Wonder how many people die in Vegas hotel rooms in a year. Counting the fleabag motel rooms and extended stay. Hmmmmmm my guess 6or7 a month. Let's call it 90 people a year. Probably more.

Brings to mind the dark comedy "Very Bad Things" , which The Hangover ripped off.

You cant take it with you, so might as well spend it

Especially with his talent-- he could have always made more
He spent most of his poker winnings on cocaine and on casino games where he held no advantage.
But it's true, his terrible bankroll management was due to the fact he believed he could win at poker any time, which was probably accurate.

Truly a degenerate, but was the best poker player I have ever seen....

Sorry to hear that about The Meatman.

He was a character.

RIP Dave.

Sad to hear of Dave’s passing. I used to go on his KLAV radio show to talk poker. He even got his listeners to chip in for a $500 entry for a poker tournament at the Imperial Palace and rightfully gave me grief when I flamed out in a couple hours.

My interactions with the man were more positive than negative.

RIP Dave “The Meatman” Scandaliato
