Default Re: Shannon Shorr thinking of quitting ...

Shorr is a classic example of learning through success; I have several friends who went down a similar path and are now broke or close to it. The guy was a breakeven SNG player for a very long time, went nuts in a few MTTs and all of a sudden he views himself as one of the best. A lot of others fit this mold.

A reputable source told me that he would play high stakes chinese poker and overlook straight flush royalties. He may be a nice guy and cool, but he has far too many leaks in his game/lifestyle to be complaining so adamantly. I have no sympathy for a guy who has run better than 99% of us and now thinks the games are unbeatable. Once he joins reality again I predict he'll take a different view.

Are you arguing hearsay about Shannon's Chinese Poker game, correlate to his actual poker skill?
