Greatest Poker Degenerates Of All Time

[Cpvr]

Who would you say are the biggest poker degenerates of all time? I’m talking about players who raked in millions at the tables, only to burn through it with wild gambling sprees, outrageous lifestyle choices, and some downright reckless decisions. Here’s my lineup—who would you add or swap out?

• Stu Ungar
• Mike Matusow
• Tom Dwan
• Shawn Sheikhan
• Erick Lindgren
• Gus Hansen

Let’s hear your picks and any crazy stories tied to these legends (or others)!

Tom Dwan is definitely up there. Doug Polk is also a poker degen.

If I could believe a word he said, I would mention Dan Bilzerian.

Stu Ungar, Mike Matusow, and Gus Hansen are good card players. Their stories are somewhat crazy. It's very important to gamble with what you can afford to risk and also do it responsibly as well. They didn't do that and have lost almost everything.
