Jonathan Jaffe has taken the poker world by storm for nearly a decade. This Massachusetts native started his journey as a professional poker player after just one semester of college and quickly rose to prominence. Specializing in heads-up Sit & Go tournaments, he made a name for himself at 21 by clinching 2nd place in his first World Poker Tour event . The confidence and notoriety launched him into the realm of backing and coaching. A few years immersed in high-stakes live cash games followed, but as that chapter closed, he transitioned seamlessly into full-time coaching. September 2022 marked a new era as he ventured into the Triton Poker Series, instantly becoming hooked and committing to playing every Triton event even while continuing his coaching. Last year was a whirlwind of research for an upcoming book that delves deep into the high-stakes tournament scene, exploring its vibrant culture and colorful personalities. This passion for the game and its intricacies also led to the launch of the GTO LAB podcast in April, a platform dedicated to the high roller tournament circuit. The podcast not only features in-depth discussions with top tournament players but also offers meticulous breakdowns of pivotal hands played on stream, all while promoting the GTO LAB and its mission.
