Micro,
I disagree. If he has a poor paying job, the last thing he should be doing is playing poker. Thats what got him in this mess in the first place. If he isn't making much, he should either get a better job or a second job so that he has a guaranteed income that he can put towards paying down his debt.

I agree that the last thing OP should be doing is playing poker to get out of debt. That's what got him there in the first place as it's obvious he can't control the levels he plays at and is always chasing losses and doubling up when he wins.
OP, if your salary isn't enough to come up with a reasonable plan to get out of debt, then search for a higher paying job or get another part-time job (or both). Filing for bankruptcy is the weasel way out. You spent the money so suck up and pay off the debts. The real sad part of the story is that you've brought the family along for the ride. It's too bad your wife has to put up with tough times, while struggling to pay off the debt, because you were an idiot.
