A message from Fedor Holz

As most of you will have seen by now, I've decided not to renew my ambassador contract with GGPoker. At the same time, we're also announcing a change in how Team Pokercode is managed going forward.

First things first: I'm staying on as CEO of Pokercode. Over the past one to two years, I've already been gradually stepping back from my operational responsibilities - and today we're making that official. Going forward I'll be focusing on the strategic aspects of Pokercode, while the day-to-day operations are fully in the hands of the team - led by Hannes Neurauter.

This community means a lot to me, and I'm proud of what so many of our members have achieved and what we've built together as a product. But as I'll be spending more time on other things going forward, and Pokercode is in a strong position, this is the right moment to make some changes. Therefore, we have three things to announce:

• 1
  New management structurePokercode has always been run by a strong team working in the background - and it's this crew that has helped build Pokercode to where it stands today. This process has been running for some time already, and it's only natural that the team takes on more responsibility going forward. I'm happy to announce that Hannes Neurauter will be leading that team.
  
  Many of you will already know Hannes from his years inside this community - he has been with Pokercode for more than five years and has my full trust as the new Head of Business & Operations. He reports directly to me, while I will be less involved in the daily business behind the scenes.

  No own coaching sessions for nowI won't be hosting my own coaching sessions for the foreseeable future. I'll still appear as a guest in other coaches' sessions throughout the year - but my regular sessions are pausing for now.
• 3
  A new learning format is in the worksWe're working on something I'm super excited about - a new format built on what I've learned during years of building s00n and working closely with the most talented players in the world. We're not ready to share more yet, but it's coming towards the end of 2026.

Where Pokercode stands today

Over the years, this team has worked together to build something that goes far beyond a coaching platform. Our coaches and members have made their mark at the biggest events in the world - because of a system we built and refined together. That system is now stronger than ever, and it keeps producing players who belong at the highest levels of the game.

Our coaching squad is the strongest it's ever been. All our coaches are part of my personal circle and we've been working together for several years now. We'll continue to do so - and via our coaches, our united knowledge keeps being shared with you as per usual. And of course, the hundreds of hours of content I've recorded over the years - including the MTT Masterclass by Fedor Holz - remain in the library and aren't going anywhere.

Concretely, this means more coaching sessions going forward. Hannes Jeschka and Fabian Niederreiter - two coaches I've been working with closely for years - join our existing squad to keep producing the high quality content you're used to. At the same time, we'll be testing new formats - starting with the upcoming boot camp by Phemo, and our live trips to Casino Marrakesh and Casinos Austria. And of course, alongside all of this, the new format I'm working on myself is coming later in the year.

This community has been built on the values important to me: a collaborative effort, positivity, and passion for the process. Everyone involved shares these values, and you can be sure I'll further be guiding the efforts of the coaches, staff, and members to maintain and grow this environment together with you.

Thank you for being part of this. See you at the bowling event.
