Born in Cibolo, Texas, a tiny town close to San Antonio, Alexa Fisher lives and her parents and younger sister. Alexa has already been featured on TV, including a San Antonio TV program, Great Day SA, a show featuring talented children. She has also been profiled in the Las Vegas Tradeshow Lifestyle newspaper and online poker portals including CardPlayer.com.
She has already participated in a live tournament as well: a $30 buy-in charity event for Homes for Pets was hosted in Texas, where she managed to outlast more than half of the players, including her own father. She instantly became a celebrity.
Alexa is a student at Sippel Elementary School, where most of the teachers are aware of her favorite freetime activity, playing poker at home.
It was at the age of 3 that Alexa started getting into poker and maths, when her father started to teach her to count by showing her cards. “Her math skills went through the roof”, her father said.
By the time she turned four, Alexa was already playing Texas Hold’em with her father, being able to shuffle, deal, raise, check and call, and even bluff sometimes. After that, she became familiar with all the other types of poker, limit and pot-limit games, badugi, double flop hold’em, crazy pineapple and triple-draw lowball.
Alexa’s father also pays great attention to her studies; she is not allowed to play poker late at night or before she has done her homework. In order to teach her the correct bankroll management and the right way to handle money, Alexa received her own bank account, with her first bigger cash game winning being $42, and her first major loss $25, while in Vegas at this year’s WSOP.
In this picture, we can see her in her dedicated shirt and hat, signed by her favorite poker players, including Annie Duke, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan and Vanessa Hellabuyck.
The first time Alexa will be allowed to take part in a real money poker tournament will be in 2024, and we really hope to see her at the WSOP Main Event Final Table.
