Re: Shannon Shorr thinking of quitting ...
This story gets repeated hundreds if not thousands of times each year.
Step 1: Go deep into a few tournaments when you start out
Step 2: Over estimate your poker and money management capabilities
Step 3: Come to the realization that live tournament poker, after expenses and taxes, is almost impossible to come out ahead on (esp. since losses cannot be carry forward)
Step 4: Wake up to reality and start having a productive life and relationships.
You've got to at least give Shannon props for going through all of these steps on a public forum, whatever his original intentions for doing so were.
