The tone of these comments is getting annoying. Yes of course there are people in poker who fit this quoted description. It's somewhat lame that they are in the elite, rare category of truly top professional, but yes they exist. E-dog was never one of those types, though, and he's actually on the other end of the spectrum, a pure action junkie.
To me, the most surprising thing about the countless comments identical to yours is how naive you are. What do you expect, a player to discuss his gambling and financial problems on TV? Did you not realize that many poker players are gambling addicts?
People are rarely honest with
themselves about the impact of their leaks, so they're not going to come out on ESPN and say, "I'm broke despite my 7/8-figure winnings/income," but you can safely assume going forward that quote describes many players.
