The Sham Report

About

The story behind The Sham Report and ShamGod Media.

Texas Poker. Unfiltered.

The Sham Report was built for one reason: Texas poker deserved better coverage. Not press releases. Not sponsored content. Real reporting from someone who has lived the game.

Shomari Williams, known in poker circles as Sham, brings over 15 years of live poker experience and a broadcast journalism background to every story. He has sat in the rooms, played the games, and knows the players. That access drives the reporting.

The Sham Report is an independent publication under ShamGod Media LLC, based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. No corporate backing. No conflicts of interest. Just the story.
