Obviously he should have chosen a better career than poker playing.

My thoughts exactly, Trotter. If your "career" drives up massive debt and can't actually sustain you, it ain't a career.

The fry guy at McDonald's has a better career.

Well, we can all agree that this guy's a scumbag so lets move on to the ridiculous statement on the evils of gambling that this article is supposed to REALLY be about. Its a little sad that whoever wrote this (I dont see their name here) didnt actually read their own article. According to the article, the reason he was in debt was because of his irresponsible spending habits. So let me guess…we dont know if he was in the hole from poker, so lets just assume he was? That's some good objective reporting there.By the way, the key to professional poker is money management, and there's no TRUE poker pro (as opposed to someone who plays poker because he doesnt want to work for a living) who will tell you otherwise.

Ernest now has all the time in the world to look at the will. He's gotta read something while he rots away in a jail cell.

No, he doesn't look like a murderous psychopath at all.

Instead of resorting to murder, wouldn't it have been easier to just ask the folks for some more money?

Can you really call yourself a professional if you owe money? They always show the winnings for these guys, but they never show their losses. It's like running a restaurant and telling people that you made a million dollars…you know, before expenses, payroll, taxes, etc. Oh, after that, oh, I actually owe about $200,000. There are thousands of bums like this walking around Vegas, he just happened to have rich parents, so the story made the paper.
