Chico Jones

Chico Jones, whose real name is not publicly disclosed, hails from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. He first got into poker during the NHL lockout when poker took over TV and local bars, starting his play at Dooly's on Elmwood Drive. Jones attended Birmingham Seaholm High School and later Arizona State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business management in 2013, before transitioning to a career in real estate and poker.

Jones' first major live poker memory is winning the inaugural tournament at the Moncton casino when it first opened. He describes this as a fantastic game and a proud achievement. Since then, he has primarily played online and in local cash games, building a reputation as a solid, consistent player.

Jones is known for favoring small pocket pairs, especially pocket 2s, which he calls "the easiest hand to play." His least favorite hole cards are 2 and 3 offsuit, and his favorite suit is spades. He often says, "The river is where I live," indicating a willingness to chase draws. He looks up to professional players Tom Dwan and Daniel Negreanu for their aggressive and creative styles.

Outside of poker, Jones' daughter is his top priority, though he jokes that poker comes a close second. He maintains a lively online presence on MonctonPoker.com, where his profile reflects a fun-loving, competitive spirit. While not a household name on the global tournament circuit, Jones remains a respected figure in his local poker community, known for his steady play and positive attitude.
