No problem. Where do I send the bill? That 3 minute response will be $352.

David "The Knight" Sesso (known online as BlueKnight1 I think) is playing aswell. He's at the same table as new Bodog Pro Amanda Musumeci. He's not dragged up though.

Re: Shaun Deeb playing the ladies' event? Pictures to come!

more players should do this. i dont give a crap if they want a thousand ladies tournaments but to have it be a bracelet event is a complete joke.

Re: Shaun Deeb playing the ladies' event? Pictures to come!

is shaun deeb really going to give all winnings to charity? not just the first $20k or something? what will 1st place be - like $150k+? deeb would give all that away? he can't be worth like $10million or w/e most ppl would need to give $150k away imo.

also.. if he makes it deep this will have taken several days of grinding out of his potential vegas earning days. he will be missing other events that he can actually win and keep the money in. so is he trying to bust in this as a joke or actually playing to win and if so really giving it all to charity?

I'd like to meet the lawyer that could argue that the casino, who can refuse an individual for any reason, unfairly refused service to an individual.

Re: Shaun Deeb playing the ladies' event? Pictures to come!

**** the ladies only event, Deeb should win it and then throw the bracelet in the garbage.

To be clear, I'm all for women in poker, I just think this event is clearly insulting to women and hurts the game.

If there is a pattern where men, who play the "ladies" event, are being punished.... there is a STRONG case for discrimination.


The fact is, in our society, it has become socially acceptable to discriminate against men. For instance, look at sitcoms from the past (1970s) and compare them to today. Before, men were the foundation of the household and provided money, stability, and intelligence; more importantly, they counteracted the typical female who was frail, in constant need of guidance, and deeply concerned with trivial (but comical) things. Today's sitcoms are much different; Malcom in the middle, Modern Family, the Simpson, Family guy, etc... all shows where men are painted in a negative-light. The reason for this is simply because in comedies... you need the idiot, and misandrinistic attitudes are more socially acceptable than misogynistic attitudes (or racist attitudes that were commonplace in the 1950s media).

Thus, its not uncommon for people to be bewildered that the men would cry discrimination for anything (especially sexual harassment). But, federal laws are not ambiguous and they clearly prohibit a public business from holding sex-only events (and a casino doesn't qualify for any of the exemptions). Trust me, businesses have lost millions simply by adopting the same apathetic attitude the public has against "male discrimination" by thinking the courts won't take their claims seriously.



Honestly, the fact that they are "threatening" actions and not simply implementing a ban highlights the fact that they are doing their best to discourage men from entering the event, knowing they can't actually enforce a ban.

Re: Shaun Deeb playing the ladies' event? Pictures to come!

OK he's donating any winnings. What about the players on his table who paid $1000 to enter a Ladies Event and find Shaun f'in Deeb 3-betting them every hand. It's just spoiling the tournament for a lot of people. Douche move.
