Shaun Deeb Quits Tournament Poker
Posted by WinAtPoker | November 29, 2009 | Posted in: Online Poker News | Comments (0)OK, so however you play winning online poker, here’s how NOT to play it. Don’t play it until you burn out. That’s what happened to soon-to-be flash-in-the-pan online poker star Shaun Deeb who, after delivering a series of depressing shows, announced that has decided to quit playing in poker tournaments indefinitely.
This is the same Shaun Deeb who turned an initial deposit in an online poker site of $30 into a $33,000 bankroll within just a couple of weeks. Under the uncomplicated username ‘shaundeeb’(PokerStars) and the less obvious ‘tedsfishfry’ (Full Tilt Poker), Deeb has won millions in online poker, with his biggest win being $81,812.50 in a January ’09 PokerStars Super Tuesday.
Possibly part of the reason Deeb burnt out is because he was known to play in as many as 30 tournaments at the same time, averaging 20 tournaments a day some days.
OK, now here’s the fine print at the bottom you’ve all been waiting for: he’s not quitting poker entirely; just poker tournaments. Ah, that makes much more sense.
