Lol. If he's a friend, and he'll never be good at poker, tell him to steer clear. If he could become a winning player, tell him to play.

if he could be good then lolstakemanets

if he could be good then lolstakemanets

there's no chance in hell

fwiw, he's the same guy who got hit in the face with the log while drunk from another thread of mine

If you would really get more joy seeing your friend go bankrupt to faceless poker grinders than seeing him get off his arse and get a proper job and leave gambling to others, then by all means, encourage away.

[swiggidy]

are you going to tell him to pay then sit at his tables and take his money? If not this isn't +eV at all.

If he's your friend and you don't think he'd make it, you should obviously tell him to steer clear.

I've done this with several of my better friends who I know would only feed the fish pool. Too bad one of them didn't listen anyway...but he has money to burn (I think).

[swiggidy]

I tried to get one friend in, he's so bad I realized I should never help anyone I know unless they approached me. He's been playing $3 turbos on stars for over a year.
