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

This can come up not just with friends but also with family. They think that just because you make good money playing poker that you are not really working and have lots of disposable cash to lend/give. They don't have a clue about the concept of a bankroll, and that they might be making a request equivalent to asking a mechanic to loan half his toolbox. If they didn't think you had the money they would do something else. Tell him to do whatever that would be. And the key point here is that you said such a loan wouldn't even make a dent. So what would Joey Knish tell him?
