Vanessa Selbst retires from poker

[Amdrius]

It is quite expected that poker pros will be leaving now more often. Poker ecology has deteriorated in recent years 5 very much. Even if Negreanu won more than $ 2 million in prize money for the year 2017, he finished the year in a minus profit, then what to say further.

 

[David macdonald]

She says she is giving it up so her girlfriend won't leave her...

 

[ScottieDuncan]

Never thought she'd quit so early!!

I wish her the best in her life from now on with the choices she will make .
I am very sad she quit poker , she is one poker player I really admire for many reasons and the personality is one of them. I hope she'll come back one day .
Now , all these she has said about online poker and the new players , i think she is mistaken

This is one of the reasons she quit and it was bloody honest of her to say it.

“I can’t tell amateurs they should come play online and it’s beatable for them when I don’t feel like it’s true,” she wrote.

 

[skaterick]

They always un-retire !

This is so true!

Got to admit I have never taken to her, there was something about her. Thought she had a nasty petulant streak and no class.

"beauty"??

She looks like a dude.

 

[Pharaoh39]

I'm surprised she is able to break away from poker

Why is that surprising to you?

 

[allingoall]

I hope she will return. will wait

 

[David macdonald]

Does it not surprise you?

She's a lesbian so....yeah.

 

[Pharaoh39]

Don't think I didn't notice that you didn't answer the question. LOL
Not really. I do believe poker is a good skill set to have, but a person should use what they made off in the game to venture off into other opportunities.


"Get In, get out"


That's an OG classic move.

It's highly addictive, once you are hooked it's no easy to escape. That's my point 😀

Selbst and Mercier. For me it looks they were fired..."left" within days for hedge funds and family etc. ?!I dont see much of "Ambassador" (?) Greenstein, why they keep him.

 

[paipingprung]

Vanessa Selbst: Antonio I think I'm gonna quit playing poker
Antonio Estemwhatever: SICK
Vanessa: I know, so sick
Antonio: sick
Vanessa: sick

always

everything always has a spin on it

Not gonna miss her. Honestly never liked her style a lot, not that I have seen her play that much, but I saw some videos here and there and her participation on High Stakes Poker I believe it was. Nothing remarkable there.

 

[vitalicharniak]

The withdrawal from poker means for Selbst a new field, on which many players have already tried their hand - this is the work of a trader in a hedge fund. Vanessa began to comprehend the wisdom of the new profession a few months ago and is very happy every day to learn something new in this area.

 

[David macdonald]

I agree, I never liked her style either and won't miss her

 

[mk0523]

There is not that much money in poker anymore is probably wow she decided to retire.

He will be missed.

 

[Tihiy2017]

One of the best poker players. I liked to watch games with her participation.

I thought she was super aggressive, she bluffed too much. Balls of steel, but then that suits her image.
