Re: Has your poker success ever caused a friend to ask for $$$?
 

Seeing this post made me laugh, not at your situation but at one I encountered. I know this guy (online only) that Ive played fantasy football with for about 4 years and one day I was telling him about the $ I made at poker and he asked if he could borrow $12k to get his mail order type bride to move to the US from whatever country she was in. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to tell him no.

I'm not well-known locally. But, no.

I'm not locally famous or anything...I'm just originally from a town of less than 100,000 and everyone knows about my poker (a hometown hero in a fish pond but probably little more than a blue marlin in the shark tank).

As far as you not being locally well-known, you are well-known in this community...if there was a 2+2 conference, it might get you somewhere with the ladies on here! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seeing that we don't know you or your friend, you mind describing sort of what kinda of trouble he is in? This would help us give better advice. Also the extent to your relationship would be helpful.

Its not a crime perpatrated against an individual, if you catch my drift. That's not in his character. It's still a huge legal problem, though. Of course, I won't discuss specifics out of respect for him.

I borrow my brother a few times money and 2 friends get money at any time. I know i get it back from them, but i never borrow money that bring myself in trouble.
