About Me
Hi, I’m Chris Jones, a RecPoker Core Team member and Content Director, which means I help shape much of our member content. My path to poker is a bit unconventional. I grew up in a family that loved bridge and had a strong science-and-math background, but my professional life has revolved around storytelling. That’s what fascinates me most about poker—it’s a perfect blend of logic, math, story, and swagger.
I’ve played poker for years, but I didn’t take the game seriously until a significant health scare changed my perspective. I had always enjoyed playing casually with friends and dreamed of competing in the WSOP Main Event, but I kept putting it off. That health scare made me realize you can’t just wait for “someday.” So, I committed to studying the game and headed to Vegas.
I didn’t have the bankroll to buy into the Main Event, so I planned to take my shot in satellites, knowing it was a long shot. But on my very first attempt, I won my way in. That experience—two incredible days of cashless poker—remains one of the highlights of my poker journey. And trust me, I’ll be back to play it again!
You can find me on Bluesky @FiveBFive.
