Re: Helping friends get better
When one of my friends asks me about improving their game, I honestly tell them what I think they're doing wrong, and what I think they're doing right. Sometimes they even listen. It cuts into my winnings, but it forces me to improve my game. I think we currently have one of the tougher games around with $0.05/$0.10 blinds.

Giving advice when asked is fine for your friends. Just one warning, never give unsolicited advice. Some people will really take offense and they are the ones that will just need to learn through their beats.

Not to mention that people you don't want to improve, actually might. I tend to keep my mouth shut around the more vocal newbies who think that, say, Hellmuth's book has given them a license to beat (and berate) us "inferior" players.
