"You can become a good player." They don't know what they are talking about.

F*ck that.
Learning to be able to beat a $100 NL game is NOT hard if you study and are open to advice... and willing to put the changes into place. I'm not saying this guy can or cannot do it, frankly it sounds as though he lacks self control (knowing when to fold hands, learning to be patient, not over value'ing hands).. which could be the deciding factor on if he could be a winning player. If he cannot get self control then yeah, he won't be able to beat the game. If he did however learn to control his play and play the game the winning way... crushing a $100 NL game isn't the most challenging thing in the world. I am not however condoning him to continue playing this game, I think someone with a gambling problem should obviously stop immediately, i am just saying though that he could learn to be a winning player... anyone can, it's just up to him if he's willing to practice what he learns and is told.
