I view playing live with friends totally different than playing online. Online is business, it's cold, and i play mercilessly, i'm not trying to look good or impress anyone.

But when i play with my friends, I'm the "poker pro", and i feel pressure to play at a certain level above them. There's no question i'm the better poker player, but as we all know, being better at poker isn't always obvious.

this particular hand took place after a long stretch of brutal suck outs and cold hands.

the reason i didn't call the river was because i didn't have any money left, i had rebought twice and decided to pick a better spot. That and because this guy i was playing against was just as likely to have a full boat there, and i didn't expect him to bet so much on the river.
