Re: Vinny Vinh dead or pokernews wrong?
Could be heroin, also has that same gaunt look. Given Vinny's usual disposition, I'm not sure he could be functional on meth for any lenght of time. With his inherant rage problem, meth would certainly be a fast one-way ticket to paranoia land. I would lean toward heroin or another opiate-based drug mainlined
In fact, the last time Vinny did this, (that I remember anyway), way during the CA State Champ. Almost exact same situation, was one of the chip-leaders and ended up blinding off 21st, I believe. But somebody had found him, so everyone knew he was in the hospital, they just tried not to say from what.
Weird, huh. Some kind of Karmic sign for him maybe. Having a drug habit and letting it rage out of control so you cannot play poker, IS BAD.
I hope the backing agreement now has a clause forcing successful detox, and for him to stay clean. It's kind of a weird person to be doing it, but since they are friends, if he doesn't want to lose him, he really needs to use it to leverage him. Otherwise, he will never go.
Best of luck to Vinny, his friends and family. I know what is like to be in the hospital, and for whatever reason, you always just what to get better and leave. May the blessings of your beliefs shine upon you.
