Vanessa Rousso interview - "I play A LOT of online tournaments..."

[mocky]

She means 80 or 90 MTT's all at the same time LDO.

I haven't met her, and she may be a bitch. I just think she must have some abilities at tournament poker to have 3 6-figure cashes. I also think someone with a Duke degree is generally not a moron, but I agree she shouldn't keep talking about it.

There are much worse tournament players who are Stars and Full Tilt pros. Everyone knows these sites are interested in people who have been on TV to impress the donks they are trying to attract to their sites, and they don't care that much how good a player their pros are. Also, really successful professional players make plenty of money and are not that interested in endorcement deals that probably don't pay that much. Also, they probably want to have some women "pros".

I agree with whoever said Vanessa seems to have mild Asperger's syndrome. Her poker ability is inversely proportional to her people skills. NVG is uniquely bad for failing to distinguish between these.

If you've ever heard her verbalize her thoughts during a hand, you'd know that any major cash she's had was dumb luck at best.

Did you notice the average buyin is $663? She obviously is not multitabling a zillion litte MTTs. I have played close to 100 x as many onlineMTTs, but I used 10-table $20 or so ones.She probably has her buyin for the WCOOP events paid by Stars.
McEvoy's OPR stats. Note -64% ROI.

I just don't see how you make 3 6-figure cashes through luck, unless you are a wealthy amateur playing a zillion high buyin events. And I don't think she got into Duke on her looks, and I wouldn't totally discount someone with that credential, although I agree there are a lot of arrogant people with such degrees.

She made a few grand tonite on the Limit Stud table ... I hate her too!!!

[DOH!_28]

well if she's only played about 100 online tourneys and has made as much as she had in only playing a few of them, wouldn't you all think that is a testament to her skill at some level?

I am a noob rook so I dont know crap, i'm just saying...

[demon102]

good for her, on a side note all the tv games Ive seen her play makes me believe she cant beat the $25nl games on stars
