Vanessa (#2)

Vanessa shows off her HUPLO skills in her second Duel video, 2-tabling $600PLO vs. a very aggressive opponent. Lots of discussion of preflop equity and valuebetting vs. players who have exploitable tendencies. A special congrats to Vanessa who, two days before the release of this vid, won her first WSOP tournament in PLO!

Selbst's aces held up to earn her a spot in the 'sweet sixteen.'

Sweet, ship bracelet! You def deserve it. I think it looks so balla in the preview pic for the video too. It's like keys, water, boring papers, ZOMG WSOP BRACELET.

thanks for the HU plo video, v nice to see, and congrats on ur recent wsop success. Not done with the video yet, and proly gonna have to rewatch a few times cos plo moves so damn fast, but had one question so far.

At 31:30 on the left table, u MR and call a RR with T734dd and the flop comes 779ss. He checks and u start to bet but then check behind trips. Just wondering why you would check here vs anyone, and more specifically vs a station like this villian? Thanks

edit: one suggestion for future HU plo vids is to just do 1 table. It could just be me/my lack of experience in PLO but it was really hard to follow 2 tables even tho duck did a great job explaining

Honestly, when I first signed on here and saw the instructors I was shocked to see a girl instructor. I thought affirmative action got Vanessa the position. What could I learn from a girl, I thought. Then I heard Vanessa in a vid with Krantz when he played Eric from CR HU and I was blown away by your intellect! After hearing your thoughts and the way you can easily articulate those thoughts, I became a huge fan. I have seen all your vids and I can't wait to see more. I have learned more advanced concepts from your vids than probably any other instructor here and CR. I was not surprised at all when I heard you won a bracelet. Congrads on the bracelet and more vids please so I can pick your brain. You are a genius!
