Re: Loaning friends money
i'll give any close friend a couple hundred bucks and/or a place to crash for a couple weeks if they need it, beyond that i cant help you. that should really be all the help any able bodied person needs in this day and age

Re: Loaning friends money
I guess i'm in the minority, but I lend $$ to friends all the time. At the moment, I have like $30k out. $20k to a family member that will pay me when he can (he has borrowed and payed back several times), $5k to a poker friend (probably the 30th time i've lent him chips online and hes payed every time), and another $5k in chips to another poker friend (also borrowed many times).
I'm sure I will get burned at some point, but thats life. I'd rather err on the side of helping my friends out than tell them no when I can afford it. Having said all that, I wouldn't lend money to casual aquaitences. All of these people are close friends or family. Tuco.

But, if your friends just want to play poker online, then it seems to me that you're hardly helping your friends. In that situation, I view the risk as greater than the reward.
