#46 Sean Snyder: The High Stakes Mixed Games Misfit

Today’s guest on CPG is one of the premiere live & online poker tournament players in the world (With over 9.3 million in live MTT cashes), Shannon Shorr.It makes sense that Shannon would be special guest number 200 because his first CPG appearance is still, to this day, one of the top-3 most listened to episodes in CPG history. If you haven’t yet checked that one out, I highly suggest hitting the back catalog directly after today’s show.In my experience with Shannon, he’s a model of thoughtfulness, consistency, humility, and (Maybe the most important attribute of professional poker players) determination. He’s been on this ride for almost two decades with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.In today’s show with the great Shannon Shorr, we’re gonna dive deep into how painful the life of a traveling professional poker player can be, Shannon’s experience being a proud new papa, how easy it is to get frustrated when you’re on the grind even when things are seemingly going well, and much, MUCH more!So now, without any further ado, I bring to you one of the very best poker players in the world… the one and only Shannon Shorr.To learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/free-nuffle-promotionNew CPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt

Today’s guest on CPG has two WSOP gold bracelets, has cashed for $3.5 million in live MTTs, and is one of the coolest and most genuine humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting to know… Brandon Shack-Harris.So I have a New Year’s lesson I wanna share with you before you dive into today’s show.I took some time off from my usual slate of podcasts throughout the holidays and recorded just a handful of episodes. Around mid-December (When this episode was originally recorded) my burning desire for cranking out tons of weekly episodes was starting to wane. The story I told myself was that the CPG Wolf project needed most of my waking energy and anything that took away from that was an unnecessary distraction.And I believed that story right up until the moment I pressed record with Brandon Shack-Harris.As I found myself feeling fully present and totally immersed in Brandon’s story I was reminded of all the core reason why the CPG podcast is my passion project:Having conversations with folks like Brandon makes me feel more alive, lights me up on the inside, and genuinely makes my day.And so, before you hear the story about the time Brandon was almost a member of the band Muse, the unanticipated way his poker journey began, or the counter-intuitive method he uses to improve his poker skills I just wanted to share with you this lesson:Remember to make space in your life to do the things that make you feel alive inside, even if your brain and central nervous system push back. Life is too short and precious to do anything otherwise.Now, without any further ado, I bring to you an amazing poker player and even more amazing human being… the great Brandon Shack-Harris.To learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/free-nuffle-promotionNew CPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt
