Somebody outside of poker needs to help this guy. When he stops hiding from reality he’s going to be massively depressed.

The video above indicates he is having a middle age crisis.


Do you guys see anyone like Esfandiari or that other paragon of mental health, Negraneau, doing anything?

Most of these guys didn’t make it to the other side. We were so enthralled with the whole Poker lifestyle at one point. Woulda swapped lives in a heartbeat. Scary.
Well said. I definitely had thoughts/dreams of being a professional poker player at one point. I’m so lucky I didn’t have the drive/discipline/skill/luck to turn the dream into a reality. No question my life turned out for the better by a mile.
