Well, these guys are my opponents and my friends. I don't really hang out with them outside of poker, but they're good guys. I guess it won't hurt to have a little better competition.

If you don't hang out with them outside of poker then they probably aren't your friends. I wouldn't lie to them about the fact that I am a serious and educated player, but I wouldn't spoon feed these guys information.

I would think about giving one of them information only if I thought that person was going to develop into a player that could give information back to me down the road. If they aren't willing to buy a book than you can forget about that happening.
