Do you like Vanessa Rousso? - Poker News

Negreanu apparently said on his site that "everyone likes her" in reference to the new female HSP host, which all evidence is pointing to being vanessa rousso.

so it's a simple question - yes or no.
i've expressed no opinion in this post.

If it's really going to be someone not in the booth with Gabe, that doesn't sound like a role that a poker pro would take. I'm going to keep suggesting Shana Hiatt.

Did you decide to ignore the part where Daniel mentions the new person won't be discussing strategy?

Yes, because she can win a big tournament and she's 7/10, but how are her cash game skills?

I don't like or dislike her. I saw her on PAD omce (sitting next to Harmon, who had this pained expression on her face every time VR started talking), and since then I have never been able to listen to her. I cannot image I could listen to HSP if she were commenting.

1 - even if by some miracle it's not her on HSP in the end, it's probably still an interesting question.

2 - looks like if the question had been "do you like hearing vanessa rousso talk?" the result would have tilted a good deal further in one particular direction. but the quote we're testing is "everyone likes her"

Kev, do you have a link? I went on his site and couldn't find it in his twitter or blog pages.

TIA.

As a dork I know other dorks when I see them. And Vanessa is a dork.
On TV she seems nice and all...but awkward in her conversation.

I think she is a nice person, she would just be terrible for the show. Can anyone produce one video where she says something funny or jokingly needles someone? Everything she says is very straightforward and humble which isn't unusual since she is young and not buddies with a ton of the well-known pros. It's just a bad idea to have an announcer be someone that is actually a young poker player coming up in the business that probably won't say anything bad about any of the players playing.

I don't generally like or dislike her but in this context? No, I wouldn't like her to host HSP.

Though it is very unlikely that she will be doing that.
