There is a right way to consider this. Do you act the same when it is not your friend in the pot. If your friend is asking you to give him a softplay because he frequently bluffs, then your actions appear to be correct. If you consistantly use the same tactics on others, should be no problem. If the times you are in the tank for 2-3 min. is rare, no problem. 2-3 min. everytime you are in this situation may cause you invitation to expire. Does anyone else express a problem with you 'in the tank' thinking. Is your friend the only complainer. Talk to the host away from the game. Does he have complaints from others about you thinking through your decision process.

Maybe your friend is irritated because you are a better player than he is? Does he have other problems he's trying to project onto you? He wants to take your money and gets mad if you don't cooperate.
