Staking a friend question

Finding a 40 hr/week job that pays $8.00 an hour gives him ~$275-$300 a week. I think this is better for him in the long run.

He came over last nite, we had a good time smokin and playin poker and vids. In his first tournament he finished 296 out of 1614 in a $5.50 MTT, just cashing (payed 297). He actually was like 110 out of 304 playing hand for hand and ended up raising a limper with KJo, then pushing a flop of Q92 and got called by 44 for a lot of chips. He ended up cashing b/c he started the hand with more chips then the other guys who went busto.
He then finished 454th out of 699 in an $11 6max MTT. He ran KK into AA playin 5 handed.
He then finished 13th in an $11 180 man SnG. Had it all in with K7 vs. A8cc on a As7c6dKc board and lost to the flush for a 2x chip lead.

Today, he woke up and got a call from his job at the bar, saying they could give him some extra hours today, so he's headed home to work(good descion and a little ironic).

In all, -$4.
