Some People Should Not Be Playing Poker

The other day i was driving and saw this familiar face scrounging through a trash bin, i regularly play with this guy at the Hawaaian Gardens CAsino, $3/$6 Limit Omaha. I'm thinking picking up plastics is just a hobby for this old guy.

That same night I played Limit Omaha and that same Old guy sits to my right, Im a raiser and i like to build pots but that night i could not seem to do it against this guy. I even gave him a freebie when I checked the nuts on the river on one of the hands. He is very passive and could hardly see the flop, he is just giving away his money, when he finally lost all his money(mostly to me), he stood up, wished everybody goodluck and left. I felt really bad for the guy, I wanted to give him his $100 back but i'm sure he'll just blow it again on the felt.
As I was driving home, i could not stop thinking about him and saying to myself, "I hope I dont become like him".

Anyway, I like to ask some of you, HAve you ever felt bad for any of your poker opponents(except friends and relatives), complete stranger when they are losing?
