-player field to win $44,675 — his first major live tournament title.
A Journey Built on Consistency
Matt’s success didn’t come from luck. It was the result of steady progress and relentless effort. Over the past year, he’s spent countless hours studying, reviewing tough hands, and applying modern strategies he learned through JakaCoaching.
Instead of chasing quick results, Matt focused on building a solid foundation. He improved his decision-making, adapted to changing table dynamics, and developed the calm needed for deep runs. That preparation paid off when it mattered most.
That preparation paid off when the spotlight was on.
Staying Composed When It Counts
The later stages of a live event are where most players falter — when the blinds climb, the ICM pressure sets in, and emotions can cloud judgment. But Matt handled it all with calm precision.
In fact, hand by hand, he stayed disciplined, executing his game plan with confidence and clarity. Whether facing all-in decisions or chip-leader dynamics, he trusted his reads and instincts, maintaining the poise of a player who’s been there before — even though this was his first major win.
It’s this mindset — composed, strategic, and focused — that JakaCoaching emphasizes as a cornerstone of tournament success.
Turning Preparation into Breakthrough Performance
Poker is as much a mental game as it is a strategic one. Through months of review sessions, theory work, and mindset training, Matt turned preparation into performance. He didn’t just show up hoping to run well — he arrived ready to execute.
That readiness transformed into results. When the cards broke his way, he made the most of it. When they didn’t, he stayed patient and stuck to his plan. It’s the kind of disciplined approach that turns solid players into champions.
A Win for the Entire JakaCoaching Community
Matt’s victory isn’t just a personal milestone — it’s a testament to what’s possible when players commit to growth. It embodies what JakaCoaching stands for: structure, accountability, and performance under pressure.
