If the guy had to choose between paying you or paying his rent, do you think you would come first or second?

and why?

Many online staking deals turn bad. Many staking deals to friends turn bad. Basically it is a debt that is very hard to collect. And lending money to a guy that had to use his entire bankroll to paying bills smells like trouble.

The exception would be if you know him well and know him to be a trustworthy guy that temporarily don't have resources to play at the limit where he would be able to win the most money. Ie, bumping an already successful player up a limit. I would have to know that if something goes bad he will be committed to paying back (if that was a term of the deal).
