Texas Hold'em has been my go-to because my first job in the industry was a poker table moderator, and it made me fall in love with gambling. There's something about the pace of online poker that just clicks with the way my brain works. You're constantly processing odds, reading patterns, and making decisions under pressure, all at once. It's not just a game, it's a mental workout. I love that skill genuinely matters here, that the more hands you play and the more you study, the better you get.

Horse racing. I'm an animal lover and horse girl at heart. No matter how good the odds look or how clean the data is, I can't bring myself to have money riding on a race that involves animals.

I lean toward podcasts where the conversation goes somewhere real—guests and speakers who are honest about growth, the mind, and rewiring the way they think. That intersection of science and human experience is what I’m really into. My podcast hours in 2026 are well spent on On Purpose by Jay Shetty.

Reality TV outcomes. There’s no data, no edge, and no way to handicap producer decisions. If I can’t analyze it, I don’t bet it.

A matched deposit offer from BetMGM early on. The terms were fair, the rollover was manageable, and it effectively doubled my starting bankroll overnight.

Long walks with a good podcast, or getting lost in a bookshop for an hour. Anything that isn’t a screen.

I like music that matches the moment. Calm evenings call for soft jazz, acoustic songs, or piano. During the day, I enjoy indie pop.
