I watched this a couple weeks ago but never posted my thoughts. I think that while this is a description of some people, the vast majority of players are nothing like this and I think it sort of gives poker players a bad rep (although I think mostly poker players will watch this anyway). Despite that, it's an interesting story and take on it.
 
I think the thing to realize it wasn't poker that destroyed his life, it was addiction. Too much of anything can ruin your life, and he just had a very addictive personality. Better that he got into poker and therefore had the money to get through therapy than if he had gotten into drugs and died imo. 
 
Also, what the F was that girl thinking? "As long as he pays the rent every month I don't want to know how much he's making"??? See how that treats you when 30 years from now you realize he hasn't saved up anything and has barely been squeaking by. She's lucky he was actually making a lot of money.
