Poker pro Vanessa Rousso and I are hanging in the players’ lounge at the PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour [NAPT] at the Venetian discussing what a waste of time it is to complain about things you can’t control. It really gets her going.
“It’s actually more than a waste of time,” says Rousso. “It’s actually detrimental because it affects your psyche and it affects your emotions and makes you a less optimal decision maker. It clouds your judgment. If I ever get sick of poker, I could sort of be a life coach.”
