About Me

I'm a professional poker player. Originally from Mexico City, I now live in Vegas part of the year and travel the world the rest . I've been traveling all the time lately and I dont plan ..ping anytime soon. I love what I'm doing even though it can be incredibly frustrating at times. I go to sleep at 8 am and wake up at 5 pm (this is why i never answer my phone ;) ), I do what I want when I want and I love it. I like to party, and I love soccer. You can learn more about me and read my blog at www.jcalvarado.com..
