Top letter from decembers issue of poker player mag

THIS DE- GENERATION

"First off i want to say thanks for an excellent read each month. I always look forward to your mag dropping onto my mat each month and enjoy reading the strategy and interviews.
But there is one thing that is strating to get on my nerves. What is the obsession with degens and young lads throwing their money away and expecting a round of applause rather than a good kick up the arse.
There is nothing to be proud of about being a "degen". Frankly most of them should be ashamed of wasting their money rather than taking adavantage of all this money they have at such a young age. Im not saying they shouldnt have fun, but surely you can have fun without gambling on stupid things all the time when you know you are going to lose money. Thats not funny , its just daft ."
