This article is basically like every article about online gambling I've ever read, they interview a winnner who is probably not very good ("I don't want to count on cards for rent," he said. "I've figured out you're not always going to win."). Then they interview fish A who lost all of his college tuition money and is attending GA, then they interview fish B who can't break the habit and who despite all of his shortcomings realizes that he has a problem and is trying to break the cycle. Then they're is the pro player who talks about how great poker is but that some people just don't have the disipline to do it. These things are very cookie cutter, check out the SI article from a while ago, the same article with different names.
