Biggest degenerate gambler who is also a poker pro

[blackjack777]

Is it TJ Cloutier hands down?

Someone told me about 20 percent of the pros are playing using backers, but TJ was the only one I could think of.

What do you guys think, is anyone worse off than TJ?

As soon as I saw this thread I thought of TJ, some might make a case for Phil Ivey, but TJ wins IMO.

[blackjack777]

Wow, Phil Ivey? Seriously? I thought he was totally loaded with investments and endorsements and such.

[GTL]

he is totally loaded, but i assume he likes to gamble. i don't think he will ever go broke though.

what does being a degenerate gambler have to do with playing for a backer?

[blackjack777]

When I say playing for a backer, I mean, they are basically BUSTO. Thus, would have no other way of playing without their backer.

[MJC1977]

Wouldn't using a backer make you more risk adverse, and therefore less degenerate. Also, who says a degenerate gambler has to be broke?

Ok, let's rephrase, which pro poker player blows the largest percentage of his winnings at other casino games?
