How would you like to be at a table where players softplay except when you're in the pot? Put yourself in others shoes. This isn't a team game.

You are right. This would annoy me if others were doing it. Every man for himself.

At one point in the session, a few players criticized me for playing so cut-throat vs. a friend

boo hoo. Welcome to poker. Guess what? It's a cutthroat game.

Not getting over this hurdle, and a simple one at that, you may not be cut out to play the game seriously. Serious players don't even give this issue a 2nd thought.

Thanks for your um brutal honesty.
