Unless she desperately needs the money I don't see the point in going in.If it was in the UK no one would have a clue about poker players but I think in the US they are quite well known and having a camera in your face for 24 hours a day is not usually a good decision. As for the question "what are you afraid of"........she is likely to see many of her answers while in the house!

Hello my friends and fellow mobsters
Well that´s a surprise but I think his a way of getting more exposure to her maybe she is trying to change her career to TV acting or something like that
She can be also taking part just for pure fun to have a new experience I will try for sure to pick her performance Don´t forget to be happy and enjoy life

aahahaa
Is a surprise not for me but for many people, because persons like this is taking shows around the world to jump to another carrer or to grow a litle more their carrers. In this case maybe she want to grow is skills for poker face and the part psychological.
Beside that is one more to maybe build is new carrer or just to get down like many in this kind of tv shows.

She is a good player and I think she has min cashed in this years WSOP,and has earned over $3million in tournaments,so I doubt she would be broke but her best does seem to have been 4 or 5 years ago. Hopefully it will bring more women to the game as the women turnout seems to be very low this year.

why you doubt? what 3 mil isnt spendable? Lindgren had much more and he claim bancrupsy several time...3 mil is nothing for some people... it can be spend in matter of days... buy huge house, expencive car, like that she buyed few years ago ( lamburgini galiardo for 300k$) play some high stakes poker and there you go 3 mil $ goes to waste....
Vanessa is good and very reasonable so thinking about her to go broke is like thinking about Mike Matusow would stay quiet during 1 hour while playing poker...

Unless she is paid very good on the side to play in this i really dont know why she accept to do this Big Brother think. Unless she lost big playing poker and she is very desparate for a little bit of money. Anyway good luck to her on that show and her poker life.

he show will be aired on CBS three times weekly until season's end, when the eventual winner will be awarded a tidy $500,000 cash prize. In the US version of the show, there is absolutely no public voting to evict candidates, the "houseguests" themselves vote out one of their own each week.

So, a poker pro on Big Brother! Could this be the start of a new relationship between reality(!) TV and poker? Maybe the plan is that Vanessa will teach everyone to play poker as a trial and the best player gets a nice treat from the lovely TV company who generally treat the contestants really well but the contestants don't think so?
I agree with anybody here who thinks this wasn't a good decision from her. When another female poker-player - Annie Duke - went on to the Celebrity Apprentice years ago it was far more the worst PR step in her carrier because the game showed how cunning and arrogant she is. The BB is different but not that different IMO - nothing good could come out of it for a professional.
Posted by LadyFloppy: 'Big Brother' predictions: Vanessa Rousso early frontrunner to win
While this season of "Big Brother" has barely begun, we have a clear frontrunner to take the title. Our readers think that poker player Vanessa Rousso has a winning hand and give her leading odds of 17/10. Among the other 15 contestants, Steve Moses is the likely runner-up with odds of 6/1...
Thank you for your precious copypasta. Are the argentinians here actually have anything original to say at all?
Posted by ddblt1970: Honestly, I definitely didn't expect this one! At first I thought it was a joke. But it seems it is not...
Honestly I still have hard time figuring out what does she expect to gain from this, besides some sponsoring deals or she just doing this intentionally to move away poker toward the entertainment business. Can't really tell. One nastier than the other.

"bowie1984" What is your problem with Argentines? The same forum copy and paste other forums or news magazine specialized in poker, as this thread, which is an exact copy of a magazine specializing I read several of his publications in other threads, and always upset with the same, if you do not like what someone publishes just do not read And regarding Argentine publications, try to avoid comments that all Argentines give us balls lining his words If you have a phobia of Argentines, go to annoy your fellow Hungarians, and not f**k more
