Going Pro

During a conversation we recently had with Team PokerStars member Vanessa Rousso, we discussed her law degree and the probability that she will never see the inside of a courtroom on a professional basis. Very few people will get the option to either be a very good lawyer or an excellent professional poker player. We love Vanessa, but she is an absolute freak of nature: one of those annoying people who are good at whatever they do. For most people being able to choose between a conventional career and a life as a professional poker player is simply not a luxury available to us.
