Why don't the haters give Vanessa Rousso any credit? - Poker News

She won a 5K open event at Borgata, won a Poker after Dark Title, and now just beat

Paul Wasicka, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

in the NBC Heads Up before losing to Huck Seed.

She really deserves some credit for her recent accomplishments....

Do you think mentioning her winning a 6 person SNG is going to help validate your case Allen?

But, I do agree she should be given a LITTLE slack.

*Shrug* She seems like a decently good player.

Misogynists mostly.

Excellent thread. This topic just wasn't being discussed in enough detail over in the thread about the NBC HU event.

i dont see what she deserves 'credit' for. she plays in a TON of MTT's, putting up the results of the ones you mentioned doesn't seem all that impressive. i dont hate on her and im sure shes good for poker in some way. im just not gonna be duped into thinking shes some highly skilled player by the poker media.

shes maybe one of the top woman players after duck and maybe harman i guess. but theres not really that many good women players, so thats not much of an acomplishment.

She should not deserve any compliments when it comes down to poker expertise. That's all there is to it.

everyoen who rags on her you guys are a ****ing joke. She's better than 99% of the people that will post in this thread and its just sick how many jealous haters there are, but w/e thats just the nature of mtt poker i guess.

By no means is she a world class top tier pro, but the amt. of flack she takes is ridiculous, NVG is so pathetic. If you idiots actually tried to get good instead of bashing people who have much more success/are better than you, maybe you'd be playing in the tournaments with her instead of being the busto railbird clowns you are.

/end rant.

You fool, not everyone who's on the magical TV is there because he/she deserved it.

You probably think if Dr. Phil and Oprah had a child it would be smarter then Einstein and Da Vinci combined. LOL

I have nothing against her (besides the whole Aaron Been episode) she's just not that good at mtts or poker, master in GT or not.
