When one of the Kardashian/Jenner sisters shares a video on their social media platforms it usually goes viral. They’re a family tailored for a modern approach to popularity. While they’re usually focused on their family drama, cosmetics, and fashion, this time around Kylie Jenner decided to take a different approach. One of the latest reels she shared was not about high fashion. It wasn’t about cosmetics, plastic surgery, or beauty in general. If you haven’t seen it, you probably can’t guess what it’s about. It’s about poker!
That’s right, Kylie Jenner is a big fan of poker. This card game got her attention a few years ago, and she’s been a fan since. She is also an avid player. In collaboration with Vanity Fair, Kylie shared a tutorial about poker. She explains the game in short lines, tells about how she came to love poker, about strongest available hands, and how you play the game in general. While an interesting video, we’re not saying it’s not, it left us desiring to know more about the game.
Luckily for all of us, fans of casinos and online poker games, there were people out there willing to take things to a whole another level. One of the biggest brands in the online gambling industry, Stake, decided to elevate matters to a higher level after noticing how much traction Kylie Jenner’s poker video got. This online casino and sportsbook decided to cooperate with Nina Marie Daniele, better known as Nina Drama, and recreate what Vanity Fair and Kylie Jenner did. They just did it better.
While there’s no arguing that Kylie Jenner is an attractive woman, often praised for her good looks, and having her appearance being a big part of her popularity, this time around Nina Drama takes home the crown. The famous influencer who is often seen creating content with UFC stars such as Merab Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira, simply put better cards on the table.
While Kyle tried her best to keep her main attributes of the table, and keep things poker related, Nina…well, she brought out the drama. In poker terms you could say that she saw through Jenner’s bluff, called it, and even raised the stakes. In a video that was done in collaboration with Stake.com, Nina Drama is sitting at a poker table, looking gorgeous with fabulous makeup and hairstyle. Yes, we are saying that she looked miles better than Kylie Jenner, and that’s not something you’re going to hear too often. While her facial appearance was tuning, we’re not going to lie to you, it’s her chest area that got most of our attention and we’re sure that it’s the same for everyone who laid eyes on her latest video.
It’s not like we’re superficial, it’s just the way Nina wanted it to be. Unlike Kylie Jenner, Nina Drama was honest about women playing poker, saying that when you have attributes like hers, you only need to be good at bluffing, and not so much in the game of poker. The video starts with her saying: “Hi, I’m Nina Drama, and you know I like to go all in, and this is how I play poker. There’s nothing better than the thrill of winning, everyone wants to be on top.” This section is followed by a wink by Nina Drama, and that’s where you will already be hooked. You may love or hate poker, but after this video you are going to be a fan of Nina Drama, we can guarantee that much.
What follows is Nina going into details of her game. Ms. Drama continued by saying: “First thing first, and most importantly, you don’t want to bust out fast. So, keep your composure and a great poker face. And, just fake it till you make it, like me. And this is my poker face…no, no, no FACE! (well you know where the camera was zooming). And this is my normal poker outfit. Part of distraction is a must, especially when you don’t know what you’re doing.”
By this part of the video we were already forgetting that its goal was to promote the card game called poker. The part where Nina speaks of distraction was filmed in a way that we actually did get distracted. Nina Drama knows our job, and whoever is doing marketing for Stake knows their business. Having a growing influencer presence in Nina Drama putting people’s focus on an evergreen game such as poker like it was invented yesterday is an amazing way to get players interested in a classic that has been at the casino for ages, once again.
It is hard work getting back on track with everything that Nina said about the game, thanks to her dazzling appearance, but. We’re going to try our best, for all of you who have forgotten to turn on the sound. Miss Drama continued by saying: “The goal of poker is to mhm…These are the hands. Take it all in. Sometimes, when you’re not working with much, you just have to shove it! And if the hand is not strong enough, you can just call their bluff. And if that doesn’t work, well…”(this is the part where you really need to take your eyes off Nina and remember we’re all here for poker).
Usually, when we write an article about gambling, there’s a part where a disclaimer is put that you should gamble responsibly. In the case of this video, we’re also going to advise all viewers and readers of this article not to bluff too much when they play poker unless they’re looking like Nina Drama.
Anyway, to get back to the main subject, and it is poker, not Nina Drama (remember guys), here’s what else she had to say about how to be good at it: “Listen, who cares? You’re not even paying attention! (She’s onto us guys). I’ve never played poker in my life. But, if I did, I’d be playing with Stake, where you can play poker anytime anywhere.”
Now, this is how you do a promotional video. You can bet that Kylie Jenner didn’t have this on her mind when she did her shoot for Vanity Fair. Also, she probably isn’t thrilled about the fact that she’s been overshadowed by Nina Drama. Truth be told, Ms. Drama showed much more personality in her Instagram reel than Ms. Jenner did in hers. This type of approach to marketing is what sets Stake apart from other online casinos. Not only that their online poker games are better than what competitors have, but they have created an online presence that goes far beyond being just an online casino and sportsbook. Stake is a brand.
In addition to their most recent collaboration with Nina Drama, Stake is focused on spreading their influence across different spheres, and get familiar with different types of audiences from all over the globe. Under their roof they have put together the likes of many UFC fighters such as Alex Pereira, Israel Adesanya and Valentina Shevchenko among couple of others, are an official betting sponsor of UFC, have musical stars Drake and Davido under contract, and Patrice Evra, Sergio Aguero, and Eden Hazard working as ambassadors. The goal is not only to provide sports betting and online gambling, but to become the biggest brand in the industry while doing it.
This most recent collaboration with Nina Drama is proof that they know what they’re doing and prove just how strong their bond with the world of MMA is. We say this because Nina Drama is renowned as being one of the biggest MMA content creators and is signed by UFC. Her unique approach to journalism set her apart from her counterparts and helped her grow her online presence. She currently has over 4 million Instagram followers, and close to 2 million on YouTube. Many of her videos and interviews border with absurdity but that’s just part of her gimmick.
With only one short video, and a much shorter one than the one released by Kylie Jenner, Nina Drama not only got people interested in the game of poker, but also showed the way to one of the best platforms on which to do it. Yes, you could argue that it is easy to make a poker video go viral when you have Nina Drama behind it, but how come no one has remembered to do it sooner? Now, that’s a good question, isn’t it? It’s thanks to Stake’s unique approach to doing business why we now have the satisfaction of seeing Nina as one of the top poker promoters in the world, as from now on, she’s that for us. Like we said at the beginning of this article, Nina has done a much better job than Kyle and that’s a hill we’re willing to die on.
While marketing and promotion are important in the online gambling industry, at the end of the day, the players are still mostly focused on the end product, and that’s the game catalogue available at any given online casino. Luckily for all of you, who are considering Stake online casino and sportsbook as your next stop, they stand tall behind all of their promotional videos. While watching Nina talk about her kind of poker was all fun and games, you’ll need to take a slightly different approach at online casinos.
At Stake, poker is one of the most popular card games, where you can sit and play with your friends at a virtual poker table. It is a game of skill, even more so than chance, which is a rarity at a casino. The goal of the game is to get your hands on the strongest five card hand that beats all the other players at the table. If you’re new to the game, it is good to know that Stake offers guides on how to play most of their games and poker is no exception.
Of course, to play the game, and learn about it at Stake, you will first have to open an account. Once you’re registered, you can deposit the funds with fiat or cryptocurrencies, and start your poker adventure. If this is the route you want to take, you need to know that at Stake there are two types of poker available. Those are Texas Hold’em and Omaha. With the Texas version, the players are dealt two cards, and they need to get the best available hand from those two cards and the five that are on the table. The two cards in the player’s hands are called hole cards, while those at the table are community cards. As far as Omaha poker goes, the rules are mostly the same. The big difference is that the players are dealt four cards. They can use two of those, and three of the five at the table to get the winning hand.
This is a moment where we should go and explain the strength of the hands in poker to aid the players to understand the game better. But, guess what? We’re not doing that! Why? Well, do we even have to, when you have Kylie Jenner and Nina Drama videos explaining it much better than we could ever. Of course, it is important to remember that when you’re not looking as attractive as those two ladies are, the same rules of poker apply differently. As we understood from the video of Nina Drama she can get out of the worst poker hands by simply bluffing. We don’t know about you, but the writer of this article certainly is not able to bluff the same way. For some players, bluffing comes more actually and Nina Drama is one of those people for sure. So, before you sit at a poker table next time, head back to the Nina Drama video, learn some more about the game, and you should be gearing up. In the meantime, you can wait for another Stake/Nina Drama viral video to drop.
