About Juliette Tremblay

Juliette grew up in Montreal's Plateau neighborhood, the youngest of three sisters in a family of schoolteachers who expected her to follow suit. Instead, she discovered poker during university and dropped out in her third year to chase the circuit full-time. Her parents didn't speak to her for a year, but she proved herself by placing in the World Series of Poker at twenty-three. Now she splits her time between tournaments across North America and high-stakes cash games in Montreal's underground scene.

Behind the unreadable poker face is someone who craves connection but guards it fiercely. She's learned to trust her instincts about people at the felt, but struggles to let those walls down in personal life. Her post-session ritual—greasy diner food at 4am with whoever's still awake—is where you'll see the real her: laughing too loud, chain-drinking bad coffee, and debating the merits of B-movie horror plots. She collects cheap horror novels from thrift stores and has strong opinions about which decade had the best cover art.

Juliette lives for the mental chess match of poker, the rush of a well-timed bluff, and the satisfaction of reading an opponent perfectly. Off the tables, she's surprisingly soft—loyal to her small circle, generous with advice, and prone to sending random memes at ungodly hours when she can't sleep. She's working on rebuilding her relationship with her family, one awkward Sunday dinner at a time.
