So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.

The lurid and insane saga of "poker pro" William Gustafik, from the perspective of his wife, who stabbed him to death the other day.

Banner points:

Daily regiment started with coffee + Ativan, followed quickly by lines of cocaine with a chaser of testosterone gel smeared on his thighs and injected into his arms.

He would then retire to his "office" to do cocaine in earnest while.. wait for it.. playing poker online!

The article is basically a review of a 10 page suicide email his wife sent out after murdering him. She sent it, then tried to fly in some Bay Area hotel room, and of course failed and ended up arrested.

Bon appetite!

I love how she said that she gambled too but she would lose and then supported this by mentioning a 20k score at roulette.

If you were 30 tabling 10NL for a living you'd do coke too

Thats cause there is a massive difference between a guy who gambles and and doesnt stop cause he is winning / not much down. And an other guy who is gambling losing a ton more then he can afford and doesnt stop. Seems pretty basic to understand this difference...

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

This is the best thing I have ever read, hands down. Thank you so much OP.

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

lol donkaments?

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

Funny how she doesn't mention if she was doing coke/drinking much herself...

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

This made me realize I don't have a gambling problem, awesomse!

She definitely mentions she was doing drugs to but she obviously doesn't highlight the fact.

The dude was in an episaode or two of Cash Poker btw.

This might be nitty, but why would you write this when in the article its obvious this isn't the case? He wasn't slapping testosterone on his thighs to prepare for a stint of online poker. It was obvious he was using some of those substances for his physical condition.

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

RE:Cash Poker
Was he that buff guy who lost like $10-15k but "really learned alot" and "would definately return" (quoted freely from memory)?

I think he went broke with KT when he checkraised the turn all-in with top pair (tens?) and a flush draw against AA.

sounds like the world is better off with this POS not in it anyway.

He checkraised w/ KT v QQ in the hand you are thining. And, LOL, I just pulled up the clip, in the post interview he said "It was a great tournament..."

FWIW i grew up in the town next to San Ramon, CA

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.

The episode in question is #13 but I'm fairly sure he was in an earlier one as well.

Normally I'd be more sensitive, but this guy sounds like such a jackass.

i think youre mistaken actually; people who stop roiding need to take testosterone fairly constantly until their nuts recover.

youre right tho, she doesnt specifically indicate that this was part of his morning regiment, but my understanding of degenerate behavior and roid use/abuse would indicate that this was in fact part of his routine.

again if you know something about post roid testosterone therapy that i dont (totally possible btw), my apologies in advance, but i know a lot of dudes who cycle roids for martial arts/wrestling/etc, and when they lay off the anabolics, they are not stingy with the testosterone injections, and usually do include them with their morning suplements etc.

she actually spelled it child PRON wtf

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

Re: So you think youre a degenerate? The bar is *raised*, broseph.
 

I felt bad about this. Then I remembered he was a cokehead doing steroids that loved choking during sex and partnering up with a child porn doctor before the poker thing ever happened. Then I felt better [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

in conclusion, lol donkaments.

Ok so I had a copy of a cash poker episode with this guy in it already - check this out, it shows him talking to another guy at the table and making strangling motions, pretty disturbing:

Wow, so the oatmeal lased with (what you assumed to be lethal) cocktail of drugs tasted bad?

Really? No kidding bitch. What you expecting it to taste of, milk and honey?
