My friend does have something to gain if Im a winning player. I will pay him the money he spent back and Im sure I will buy groceries and stuff for the appartment a lot more than he will if I wind up being a winner at higher stakes.

I have played poker almost all of my life so I know the game very well already I just dont have much money to invest in it since Im in college. I will read different books and after the 5 week I will refer back to them like I do the books I have already read.

I know there is no downside for me and my roommate wouldnt have offered unless he thought it would be +EV for him. He knows how I play and whether Im a winning player or not. He deals cards for a living he gets to see who the winners are and how they play Im sure he wouldnt have offered this unless he saw that in me.
