Does your friend seem pissed at you? What would you do if you were having a home game with your buds?

He seemed pissed at first, or maybe crushed. Him and I were competitive throughout sports in High School. We neve saw eye-to-eye on anything and for the longest time we weren't that big on the friend connection - we were more of an acquaintance to each other.

And a home game...those don't happen because none of my friends play poker. I don't have anything in common with most of my friends anymore. I play poker, traded stocks and foreign exchange, save my money, I'm in the National Guard, been deployed 2 times, while they work, party, go clubbing, spend their money on stupid things...etc. I don't even go to the same college as any of my friends, AND most of the people I graduated high school with are already graduated from college.

It sounds like I'm a loner, but I'm not. I just choose to do things differently.

I live with 2 other guys, the one plays online poker alot, but he isn't as serious as I am (working on getting better, understanding the game better, being consistent). He thinks when he wins that he is good, but I think it's luck and variance. He goes all-in with -EV cards just to try to push people around. He also plays on BoDog and when I played on there for him, I would categorize that site as very soft.

My other roommate doesn't play poker, in fact, the only thing he does is drink alcohol, listen to music, and play the guitar.
