Shawn Sheikhan - Another Amarillo Slim?

[kinboshi]

I think the US forum rumour mill is suggesting that he got done for pulling a marginally underage girl in a nightclub a few years back i.e. 17 years old or so. Dunno if thats true, but it doesn't sound as bad as first impressions would suggest.

If that's the case, then it's nothing like what Mr Preston was accused of.  How old was he at the time?

of course it's nothing like it, the titles dangerous

There is a question mark.

so what?   it's what it implies, and then everyone talks about his "image" thats why i'm wondering who he's sponserd by because if knowone then why the fuck does give a shit about his image, hes a proffessional gambler for ffs, now although hes got a public image as most proffessional poker players do now days he doesnt rely on it, need it or use it to make his living like an entertainer, what some people need to remember is that the T.V came to the poker players not the other way around thus unsponserd proffessionals shouldnt have to give a shit what the public think of them

i read about one live donkament a while back where everyone refused to play until Mr Slim left the building, but I understand he was getting rounds of applause at this year's WSOP.

i also read an exert in some mag from this new book by the swimming with devilfish author where the blurb is talking about him asking tough questions about his conviction, but unless they missed a chunk from the exert he doesn't actually get an answer!

Yes, I read the article, and then re-read it looking for those 'tough questions'.  I didn't see the answers or the questions...guess they might be in the book, although like you said - the intro to the article mentioned those 'tough questions'.

What does it imply?  Do we know the facts of the case?  Does the OP?  Therefore, is this a case similar to Amarillo Slim, or is it something different?  Hence the question mark...
