Vanessa Rousso Boot Camp

Just a quick post about the Vanessa Rousso poker course I attended in Biloxi. She is very energetic and passed on some valuable information about sizing up your opponents and looking for tells at the poker table. Chad Brown (her husband) appeared for a couple of minutes on his way to play a tournament in the adjacent room. Chad Brown is also a very successful poker professional and is considered one of the better all-around players in the different variations of poker.

I don't think it would be right to go into any real details of the information she presented since she charges for her seminars. I learned a lot of things that I would never have thought of before attending her course. She told an interesting story about playing in the $25,000 World Poker Tour event at the Bellagio in Las Vegas a few years ago. She financed her entry fee by selling "shares" in herself. If she did good in this major poker tournament then she would make poker her career. If she didn't do well then she would finish law school. She finished 7th in Las Vegas and took home over $250,000 and the rest is history.
