FWIW, going on this trip will significantly increase the chances that he goes broke and doesn't get to play poker anymore (at least for some period of time, depending on how easy it is for him to replenish his bankroll).

True, if he keeps playing his normal game underbankrolled. So maybe he has to play $1/$2 NL for a month when he gets back instead of $2/$5 NL. If he's a winning player, he'll be able to rebuild his roll pretty quickly.

I'm just saying I think it's completely worth that trade off to go on what is probably going to be a great trip/opportunity that won't come around very often.
