Strategic Distraction and Passion for the Game
The 28-year-old entrepreneur took a truly unconventional approach, appearing in front of the cameras in just a bra. She claims it's her “typical poker outfit,” aimed at strategically distracting her opponents. Although the video may seem playful at first glance, Kylie admits she has become completely immersed in poker.
Her poker journey began two years ago during a getaway where friends taught her the rules. Since then, she has started watching professional tournaments and has become obsessed with the game. Her passion reached such heights that her mother gifted her a custom-made poker table for her birthday. She even exaggerated the feeling of victory, comparing it to the joy of childbirth.
Home Games in Hidden Hills: Tequila and Timothée
In the video, Kylie also gives a glimpse into the atmosphere of her private poker nights at her Hidden Hills estate. Her ideal “poker vibe” includes:
-
Quality tequila and snacks.
-
Good music or sports broadcasts in the background.
-
Players who are not afraid of action.
Her most frequent opponent is her friend, Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet, who is considered a formidable player himself. Despite the relaxed atmosphere, Kylie demands focus and dislikes when too much “chatter” replaces the game at the table.
