I can't believe that so many of you are giving her a hard time. I, for one, believe her. It may sound awfully naive and foolish on her part to ever have gotten involved with this guy, but people do do stupid things.
I hate to say this, but the poker world is full of scumbags and grifters. Anybody who has lent money in a casino can tell you stories of getting stiffed. And while poker is relatively clean these days, 30 years ago, it was a totally different situation. And many of the old timers that you young kids idolize today were active cheaters and con men back in those days.
I would advice all you young kids to not lend money in a casino (including letting someone 'hold' your money). Nor should you put anyone into games, cause the odds are good that half the money you give him to play will wind up in his pocket, and the rest will be deliberately lost.
It saddens me whenever I see some young kid getting taken again by one of these old time scumbags.

Very true. But the new time young scumbags and cheaters of the online poker scene have carried on the scumbag tradition very "well".
