Shaun Deeb, one of the top online poker players in multi-table tournaments, says he’s calling it quits.
If Deeb stands by his word here, on a 2+2 thread he started yesterday, we’ve seen him for the last time in the big tourneys online. Deeb posted:
“yah Im burntout I hate them I’m done with them. I cant win live everyone was always right I cant win online I just ran good everyone was always right. I’m gunna take rest of year off hopefully and go do something else yah poker was good for a while but **** I hate what I’ve become”
If he is indeed done, poker is losing one of its most consistent winners in MTTs. Playing as “tedsfishfry” on Full Tilt and “shaundeeb” on PokerStars, he has racked up about $4 million in cashes and $1.5 million in profits. A look at his officialpokerrankings.com stats paint part of the picture of why he’s at least taking a break from tourneys, as he’s had had a bad few months at the tables. Check out his 120-day stats here and here.
Deeb posted later in the 2+2 thread that he is not done with poker, but is done with tourneys: “guys Im not quitting poker Im quitting tourneys. I know I got a lot of you into this etc and motivated you but Ive lost all motivation and dont see it coming back in a long time theres little to gain from mtts for me in the future at least life ev wise.”
If you check out Deeb’s Twitter, it still says “I’m a pokerplayer who travels the world playing live and online tourneys.” Although we’re guessing updating his twitter page isn’t on the top of his to-do list.
Deeb did play at the most recent European Poker Tour stop in Vilamoura, Portugal, this week, and he already busted.
