Is poker only for men?! NO, especially if you ask Vanessa Selbst

If you're into poker circles, you'll often hear good things about Vanessa Selbst. Many describe the American woman as "amazing", "amazing", etc. Of course, this is no accident. Vanessa is ahead of many others in at least two indicators. First, she is among the not-so-many women breaking into one of the most male-dominated card games. And secondly, her breakthrough doesn't come by accident. Her style seems recognizable, and her successes are indisputable.

The New Jersey-born lady has a great mind. Her education shows it. She graduated with a degree in political science from one of the most prestigious universities in the USA - Yale.

Her mind definitely helps her in poker. Selbst is the first woman to win 3 World Series of Poker bracelets. Only 61 people in the world have more. But none have her accomplishment from the main event of the North American Poker Tour - first place two years in a row. With such results, she became the first woman to reach number 1 in the Global Poker Index rankings among all professionals in the world. Her total live tournament earnings are over $11 million. Not bad…

Unfortunately, in 2018, Vanessa announced her retirement from professional poker and continued solely as an amateur. Born into a Jewish family, Sebst turned to the world of business investment. The American thanked the game and described it as "fun" that can be very draining from an intellectual point of view. May each of us find at least one such profitable pastime...
