Poker pros are constantly on the go, arriving in different countries to compete in various poker tournaments or logging online at all times of the day to compete in tournaments or at the high limit tables. Many times poker pros can get burned out and feel the need to take a break. This is what has happened to Shaun Deeb. The poker pro recently announced he is going to take a break from the game for awhile.

Deeb is taking a break from tournament poker as his earning s top out at just over $300,000. Deeb commented he is burned out. He stated: “Yah, I’m burntout. I hate them. I’m done with them. 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.”

Deeb has stated that he is not quitting poker totally, he is just taking a break from tournament play. it will be interesting to see how long Deeb will be able to hold out from playing in a poker tournament. my guess is he will begin online and then eventually make his way back to live tournament play.
