Cherish Andrews is the next Vanessa Selbst

Cherish Andrews is the next Vanessa Selbst

Her results in the past few years is astounding. Strong understanding of GTO and has great instincts. Unafraid to make unconventional moves, very aggressive. I really think she is the next Vanessa Selbst and will eventually surpass her as the most successful female tournament player of all time.

Hi Cherish.

No, you're not.


Has Vanessa done anything in the past 10 years? I remember she came out as egotistical, rude, etc - won some tournies early on but haven't heard of her lately. Not really someone you'd want to become

Just recently, Vanessa lost a well-publicized online challenge to Eric Persson..

She hasn't done much in poker but she has a law degree from Yale. I'm sure she is lawyering it up somewhere.


She said she retired from poker in 2018. But she has a couple of tournament cashes after that. So, who knows about poker.

While she has a Yale Law degree I have not heard one way or the other that she ever sat the bar.


I believe she's been working in finance since 2018

Hi Brock


MIT/Yale Law, aggro in Bobby's Room now works at Jane Street, a HFT firm chock full of uber geniuses, ppl who solve games and puzzles. Not a place for some regular grinder with 1550+ SAT scores.

Going Infinite is a great primer on both Jane Street and the toxicity of effective altruism. EA is a recycled and tendentiously argued cathartic release for super geniuses/self-righteous types attempting to justify their apex predator behavior. All those types have been trying to absolve their guilt since the chimp scene of Space Odyssey. A problem as old as time.

Moon-Watcher looked downright proud of his new powers when he threw that bone in the air. It's the guile and charade that makes these folks truly revolting making up this malarky to justify their con. First thing i thought when i first heard SBF stammer through it was what a crock of ****


Vanessa Selbst: $12 million in career cashes. Number 126 on the all-time money list. Former number one player in the world on the GPI scale. Three bracelets. Yale undergrad/Yale Law.

The crushers in this thread: Not someone you’d ever really want to become.

LOL


Thats because her (lack of) personality, not her results


Can Cherish fold aces full on the river in the opening round of a big buyin multi day donkament?

No

Spoiler
Show

and the reason is because she sold her action on PokerStake at 1.3 MU she doesn't need to.


I was never a Selbst fan as a result of her antics and personality, but her poker accomplishments put Cherish Andrews to shame. Still plenty of ways to go before her name enters the same city as Selbst, much less the same room.

That said, this Andrews has had a nice couple of years and certainly shows a lot of potential. Her biggest scores are still only in 500-600 player tourneys plus the recent 70 player high roller. If she can hit a big score (1M+) at WSOP this summer, I'm sure she'll start getting more attention.


Vanessa had it harder as she didn't just get to bang some top tier male crusher and steal his ranges/frequencies/esoteric live reads while simultaneously securing backing.
The Andrews and Bicknels of the world will always have this disclaimer.


Unlike male poker players, who share that stuff with their poker crew without having to **** each other.

Or maybe they do?

Selbst did make the call lol. But props to her for thinking seriously about folding.

Lol. Cherish was GPI female player of the year before she dated Brock Wilson.


I saw where she said she is playing $25k's this summer. Does she have 100% of herself?

I never give people any credit at all for thinking about folding. It costs nothing. Either you find a fold or you don’t.

No! Go look on Poker Stake. She sells for every event.


It will be a tall order to surpass Selbst.
