i agree with others that when you pay your buyin, you are allowed to play your hands as you wish. suckouts happen, but as we see with your buddy, searching for that thrill gets you broke.

i say keep inviting the guy. the only exception to that is if his presence was scaring off players i wanted there more (for whatever reason). if he's going to be a guy that ends up breaking your game b/c your players dont' like him for whatever reason...in my opinion the health of the game is most important.

he's not gonna change how he plays, it seems. so you have to figure out whether he's worth it. my answer is a resounding "yes he is" but that's assuming the game stays healthy with these other goofballs that don't understand how much they should love him.
