Can anyone fill us in on Vanessa Rousso altercation?

it's remarkable that several hundred posts are made about something that happens all the time in poker.

vanessa, since you consider yourself a poker professional, it's important to start acting like a professional. when i'm at the table, i prefer to let my actual poker abilities and not my mouth do the talking. i don't like to cast judgments, but have found through experience that those who do otherwise and get riled up at the table - especially when they start needling others - usually are not playing optimally. while they are trying to put a specific opponent on tilt, they get out of tune with the flow of the table, and make mistakes later.

likewise, if someone berates my play, i try to put my ego aside. occasionally i find they are correct in their assessment in how i played the hand, and their feedback helps me improve. other times, i find that their feedback points out some lack of understanding in their understanding of the game or in their understanding of how i play, which is potentially exploitable later. in either case, i can make appropriate adjustments based on their perception of my play. the result is that i tend to profit more. so, i see no reason to get upset at an opponent for needling me - especially since they just made me more money in the long run.

please note that i don't condone aaron's behavior either. but whether or not he has as many live tourney cashes as you is immaterial - what matters is whether he's correct about the way you played the hand. for what it's worth, i've won substantially more in a single hand than your entire lifetime live tourney winnings. but that's not the reason you should take into account what i have to say - you should pay attention since what i'm saying is correct and will help you improve as a player and professional.

I've had as many wives as Norman Chad, and I don't think she is hot either. But to each Chad his own.

hugely situation dependent imo.

It's quite possible she had her piece removed and grafted onto her face, for whatever reason.

For sure. When people called the clock on Tiffany Williamson two years ago when she was taking 20 minutes, was that "doucheville" ?

I personally don't call the clock because I don't think it helps most of the time, but I don't blame anyone who does after a reasonable length of time.

dids, i couldn't disagree more. if you believe that you have an edge at the table, it's in your interest to play as many hands as possible. so, whether or not you are actually in the hand, you are still very much affected by someone taking a long time to make a decision. if someone is taking a long time, i don't see any issue with calling the clock - it's not like that there is that much to think about. i would say, though, that it's wrong to talk while someone else is in a hand.

i don't play many tournaments these days, but a few years ago i remember one particular experience. we were down to the final two tables, with each one playing short handed. i felt that i was the strongest player at my table, but there was also a player there who was playing too many hands and spending a considerable time thinking about each decision. it's not that he took six minutes each time, but on average he was probably taking a minute or two each and every time the action was on him, which is a long time. as a result, our table was playing far fewer hands than the other table, and it was hard for the better players to accumulate chips going into the final table.
