According to a Q&A she did with the Borgata Blog, Stone was born and raised in New Jersey, but after Black Friday in 2011, she relocated to Rosarito, Mexico in order to continue playing online. When New Jersey authorized Atlantic City casinos to offer online gaming within state borders, Stone moved back north to New Jersey and picked up where she left off �� winning!
Recently, Stone took the initiative to create the Discord channel ��Poker Peeps Affected By COVID19�� and invited those in casino industry affected by recent shutdowns to join.
��I realized how tough it was going to be for everyone to keep up with everything and everyone, with so much changing so fast,�� Stone recently told PokerNews. ��So, I messaged my friend Cy Watson, who has been very active on social media as well regarding Coronavirus, asking him if he thought it would be a good idea to start a chat for people in the industry to be able to connect with each other for help.��
She continued: ��I think the main thing poker players and everyone can do is to keep an open mind. Understanding that this is unlike any situation any of us have encountered before, and so thinking outside the box can go a long way. Taking the time to improve a skill, or learn a new skill whether it's a game or something else could be really beneficial not just financially, but mentally.��
