I have no qualms helping good people, regardless of if it's -EV. My sense of self worth is worth more than the game of poker.

Don't get me wrong... I've helped out a few players because they were friends or good people. I'm just simply stating that is indeed bad for the game.

i'm sure it is. that said, i'm sure it will be relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of "game-badness".

Good work, Bob.

Well put. And good of you to help out a good/nice guy. :thumbup:

Thanks for the book. I'll give it a read sometime.

Who's saying he'll actually apply the concepts correctly? Chances are he'll be one of those people carrying money from the bottom of the pyramid upwards taking a few shots at higher games and eventually setteling at some mid-stakes game.

etc blahblahblah etc

bottom line, helping out a nice guy is fine

weren't that how most of you started out?

I've coached a lot of people and ended up playing against some of them. I don't hate myself.

Classy move. I don't think it's such a big deal because it will keep you honest about your game- you can't think he's going to all of the sudden start taking your money at the tables just because he read a book he probably would have come across eventually anyway. Also, you're probably saving him a lot of money. There are plenty of other fish.

You did a good thing. Be proud of yourself.
