Poker Pro Greg 'curtains' Shahaid Opens Up About Polyamorous Lifestyle


Greg 'curtains' Shahaid, a professional poker player and chess master, has publicly announced his polyamorous lifestyle in a blog post. Polyamory is a form of consensual non-monogamy that allows for multiple romantic relationships with the consent of all parties involved.

Shahaid has been polyamorous for nearly 15 years but only recently gained the courage to publicly discuss it. He prefers a form of polyamory known as anarchic relationships, which have no predefined structure. This means that romantic relationships are not the ultimate goal, and there is no control over who loves whom.

Shahaid's journey to openness has not been easy. He initially feared that public disclosure would make it harder to form relationships and that he might inadvertently end up in monogamous relationships. However, he eventually overcame his fear of living a life constrained by societal norms and decided to live authentically.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
