There are poker pros who get into the Poker Hall of Fame, but, of course, there will be poker pros who are going to get into the Poker Hall of Shame. So, let us take a look at these poker pros who, in some way or another, have been abusive to both the dealers and the players, earning them a spot in the 2009 Poker Hall of Shame.

The Mouth

With three WSOP bracelets under his belt and over five million dollars in poker winnings, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow tainted his reputation by getting involved in selling drugs. Matusow was arrested in 2003 for having sold drugs to an undercover agent, and on 2004, he was jailed for six months. It would have been 10 years in prison had he not plead guilty to the charge of drug trafficking.

The Poker Pervert

Another poker pro who gave up his reputation of having won two WSOP bracelets and one and a half million dollars in poker winnings is Shahram “Poker Pervert” Sheikhan. He was imprisoned for having committed sexually-related crimes against children. Sheikhan is from Iran, and the US government has been trying to deport him back to his original country, but their efforts to deport him failed, all because an immigration judge ruled in favor of Sheikhan, the reason of which is that the Feds could not produce some important official paperworks relating to Sheikhan’s served time.

Chino

David Rheem, also known as Chino, is a poker pro from America. He got into the 2008 WSOP Main Event, and it can be said that he has more than four million dollars in poker winnings. The reason why he got into the 2009 Poker Hall of Shame is the fact that he has been found guilty on charges of burglary. He was also convicted of dealing in stolen property as well as robbery. He stayed in prison for four months and a probationary period of 30 months. In 2003, he found himself in deep trouble once again for trespassing.

Kid Poker

It might shock many poker fans out there, but Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu got into the list of Poker Hall of Shame for being racist and sexist. He has four WSOP bracelets under his belt and over twelve million dollars in poker winnings, but his disrespectful comments about Asians as well as women, calling them bitches, earns him a spot in last year’s 2009 Poker Hall of Shame.
