worst post Black Friday story ive read.....what a shame R.I.P
This story is emotional. That is a big trauma to overcome, but as his dad stated, it takes a series of events, for ones life to downspiral. I believe that Black Friday wasn't everything to do with his suicide, just a very big contributing factor.
But nonetheless, this is heart shattering to see a fellow human being take his own life over money. Hoping someday this society will change and we open our eyes to see what we have in life and not what we lost.
Rest in Peace
thats terrible
Could you imagine poker in heaven? No-one could ever lose a pot, so it would chop every hand. lolz.Quote:

wow that's horrible...
Very sad and touching story, got me goosebumps.
This is what I think about poker, some of you will agree while others will disagree:
Since it's a game, it doesn't suit well as a career.
You need luck, that's for sure, to win big tournaments and to earn a big amount of money.
Of course skill is part of it, as in many games, but luck plays an immense factor as well.
Besides, in many cases like one in the article, poker can make you less social, especially when you play online and are hooked to it. When you lose, it gives you more stress. Mainly for those who try to make a living out of it.
Another sad truth is the fact that most players lose money, along with the high rakes paid.
That's why you should look at poker as a hobby. Have fun while you play it, or don't.
Secure yourself a stable job and if you're into playing poker, do it on your spare time.
I'm sure this happens daily but only a few make the national news.
