Shaun Deeb and a few other men played in the WSOP 2010 Ladies Event and received some criticism for this idea.

In Deeb’s video statement, he explains his reasons for this rebellion and makes a point against gender separated bracelets events (which I agree on).

In Deeb’s own words: “Poker has no pussy.” *

Where’s the drag I wonder?

I also agree with Deeb that possible repercussions against these guys would have no grounds. Once they’re allowed to buy in to the tournament, the organizers can’t possibly punish them without being inconsistent.

With that said, I don’t get it when Deeb’s getting all upset about the negative reactions from the organizers and security staff.

I mean, you made your point, kudos for that, but you force your way into an event for which you’re not eligible, what do you expect.

Lastly, there are a few things in the Shaun Deeb Show that I don’t get.

1. Define drag

They say Deeb played in drag. If this is true, it’s done with a really light hand I must say. See pic above.

I guess they’re referring to his tank top that just might be a tad feminine if you look really close. For the rest, this is just your regular poker player with male boobs and cowboy hat, right?

2. What’s with the Tiger Woods imitation?

Deeb’s statement is brought forward in much the same awkward way as Tiger Woods’ speak to the nation recently.

First I thought Deeb was making fun of Woods. But more likely, what we see is just a guy having the courage to sit in front of a web cam without being a trained media pro.

Hey, I’m just being a bitch i-t-c-h here.

All under-aged should play the senior event

About the WSOP Ladies Event, the fact that there was no man at the final table speaks for itself.

Now we’re curious to see how many young women will show up in dungarees to play the Seniors’ Event of this year’s World Series of Poker.
