“Two years ago on a friend trip, all the boys were playing poker, and I didn't really understand it,” Kylie explains. “They just taught me how to play, and then I started watching tournaments, and that's when I became obsessed.”
That got us thinking. Just like her, we all have our ‘origin story’ as poker players: it might have been a memorable night at college, a gutsy win, a lucky river, or a perfectly timed bluff.
Everyone’s story is different, which is why we want to hear yours.
