Got scammed on a lot of other things by other poker players and 1 family member for 50k, the majority of the 250k though was getting rolled from people betting sports when black Friday happened

Yup, it's crazy how many times since that i've seen people with a similar attitude/approach

I helped out a buddy of mine was a great player he did the same thing loaned out money guy never payed back and he was showing off all the money he made from poker and ended up getting robbed and ended up broke. I loaned him 5 k and hes payed me back and i got a nice profit out of it so not everyone gets ripped off and sometimes people go busto and need help from bad situation, but the good thing is you learn from it and it makes you a smarter person with dealing with people. You just got to make sure you ask around about the guy from other players about his character and paying back and that pretty much can tell you whether they are trust worthy or not. I loaned out a few thousand online too and i got payed back with no problems. but dont worry about that guy when people do dishonest things its bad karma it comes back worse for them in the end. I like to help people its one of the best feelings you can have is being unselfish and making other people happy so I hope this doesn't discourage people to do favors for others but all it takes is one a hole and it ruins it for all the good people out there.
I've still been playing full time ever since, I play mostly HS cash / $500 HU SNGs, took 2 years off after black friday but have been back again for ~6-7 months now
