Hot Seat Coaching

Hot Seat Coaching is an opportunity to slow the game down and examine real decisions that arise during play. In this guided session, you’ll walk through your thinking with a coach while the group observes and learns from the moment together.

The goal is not perfection—it’s clarity. By examining your hand development, choices, and timing in real time, we can explore practical strategies that help you feel more confident and steady at the table.

Two sessions, four hot seats, on Five-Monday months.

You’ll need the following:
– A laptop or desktop.
– A recent version of Chrome or Firefox.
– A mic and webcam.
– A good internet connection.
