Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6741662, member: 430261"] If a player need's to borrow money from someone to gamble, then they have a problem, and you are not helping them by loaning them money they cannot afford to lose. I have in the past lent players money in a live game in order to re-buy back into the game, but in retrospect it has never helped them, only caused them to play for a few more hands before they make the same mistakes again. If I lose, and cannot afford to re-buy, I simply don't play. It's that simple, I would never approach another player begging for a loan, because the way I look at it is, If I borrowed money, lets say $100 to play Poker and lost that, then I would have to work and earn $200 to be able to pay them back, and recoup the money I lost that wasn't mine in the first place. Borrowing money when you have a problem is a slippery slope that only gets steeper the more you borrow. Just Don't Do It! [/QUOTE]
