You are right, its very badly written and I aplogize.
If I could edit it I would do it. I didnt mean to disrespect anyone.
I dont even see the value in talking about this. I once heard do not talk about people who are no longer with us, especially not in a bad way. Since this was not given and it cant be secured that it will be, I suggest to delete the whole thread. If anyone of the familes reads this here, my condolences for those no longer with us and apolgies for anyone reading this. It was a bad idea to even bring this up.
This is my edit fwiw. But please delete this whole thing.
This group of people is what got me thinking. In no particuar order and not to disrespect any of them.
Matt Marafioti-ADZ, used to see and rail him on pokerstars a lot. He was always multitabling the higher(st) nl cash tables. Everytime I looked he was either playing or waiting. Then a few youtube videos where he came across a little douchey but not that bad. I kinda liked and looked up to him at the time. After a while he had somewhat of meltdown on youtube and twitter. Never understood why.
Chad Batista- lilholdem, was an online mtt player who was ranked no1 player for the longest time ever. This is pre black friday. He continued with similar results after bf from mexico. He is an online legend, but died at age 35. If I would have continued to play, I would have probably played vs him so this made me sad when I heard it. Seemed like a good person.
Richard Lyndaker (nutsinho) Poker legend, also died way too soon. If you play poker you probaly know and like nutsinho.
Bandi Hawbaker- made me sad too. Seemed like a nice person and somewhat gambling addicted.
Grant Amato - This guy murdered his whole family becuase he was addicted to a bulgarian camgirl. He pulled allnighters watching her and send her 250k of stolen money from his family cc cards. When they called him out he killed them. Honestly one of the more chilling cases.
Rocky Rambo Kam- Just learned about this, the guy played a lot of video games. It is unexplainable what he did. But he killed 2 people.
Gavin Smith, one of my heros died way too young. Liked to see him in the poker videos.
Stu Ungar, probably needs no introduction. I thought nobody of the poker players did.
Mario Zwansleitner- Recent news, a streamer who killed his girlfriend and then suicided. Sad story.
Alessandro Bastianoni -commited suicide after losing around $600.000 playing.
Just read about him.
Max Heinzelmann, was a german poker player. I did see him in a few videos as many of us probably have.
