Why I Launched Balanced Poker – Balancing Life and Cards

Hey fellow poker lovers, 

I’m Jason Velasco, just another poker enthusiast who loves the game. Today, I’m excited to share a bit about why I started Balanced Poker—a place that’s more than just sharpening your game; it’s about enriching everything that comes with it. 

What Lit the Fire for Balanced Poker

Every poker player knows the game is full of ups and downs. I’ve been through my share, grinding through mid-stakes games, enjoying some big wins, and learning from the losses. While my day job in tech and legal consulting as an entrepreneur taught me to think on my feet and stay cool under pressure, sitting at the poker table is where I really put those skills to the test. 

To me, poker mirrors the rollercoaster of life. It’s about taking risks, reaping rewards, and staying balanced when the heat is on. I saw a lot of us wrestling with the mental game, the stress, and all that pressure. That’s when I got to thinking—why not build a place that helps us tackle both the game and life?
