Default Re: Winning big - The worst scenario for new players?

I know people who have won thousands and thousands and then tanked it all. I had a friend who won a huge rebuy and then won two seats to the WSOP and cashed one of the seats for a total prize of around $16000 in the span of two weeks. Not even a month later this foo was hitting me up wanting me to transfer him $100. I was like what the hell did you do with that money!!!! He had won so much he figured he could win twice as much playing the high stakes...what an idiot. The guy still owes me $300 so I guess I wasn't the smartest person in the world either for loaning him cash. I myself had a great 2 months winning $5300 with a $20 investment and then won several sit and go's and finished up about $7000 total. I took the $5300 and paid off my car and took the leftover cash and bought just about every poker book and DVD on the market. A good investment for sure. I guess I would just advise someone to not get crazy with the cash flow!!! It goes faster than it comes.
