Making a living now, but see how he is doing in the future. Eventually they ALL lose. All of them. It's a matter of simple mathematics. Only .0000001 % of poker players make a living at it for their ENTIRE lives and when they are old, they look back at a life of sitting on their asses, playing with chips and cards all day long and having accomplished nothing with their pathetic lives. Poker is a GAME. Not a career or a job. It accomplishes nothing and takes away everything. It warps your sense of what a dollar is really worth and warps the concept of accomplishment. It's the "American Dream" of free lunch that seduces idiots to the table. All these poker players think they are all "smart" cause they know when to raise and when to fold... then they pat themselves on the back thinking how smart they are and that they don't have to work a real job because they are oh so clever.
One day when your friend hits you up for the rent money cause he's wasted broke, you'll remember this post.
