Who is the biggest degen in poker?

I don't think we can include people who are big gamblers but are in control of their finances & their lives in general. So Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen don't count. Maybe not even Benyamine since he seems pretty sorted?

Historically it's gotta be Stu Ungar. I don't know about Matusow now - how much is he propped up by sponsorship / endorsement deals?

Here's a dictionary definition, anyways:

Degenerate
–noun 11. a person who has declined, as in morals or character, from a type or standard considered normal.
12. a person or thing that reverts to an earlier stage of culture, development, or evolution.
13. a sexual deviate.
