Vanessa Kade is once again making poker news headlines. This time with a Twitter post listing her requirements for a new boyfriend.
Sorry @VanessaKade but you left me no choice with this one pic.twitter.com/Bn0MMzSx6j

Know several recently single female poker players & when discussing prospects, lists are short.
Name a successful, single pro poker player who wants a relationship, is kind, smart, fun, cute, not sleazy, good person, no drug/alcohol problems.
Who would you date if you were us?

The Canadian professional looks to be particularly fussy with what she expects from a life partner, and was deservedly teased on Twitter by Will Jaffe.
Is Vanessa Kade too Fussy?
Kade’s tweet sought help for not just her, but her friends too. They seem to have this feeling of entitlement that “only the best” need apply!
“kind, smart, fun, cute, not sleazy, good person, no drug/alcohol problems.”
Only perfect will do eh? It’s possible that the poker pair of Spraggy and Marle Cordeiro has got a few female singletons jealous.
Will Jaffe saw the funny side and immediately posted another roasting video in the style of his recent dig at Bill Perkins for being a drama queen.
“…and that’s how murders happen!”
Who Would Date a Poker Player?
Given what we all know about the poker life it’s surprising that Kade bothered to specify that she and her friends would be best-suited to pair up with another pro player.
“Other pros will have the same flexible schedule and ability (and usually desire) to travel, and being immersed in it with someone who is also actively trying to improve helps both of you.”
Sounds like she’s being way too idyllic here. As if everything will happen perfectly in two poker careers happening side-by-side.
Irish pro David Lappin couldn’t help poking fun at his friend Olivier Busquet.
If you can see past his bushy eyebrows (I’m not sure he can) @olivierbusquet is surely the most eligible bachelor.

When one poster suggested there should be a dating app for poker players, poker blogger Kat Arnsby’s response was perfect.
They'd all be complaining about the rakeback within 8 minutes of signing up.

What About Dan Bilzerian for Kade?
It didn’t take long before someone tried to be smart and suggested Dan Bilzerian.
For those that didn’t know, Bilzerian managed to upset Kade by calling her a hoe (sic) on his first day as a GGPoker brand ambassador.
❌ successful pro poker player
❌ kind
❌ smart
❌ cute
❌ not sleazy
❌ good person
❓no drug/alcohol problemsyah, just about a fail across the board

That’s some burn from the Canadian!
