Bryant is known for a tight-aggressive style, excelling in Stud and mixed games. She focuses on reading hands and leverages position and opponent weaknesses. She performs particularly well in limit games.

Bryant is regarded as a role model for female players in poker. She has stated that poker is a mental sport and gender should not be a barrier. Her husband is also a professional player, and they often compete together.
