Amir Vahedi Profile
You know your good poker player when actors like Ben Affleck pay you to tutor them (He was his first tutor). Amir has an unpredictable style of poker that makes it extremely difficult for others players to get the appropriate read on him. He isn’t scared of losing a little bit of money, so that he can win a large amount of it. He is originally from Iran but now he smokes Cuban cigars and lives in L.A. He is a player that thinks if you’re a poker player than you should stick to poker and not do much venturing in other gambling games like black jack or craps.
