Re: How to break off with old high school friends?
Start talking poker, and I don't mean exciting stuff. Fill the stories with nothing but your analysis of pot odds, implied odds etc.
For example:
I was UTG+1 and I raised with A/Q suited, it was then folded to Villain 3 off of the button he reraised. It was then folded back around to me I called and saw the flop.
There were 6.5 small bets in the pot.
The flop came J/10/4 with two hearts.
I checked, villain bet and there were now 7.5 small bets in the pot.
I had a gutshot straight draw, with a backdoor flush draw...(now here is where you really prattle on and on about outs, and odds etc. make sure you go into why you have to discount certain outs)
Do this until his his eyes start to glaze over...and if the hand was online even better. Start to throw in the villain's poker tracker stats.
