Poker Tips Video Source & Information:
Vanessa Selbst is an American former professional poker player with more than $11.9 million in career earnings. She is one of only three female poker players to have won three WSOP bracelets (Barbara Enright and Nani Dollison) but is the only player to have achieved this feat only in “open” events.
Selbst is arguably one of the best female poker players in history. A former PokerStars Team Pro, she retired from poker in 2018.
“Poker has given me so much over the last 12 years,” she said at the time. “It has been intellectually challenging, exhilarating, fun, and extremely rewarding. It has given me the opportunity to travel to places I might never have experienced, and forge friendships with people from all over the world.”
Since retiring, she has had two children with her wife Miranda Foster, who she married in 2013.

Love Vannessa
I'm not sure about his plan to start with poker. Teaching people to beat low stakes cash or tournaments would be sooo difficult. You'd have to not only find people with the right aptitude, who love the game enough to study and play for a year or two or more and consistently study. I mean how long to become profitable? Someone with average intelligence, with a lot of hard work and coaching, perhaps at least a year right? So that's a year invested in someone, minimum a year who may never make it and actually become profitable. Even if you were really careful with selecting people, you'd have to estimate that the ones who stuck it out, they'd be a what less than 10 or 5% maybe even lower success rate. Poker is just so difficult. I think Dan's perspective is slightly skewed having achieved the success he has in poker.
Surely a more viable option would be to teach people how to start their own small businesses that are viable for their location. That would surely have a much higher success rate and not require the immense amount of effort for the small chance of success that poker offers. I'm sure there'd be many life lessons in learning how to start and run a small business too.
It was funny to watch Jungle ramble on and on and blow Vanessa's mind lol. I love Jungle
Hopefully she saves up for a new mic…ouch.
Awesome get. She was ahead of a lot people
Glad to see Doug is doing well.
she is as annoying as every other lezy. she doesnt even know the book written by colleagues at susquehana?!
The problem here is that Dan is underestimating how hard it is to profit from a zero sum game like poker. Encouraging people to view poker as a money-making opportunity is absurd. The vast majority of people should just be playing poker for fun – they are not going to win in the long run. Even with Dan as your coach, there's no guarantee that you'll have the personal attributes necessary to be a winning poker player.
Here's what you SHOULD do Dan, if you want to pass on your poker knowledge in a philanthropic way. Rather than trying to build entire poker villages, focus on identifying potential prodigies in 3rd world countries one by one, and take them under your wing. For example, find the three best math students in the village, and teach THEM how to play poker.
