It Would Appear That Ladies Are Taking The Lead At Playing Poker (Part 1)
It would seem that the poker championship playing field of 2010 could well be shaping up to be a full on ladies year. For beginners, the NBC Heads Up Championship spot was taken home by Annie Duke who may have been encouraged by her fellow heroine Vanessa Rousso’s runner-up finish the year before. Early April saw Liv Boeree take it all in the EPT San Remo which featured the largest EPT main-event field in all of the competition’s history; and last but certainly not least, Vanessa Selbst did some serious damage to the competition at the NAPT Mohegan Sun, walking away with $750,000 in prize money. 2010 is definitely seeing the women take the lead early on, and as we approach mid-year one might wonder if the boys will ever be able to catch up.
So what can be behind these ladies taking the cake? Maybe for Selbst it could be her luck, perhaps it could possibly be chance, or maybe it is due to her fantastic academic background that draws her to the table. Selbst first came on the scene in 2007 when she finished third in the heads-up championship at the World Series of Poker.It was during the Omaha event just a year later that she picked up her first bracelet, then seemed to disappear off the scene. How about a holiday to a tropical island? Maybe a year off to work at improving her game? Hardly, Selbst took off to hit the books.
Selbst made the decision that poker was losing the fun a bit and she missed the intellectual stimulation of school.Selbst decided to return to Yale to pursue a degree in law as a human rights lawyer (she had already earned one degree and subsequently Fulbright scholarship). If you think about it, this career choice – skilled poker shark turned lawyer – isn’t that strange of a call as some of the qualities lawyers and successful poker players share are surprisingly complementary- analytical style, logical thought process- it makes sense.
She can always join in with Internet Poker and perhaps have a game of PKR Poker, or Everest Poker
