Could Vanessa Kade Become PokerStars’ Next Team Pro?
Visualization techniques played a key role in Kade's preparations before taking down PokerStars' Sunday Million last year.
Celebrating one year since Vanessa Kade took down the PokerStars Sunday Million for over a million dollars, she revealed that, ahead of her win, she would visualize winning the event — as well as becoming a PokerStars Team Pro.
To date, at least one of these dreams has come true.
As per the PokerStars blog, Kade says:
I also read a bit about other mental exercises including visualization and tried an activity where I wrote the words: “I am so happy and grateful now that I have won the Sunday Million and am a PokerStars Team Pro.” Not a bracelet. Not a ring. Not the WSOP Main Event. The Sunday Million.
PokerStars signing Kade as a Team Pro would certainly make sense. Kade currently does not have an ambassadorship in place, having recently parted ways with ACR.
Could Kade’s visualization techniques work for a second time? Will PokerStars sign her?
According to LinkedIn, Kade resided in British Columbia, CA, where she can play PokerStars’ global site and defend her title this Sunday.
The operator is also planning to launch PokerStars Ontario in the coming weeks — if she was willing to move east, she could even be the first ambassador for this fledgling new site.
