A series of poker boot camps are being launched in locations through out the globe hosted by Vanessa Rousso. These poker boot camps are set to start in 2010. Thousands of poker enthusiasts are expected to attend, hoping to gain insight on how a poker star made her wins.
Who is Vanessa Rousso?
Vanessa Rousso is a 27-year-old poker icon. In the few years she has been attending poker tournaments, Rousso has amassed over four million dollars in winnings. Rousso was the first female to ever make it to the finals of the NBC National Heads Up Poker Championship, where she came in second place. In addition to being a poker super-star, Rousso is also a spokeswoman for GoDaddy.com, and had a two-page spread in Sports Illustrated’s extremely popular Swimsuit Edition. She has also hosted televised poker tournaments, and will appear on “Bank of Hollywood.” A television show produced by e-channel and hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
Vanessa Rousso is now turning her sights towards teaching the skills of poker. She hopes to give her pupils a winning edge by using a combination of hands-on and instructional training about high-level poker strategy. According to Rousso, “My biggest passion outside of playing poker is in teaching poker strategy. I love watching that light bulb go off in my students’ minds when they discover something new.”
What is the Boot Camp About?
Vanessa Rousso’s boot camp aims to teach already-skilled poker players a higher level of strategy. The boot camp will encompass two types of training; lectures and hands-on experience. The lectures will all be held by Rousso, and will cover some of her own personal game theories. The hands-on training will work as a series of poker game stimulations where players will be allowed to try out the skills they learned during the lecture series.
When and Where the Boot Camps are Held
Vanessa Rousso’s first poker boot camp is being held in the Bahamas, at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. Rousso has dubbed this set of the boot camp circuit, “Strategy Symposium Under the Sun.”
The second in the poker boot camp set is being held in Biloxi, Mississippi. Hosted by Beau Ravage, “Poker Tournament Theory Boot Camp & Tournament” will last two days.
Rousso is currently working on the locations of several more boot camps to be held throughout 2010. These boot camps will all be hosted by a different location so poker players from around the globe can participate.
Any lectures or classes on poker are an excellent way for skilled poker players to up their game. A series held by a world-renowned poker player, who has a long resume of poker tournaments under her belt, is definitely worth the trip.
