Re: Betting Strategy
[ QUOTE ]
1) In my home game, when I started betting big, I got a lot of 'attitude' from people. It was all in good spirits but they were not happy and made comments about taking the fun out of the game and taking it all too seriusly. What's the best response to that? I obviously want to win and while I was playing TA I was winning but I became less Tight and less agressive (and lost!!)

I have been in the same type of situation. My friends know that I play poker a lot and that I take it very seriously. Usually in home games we play 2-3 tournament style games. I will always play like a maniac during one of the games just to liven up the environment.
All of my poker buddies are playing poker for the social aspect of the game. We generally play $20 buy-in tournaments and $20 is lunch money to most of these guys.
I know most everyone will say that they would never play crazy if money was on the line but the fact of the matter is I like being invited to games and I like having a good time. I can't get any casino poker unless I drive 4 hours so I have to take what I can get.
