Matusow talked about this before during the WSOP coverage last yr.
He said that he was a millionaire and he wasted all his money on the vegas lifestyle, strippers, etc. TJ also has a gambling problem but his is with the craps table. His WSOP money from his win this yr is prolly already gone as well. |

i think in the same issue of Card Player (not positive), Amir Vahedi said he has had to beg his way to be backed, then won 225,000, played blackjack, begged again. I'm sure its very common. I think with the new crop of players though, it won't be quite as bad because a lot of the new pros came from much different backgrounds than the old guys. Obviously some will get caught up in the lifestyle, but in my opinion not as many.

I think that's what a lot of people (incorrectly) think.
But think about it.... they can't ALL be winning, and that's if they stick to poker. Throw in life's other vices and I wouldn't be surprised if a LOT of the pros you think are rich are actually dead broke. And yes, MatuSwa it is! |
