Does not compute.
pro·fes·sion /prəˈfeSHən/
Noun: A paid occupation, esp. one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification.
Vanessa Selbst is deserving of a Pokerstars salary, despite her ugly... uhm... personality. She's put in the work and has the results that are correlative of a "professional".
Liv is deserving of an honorable mention at best, but because of her above-average looks she is placed on a poker pedestal, which is justifiable to droolers like yourself because "Hey, what about San Remo? Have YOU ever won a 10k?"
Not to say I don't get it, cause really, I do... She's the most attractive girl to ever win a $10k, and therefore the boner factor goes up 1mm%.
I guess the reality is that pretty girls rarely have the brainpower to excel at an intellectually challenging game. Why? Well, it's a lot of hard work and devotion, and why bother when you can either a.) Bink a $10k and get the same level of fame as someone who has consistent, time-proven results, or b.) Find a rich man to take care of you and not give a **** how intelligent you are.
All that aside, it's my understanding that Liv is of above-average intellect, therefore option a.) is the most likely scenario, and the lack of results after San Remo would back that logic up - it's just not worth the effort, especially when she sincerely knows how lucky she was to win in the first place.
