When Shannon Shorr talk about poker and his passion
He is considered as one of the young wonders of poker and whose future in this game is considered by many people as being assured. This is Shannon Shorr, only 27 years old but already has a great prizelist record. According to Moneywalker, Shorr is one of those who are the first to surf on online poker. Then he turns towards live poker. Admittedly, he has not the stature of a professional player like Phil Ivey for example. However, with nearly $ 5 million of gains in live, we can say that the man is above the average of amateur poker player. His course is impressive especially as this formidable poker player participates in all major events. Casinos, tables of big palaces in Europe, he frequented them all.
As he is on the Old Continent, he took the opportunity to make discoveries. This comes in his way of life which is not based on poker and its world but most importantly, to meet people, to see other cultures. Otherwise, Shannon Shorr does not follow the same path as other players. "Traveling is my priority," he says again. He has a particular fondness for Berlin because people there are nice, the city is always animated with bars, night clubs. About poker, he says he still advise young people to not become professional because poker became too difficult. Despite tempting offers, there are too little things to gain, even in tournaments like the WPT Prague where he was interviewed. We therefore identify a contradiction in his words because Shorr continues to practice and even frequent the world of professional poker.
