I'm not sure why you are making this about me. I've played 5/10 for over 2 years and have put in more hours at 5/10 than 2/5 this past year. My reasons for helping players in the Live Low Stakes Forum and Beginners Forum rather than the Medium High Stakes Forum are my own. Truth be told, I've only played a handful of hours at 1/2 and 1/3 since 2011 and before that I only played online.

I know a guy that at one point had a gambling bankroll of $700k, "grinded" 200+ hrs of poker a month, was always comped penthouse suites at major Vegas hotels and played the highest stake games at the casino I play, and yet he had difficulty paying back (amongst other loans) a few hundred dollars he owed to a high school kid that plays at my casino. It's pathetic but it's certainly not unique.

Yes, it is too much, and I refuse to honor your request. I know plenty of degenerates (which is what 95% of poker players are, even the winning ones) that have not honored their loans, and I even know of one that went as far as to murder his backer.

Well, it certainly wouldn't happen with me. If I lent money to someone and they didn't pay back in a timely fashion they would be sucking on a .40 caliber. That being said, I'm not a bank and would just rather not waste my time collecting.
