Re: Is playing with friends plus or minus ev?
I played with friends/family for the first time this past Friday night. Left the game +130. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I recall a quote, can't remember who, but they said something to the effect of not being afraid to bust their own grandmother.
I dunno if you are talking +/- EV in terms of the friendship or in terms of winrates and poker.
Depending on how seriously you guys are taking the game, it could be -ev. If you bust your friend and take all his money, if he goes on tilt and punches you or says some things he doesn't mean, it could be -ev.
If all you guys take the game very seriously, study, etc., then in poker terms it would be -ev as well since you will basically be playing at a table full of sharks.
So, it depends on what type of game you're in and what you are trying to accomplish.
