Daily Habits

Little is known about Muskan Sethi’s daily routine, though in a 2018 interview, she did say that when she is at a live poker tournament she sticks to a very regimented schedule. This involves her waking up early, working out, eating healthy food and “grinding hard at the poker table” all day before going to sleep early.

When not taking part in live events, Sethi plays poker online so that she can continue to practice and hone her skills. Like many other athletes do, she also spends time reviewing the hands she’s had in past tournaments to see if she could have played differently.

Muskan Sethi Biography

Muskan Sethi is a professional poker player from India. She was born on 5th February 1991, and she turned 30 in 2021. Being born in February, her Zodiac sign is Aquarius.

Like Radhika Madan, a famous Bollywood actress, Muskan Sethi was born in New Delhi. 

In terms of physical appearance, Muskan Sethi is slim, has dark brown eyes and dark brown hair.

She was initially educated in Delhi, which included several years at Delhi University. There she studied computing and management but decided to switch paths after graduating. Sethi then moved to London where she studied Fashion Journalism and Brand Management, but again had a change of heart and decided to try playing poker. 

Muskan Sethi Professional Life

She had been interested in the sport for most of her life as her grandmother was an avid card player and she’d often watch poker on TV with her father. Sethi is the only one of her siblings that plays poker, though in an interview she gave in 2018 she said that she had tried to teach them several times.

After playing online for some time, Sethi made an appearance on Shark Cage, a television show that pits poker professionals against talented amateurs that have qualified through online tournaments.

Her Shark Cage performance attracted the attention of the folks at PokerStars who signed Sethi as an ambassador in the Spring of 2018. In doing so, she became the first female professional poker player in India to sign a sponsorship contract.

In an interview she gave shortly after signing with PokerStars, Sethi said that she wanted to use her role as an ambassador to improve the profile of the sport in India and that she believes that “if people try it for themselves…it’s going to be amazing” for both the players and the country. 

Sethi’s tournament success has been modest so far. She currently ranks 73rd in the Indian all-time money list, though being just 30 years old, her career is still in its infancy. 

Outside of her poker playing, Sethi also works for the Indian government as the country’s Responsible Gaming Ambassador.
