Shahram (Shawn) Sheikhan
this guy has cashed $1,041,783 since 2001. He has shown on HSP that he is not a dominating cash game player.
my question is.... is he a legit pro, or does he have an alternate source of income?

[/ QUOTE ] He owns several businesses around the Las Vegas area. And remember, 600,000 of that cash out was for his 2005 WSOP finish.

In an interview, he said he loves to gamble but his favourite game is not hold'em, it's stud. He also got 2nd place in the stud WSOP event. [/ QUOTE ] Prior to the 2006 WSOP, Sheikhan was a regular at Caesars Palace playing 400-800 triple draw & badugi.

Re: Shahram (Shawn) Sheikhan
I saw a clip of him once where he proved that he was +EV at blackjack.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't see how HSP proves anything oneway or the other. He is playing at higher stakes vs much tougher competition then he faces in his normal games. He seems to be a jerk but that doesn't mean he isn't a good player in his comfort zone. RZ

And that game doesn't exactly feature too many great NLHE cash players either.

[/ QUOTE ] From what I understand the games at the higher levels are always rotation games and NLHE if played at all is only 1 of 7 or even 8 other games. High Stakes NLHE looks great on TV but it isn't a game any of those guys play regularly. Also playing without a cap is changing the play as well, DN couldn't have bullied the table with his million bucks in the first season if they had been playing thier normal game. I love the show but it is a made for TV event and that does alter things. From what I have read Todd Brunson was the big winner in Season 3. RZ
