Who would you say is the biggest poker bust ever?

I say Dutch Boyd...

Jennifer Tilly in a landslide.

Only because ESPN humped his leg in their 03 coverage. You can't really blame them, as he's got an interesting background. He's got "acceptable" results...just sucks for him that ESPN hyped him.

How about Huck Seed? You never seem to see him at the final table of any televised events.

Huck seems to play good when I see him on tv. You can check with chris rose and the pervey looking sidekick but I think he is still in the superstars 2. He comes off as pretty bright and creative to me. But then again I post in the world poker tour section.

Never see Robert Varkonyi doing anything since he won in 2002.

Yes you do. You see him busting out on day 1 of the 2004 and 2005 ME.

I'm sure I'll get flamed, but how about Stu Unger? Couldn't stay away from drugs. Another nominee for me would be Gus Hansen, a great tourny player who apparently has a problem with cash game selection.

To me these are bigger busts than Varkoni, who just had a run of luck. Gus still has a chance to redeem himself.

it's "poker busts", not life busts, so Ungar would not qualify.
