Huge respect for what she did here. Poker players tend to not be the best public speakers, because of the very introverted nature of the job, but she did a great job! You get the equivavalent of 3/4 of a poker book in a free youtube video in under 40 mins. The internet is god's gift to the poker community...
+Jonathan Andrianavalona I think he's right, I wouldn't study for a lawyer if I wasn't able to speak in public successfully -_- she had to have the skill before deciding to do it.
Vanessa selbst if u can see this thank you so much and you are by far my favorite player right now. I really appreciate this and wish I could spend one day with you!
Great content, great presentation. I'll watch it again. Most poker videos over 5 minutes put you to sleep. Not this one. I think the hype about Vanesa might be true.
Everyone hates on Vanessa because supposedly everyone else does. Hop off the bandwagon and give Vanessa the credit she deserves. She is giving us extremely valuable information and people choose to write negative comments about her. Fucking followers.
Vanessa's only weakness is the she tends to play live poker the same way she would play online....Like 5 bet bluffs and stuff like that. If you get 4 bet in live poke 99% of the time they aren't bluffing where as online it's like 50/50 or 60/40 for example....
One of the reasons for what I respect so much "this guy" is because "this guy" don't fucking cares at all about what some idiots think about her. She thinks for hereself and bend the idiots that are more interested in look like a "poker player" that in the game. Yes, I like her a lot. By the way, GREAT STUFF.
Vanessa, you're obviously too smart for me at the table. I'm just going to check-shove every time against you because you're too good and it's scary. This is obviously if you decide to slum it at the micros.
I have no clue why there is so much hate for her. See her as a poker player and not as a female. None of you guys who watch this video has even close enough skill to mess with her
It's not because that she's a female. THere's been plenty of female players who people do not hate. The reason for the hate of Vanessa has always been her attitude.
'fold to 2 barrels" in her world perhaps, in ours they shove with Q high flush draw if they think you will call! jsut too many donks, they call with 2 outs or even 1 out and HIT! despite her ADD a good presnetation overall.
I'm sorry, but I do not see image as a valid poker ploy. Most of the most unpleasant players I've seen (including Vanessa) are the ones who consider their image. Look at all the nice top celebrity players like DNegs, Doyle, Ivey, Tony G, Laak, Corren, Bouree, etc. They seem like open honest people, happy in themselves. Sorry, but I would never take any advice from Vanessa Selbst about image!
She's terrible. She is just part of the era of poker that happened before people learned how to play properly. She would fail to win even at 20 cent big blinds online now.

+Sequential Thinker She's a lawyer, communication is a "must" in that field.
Your logic is stupid.
LMFAO, nice try

+Flip Zilip absolutely! i just found it and it's awesome!

I’ve watched this video once or twice a year since 2016. Such a phenomenal presentation.

Damn do I really want to listen to this????
Isn't this the standard advice we've heard thousands of times before ?
whats doug polk doing up there
You dont say! I would confuse her so badly.

this is why doug polk is a winner
You can make fun of her all you want but fact is she’s the winner and you’re not

Hey it’s Doug Polk
She's got that alpha male "image" down cold!
Notice she says "she" instead of they when referring to a player.
She's merciless I never want to play against her.
She's terrible. She is just part of the era of poker that happened before people learned how to play properly. She would fail to win even at 20 cent big blinds online now.
Never really liked this Selbst guy. I do like his twin Doug though.
What whats this persons proper pronoun,oh! Douglas j polk!!!
Vanessa Selbst's image = A man.
no wonder she's a kazillionaire...
He does a good job but Vanessa is a weird name for a guy.
funny she talks about image yet her fashion is literally the worst imaginable
Most hated player in the game today.
