Hailing from Taiwan, Su has developed her skills within the highly competitive Taipei poker community, frequently appearing at the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP) Club. She represents a new generation of Taiwanese players who balance a high volume of regional play with consistent international appearances. While her early career was marked by deep runs in local daily tournaments, her trajectory in 2024 and 2025 has seen her transition into a feared mid-to-high stakes regular on the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and Korea Poker Cup (KPC) circuits.
