Poker is a very very dark world. Less than 1% of the people make a living at it. The other 99% feed the 1%.
Many people are addicts, if not in poker then in regular casino games. There are many predators in poker (loan sharks, scams, cheating rings, etc.)
I believe she was escorting. No one wants to admit that but that is more a reality than any other speculation.
She didn’t deserve to die but no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room. She was escorting to feed her bankroll. End of story.
PS, I’ve met Susie and she was a beautiful person on the inside. However much like other poker players, she was not immune to the darker side of poker.
DO NOT believe what you see on TV about Millions of dollars. Those people that win Millions owe other people Millions bcuz they have lost Millions.
Don’t believe me…research the following names:
Chino Rheem
Tom Dwan
Calvin Anderson
The list goes on and on!
Court record shows she suffered from Schizophrenia that nobody knew. Her "out of character" behaviour was considered being "high on drugs".
I am an advantage player for many years. The life of a professional gambler is extremely stressful and somewhat dysfunctional. The "Psychological Effect of Risk Taking" is something the best of us can NOT escape from. You can only AVOID it. Once you are involved with it, it will get you just about every single time. I hope less people are drawn to this work.
being from vegas and travelling every year back to pa for fam visits etc i can see that possibly she'd checked out of that room ,went out that eve maybe was ruffied with ? or whatever "wasted" and forgot and tried to get back into her old room ,oldman predator thought he hit the lotto
Anna…gorl…'sup wit dat Covid coif? (Great blouse, tho.)
It’s not her fault she didn’t know what she was getting into. Don’t blame her. She seems like a vulnerable girl who walked into the path of the Devil.
I have given a homeless person my phone number before….
Trying to help him & caught off guard when he asked for it. He never called…
She might have tried to help him…and that's how she was rewarded. Heartbreaking!
I don’t see how y’all find it hard to believe 🤦🏽♀️
Feel like drugs has something to do with this maybe she hustled on the side he needed something ?
Wasnt a Transient. A lot of money in poker. She was highly sought after for her looks, but constantly turning guys down. One guys didnt like the work "NO".
love Ana Garcia. She’s amazing and informative. This show would be nothing without her!
In my opinion, they met for the purpose of buying, selling or using drugs and/or for her to perform escort services.
I think that she owed money to the wrong people.. It was not random, she met him earlier in the motel..
That’s horrifying
I don't think it's fair to automatically assume she was an addict…
why don't you get it. prostitution is a real thing . she might have been doing just that
She was escorting, it's so obvious.
Lots of strong women can do business if needed, absolutely no judgment.
Lots of so so famous people escort through "celebrity escort agencies".
This guy is a monster.
She played cash games all the time. The WSOP winnings are from tournaments. She played high stakes cash games so she had money
She was a beautiful woman, I wish I cou)d have been there to stop it
Lord this is sad
just so you know the Sherwood Motel is a pretty run-down Motel right by Pontiac Michigan that is a very high crime city in Michigan. Pontiac is just a mini Detroit
Pontiac Lake Recreation is only two miles from my house.. why didn't I hear anything about this ?? crazy!!
Hi how’s it going watching from Broomfield Colorado
