I enjoy playing poker but it's not the center of my life.

 

After many years of grinding it out at the felt and over half a decade of being deeply embedded in almost every aspect of the poker industry, I decided that life's too short to be cooped up in casinos.

 

The best poker players in the world dedicate themselves completely to the game. Full emersion requires a 24/7 dedication to staying ahead of the game and the nuances of game theory. I'm still a huge fan of the game and take the time to stay abreast of what's trending in the industry, but I'm at the stage in my life where I want to enjoy the slow lane and take some time to live in small moments. 

 

You'll still find me at the felt. But now I'm just a retired lady splashing around at the mid-stakes Omaha-8 tables or one of the rec players in a tournament event. Otherwise, I'm just laying low as an average happy-go-lucky mother of three, appreciating every day as it comes.
