even the best players can lose all your money, do not forget about it, and it could just be a marketing moove on her part as ElkY and went back

I can see her point. The constant travel regime is totally non-conducive to settling down. It gets old fast.

I watched one of her first, if not thee first televised event. At first I was like wow way too aggressive. When she took it all down, then I was thinking, so take no prisoners approach makes a lot of sense.
She has never changed to try and be what someone else wanted her to be.
You always have to remember that the opposing players are not there to give you a chance in beating them.
Hopefully she will be in action again.

Hey. Quitting while you're ahead isn't the same as quitting. Maybe she just feels she wants to do something else in life.

Vanessa selbst is the best player poker among women lovers game in my opinion, always follow your videos on YouTube and learn a lot with her. A shame a great player retire, more she has their reasons. Very lucky to it in the new ventures.

Would not doubt that she is in a hole and decided to pursue other things she is a smart person I think she a law degree if I am not mistaken. Her aggro play leads to very swingy results. Unfortunally luck finally runs out one day.

A while a back I saw her on tv once stick a quarter mill in with J5 preflop against a pretty solid player it may have worked if he didn't have Aces.

She was a good player but with her aggression it was only a matter of time before she jammed one to many times....:( She will be back as soon as she sets back another bankroll.

Very rare to see a player at that level just walk away for good. It happens but very very rarely does it happen when they are still up.

Hopefully she’ll still turn up for the WSOP at least and maybe just retire from the traveling circuit.

Always amazed when they retire so young, think lots of them end up unretiring like Timex did.

She will not be missed, every hand she is in she should win, or she complains .. very annoying to watch, and I bet play with.

Vanessa's retirement

pokerstars professional poker player Vanessa Selbst announced that she is retiring from poker because she claims that poker has changed a lot these years and poker has become now more a mathematical game than instincts-based game,particularly online I agree with her appointment because it is true that amateur find it more difficult to win at online poker .. What do you guys think ?
