Yup, Vahedi is aware that he is not the world-best Hold’em player. But He also knows that his playing style suits tournaments greatly. His money is $3,070,050. He is not afraid of putting his money in the pot. Sometimes he loses great sums but after sometime he wins again. An Unpredictable Player “You wanna mess with me, it's going to cost you,” he says.

Which is not appreciated about Amir Vahedi is his smoking habit. “A lot of top notch pros look to get in chip wars against each other and forget that the real threat is Amir, who’s smoking his cigar in non-smoking cardroom,” they say.
